Curved Stairlift Installation and Safety Upgrades – Where Are We Wednesdays (07/25/2018)

Curved Stairlift Installation and Safety Upgrades
Where Are We Wednesdays (07/25/2018)

Happy Wednesday Folks!

Starting with the two pictures on the left, Kansas City Technician Darren and Technician Ivan are in Belton, Missouri today.  The top picture is of Ivan finishing up the installion of a Handicare Curved Stair Lift.  Most staircases go straight up and down, but when a staircase has a turn, we can install a custom-fitted lift to accommodate.  These lifts have many customizable options, as you can see the rail matches the woodwork of the home.  The bottom picture is of the happy customer, taking his new lift for a spin!

The top middle picture was taken by Operations Manager Jim in Skiatook, Oklahoma.  He is with Technician Owen installing a Symmetry Home Elevator.  This hydraulic elevator will service three floors once completed.

The bottom middle picture was taken by Lead Technician Adam in Springfield, Missouri today.  He is servicing an old ThyssenKrupp Access Vertical Platform Lift.  Although many of these lifts are still operating today, their original manufacturer is no longer in business.  Country Home Elevator has decades of experience with these lifts and are commonly called even when we were not the original servicing company.

Inclinator Company of America is another manufacturer that we have worked with for decades now.  They recently requested Country Home Elevator to assist in taking over service for many of their lifts that were installed by other companies.  All of lifts they reached out about require safety upgrades, maintenance, adjustment, or even replacement.  Senior Technician Ron is in Kimberling City, Missouri today running tests on one of these units.

Our crews are also in Fayetteville, Eagle Rock, Warrensburg, Bethany, Luther, Berryville, Moran, Moundville, and Nevada today.  If you see one of our trucks feel free to tag us on Facebook using #countryhomeelevator or #wherearewewednesdays

Where Are We Wednesdays (07/18/2018)

Happy Wednesday Folks!

Starting on the top left, Technicians Tim Ivan and Jesse are on a jobsite in Sunrise Beach, Missouri.  They are installing a Symmetry Home Elevator in a home with these beautiful lake views!  They quickly unloaded on the jobsite before the storms in the top right picture settled in, these heavy storms brought on flash flooding which did affect our crews.

The bottom right picture is of Senior Technician Ron on a jobsite in Kansas City, Missouri.  He joined Kansas City Technician Darren to takeover service on an existing Savaria Concord Home Elevator.  The Savaria Concord Home Elevator is no longer manufactured and this particular elevator was installed by a different company that is no longer available to service it, so Ron is reviewing the schematics before beginning work.  These documents outline the wiring and installation for this specific elevator, and were thankfully let onsite when the elevator was installed well over a decade ago.  This crew was also affected by the flooding, they had to detour from a potentially dangerous situation.

The final picture on the bottom right was sent in by Country Home Elevator Owner Craig Jones.  He is in Arkansas this week assisting the team there on some projects.  During his travels he picked up this beauty for our new sister company, Barn Find Classic Cars. 

Our crews are also in Chanute, El Dorado Springs, Belton, Parkville, Overland Park, Luther, Bonner Springs, and Topeka today.  If you see one of our trucks feel free to tag us on Facebook using #countryhomeelevator or #wherearewewednesdays

Where Are We Wednesdays (07/11/2018)

Happy Wednesday Folks!

Starting on the top left, Senior Technician Ron and Lead Technician Adam are in Warsaw, Missouri today.  They are responding to a service request for a Savaria Telecab elevator.  Although Country Home Elevator has been installing and servicing Savaria products for well over a decade, we are expanding our line to include the Savaria Vuelift.  These elevators are comprised of glass walls, giving customers full views.  We will be releasing more information soon on all of our upcoming products!

Oklahoma Operations Manager Jim took the middle left picture today while in Edmond, Oklahoma.  He is visiting the jobsite for a new office building that will feature a Symmetry Limited Use/Limited Access (LU/LA) Elevator.  This elevator will service 3 floors once completed.  Jim met with the contractor to discuss the hoistway construction and recheck framing measurements.  These visits are crucial when installing any of our products, it is simple to correct any issues at this stage before the elevator is built.

The bottom picture on the left and the top picture on the right were taken in Rogers, Arkansas by Technician Tim and Technician Ivan.  They are preforming a retro kit installation on a LEV Home Elevator.  This elevator is no longer manufactured, and the manufacturer is no longer operating in the States so when components fail or are damaged they are replaced with Symmetry parts.  Due to damage, they are replacing almost all of the electrical components today.

The final picture on the bottom right was sent in by Kansas City Technician Darren.  Installation Manager Bill met up with him in Lawrence, Kansas to install a Transporter Elevator.  The Transporter Elevator is the industry’s only battery powered residential home elevator, virtually eliminating concerns regarding power outages. The unit can run multiple trips (up to 10+ times), in BOTH directions, on its own batteries.

Our crews are also in Ozark, Branson, El Dorado, Mission Hills, Oklahoma City, Perkins, and Springfield today.  If you see one of our trucks, like the one in the final picture above, feel free to tag us on Facebook using #countryhomeelevator or #wherearewewednesdays

Canton Elevator Installation and Symmetry Elevators Where Are We Wednesdays (06/27/2018)

Happy Wednesday Folks!

The first two pictures were taken by Lead Technician Adam in Branson, Missouri today.  Him and Technician Austin are installing another Canton Elevator at the Grand Country Inn, one of the main attractions on the Branson Strip of Highway 76.  Along with the others at this site, this elevator is Canton’s Tradesman Model, a holeless hydraulic driven elevator that can service up to a 2500 lb capacity.  We are excited to be expanding our current Canton product line, Country Home Elevator has a new upcoming Canton project that will service up to a 3500 lb capacity.  Once that project begins we will share updates and pictures.  The top right picture is of the cartop, Adam was working on the wiring today.  Senior Technician Ron will join the team tomorrow to help them finish up and prep for the inspection.

Technician Tim snapped the middle picture of Technician Ivan filling out paperwork.  This is actually a Quality Report from Symmetry Elevating Solutions.  Each time we install one of their products, we have the opportunity to report directly to the manufacturer any issues we had or ideas to improve the product/process.  We appreciate how receptive they are, each year these products just get better and better.

Our crews are also in Platte City, Shawnee, Oak Grove, Lake Lotawana, Luther, Oklahoma City, Enid, and Springfield today.  If you see one of our trucks, like the one in the final picture above, feel free to tag us on Facebook using #countryhomeelevator or #wherearewewednesdays

Happy Wednesday Folks!

Starting with the top two pictures, Senior Technician Ron and Technician Ivan joined Oklahoma Technician Owen in Skiatook, Oklahoma this week.  They are installing a Symmetry Home Elevator that will service three floors for the future homeowner.  In the top right picture, Technician Ivan and Technician Owen are setting the elevator cab before installing the cartop. 

Each year, our technicians are required to complete a minimum of eight hours of factory training.  This training is crucial to maintain our expertise over the equipment we install/service, and to keep up to date with new safety features.  Installation Manager Bill, Lead Technician Adam, and Oklahoma Operations Manager Jim are all in Peoria, Illinois attending the CET/CAT approved course “Vertical Platform Lift Installation and Troubleshooting”.  This class is being held at the Symmetry Elevating Solutions factory, and spans over two days.  The bottom left picture is of their morning classroom training, and the bottom right picture is of their hands-on training.  Recognize the lift?  This is an unenclosed version of the vertical platform lifts they worked on in last week’s Where Are We Wednesdays post.

Our crews are also in St. Louis, Olathe, Lawson, and Parkville today.  If you see one of our trucks feel free to tag us on Facebook using #countryhomeelevator or #wherearewewednesdays

Happy Wednesday Folks!

Starting on the left, Arkansas Technician Dustin is servicing a Vertical Platform Lift in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.  This model was manufactured by Symmetry Elevating Solutions, and is enclosed in a hoistway.  These lifts can be used indoors as well. 

Kansas City Technician Darren and Technician Ivan are in Mission Hills, Kansas today installing the Symmetry Home Elevator featured in the middle on the top.  This elevator has an enterprise gate, which replaced the scissor style gate.  Scissor style gates can be flimsy and create shear hazards, they are no longer nationally code compliant.  The enterprise gate has a similar aesthetic, but with enhanced safety features.

The final pictures on the bottom middle and the right were taken by Lead Technician Adam in Osage Beach, Missouri today.  They are installing a Symmetry Vertical Platform Lift at the Dog Days Bar and Grille.  The had to use a crane to get the lift in, but now that it is fully installed it will service the boat dock, the pool, and the restaurant at the top.  In the final picture Technician Jesse is doing a final run to verify that the lift is installed properly.  This process is repeated many times before crews leave a job site.

Our crews are also in Lenexa, Golden, Tulsa, Sedalia, Mt Vernon, Edmond, Oklahoma City, and Warsaw today.  If you see one of our trucks feel free to tag us on Facebook using #countryhomeelevator or #wherearewewednesdays
