About Our Company Custom Elevator Company The founders of Custom Elevator Manufacturing Company have over 150 years of combined experience in the manufacture, installation and service of various types of elevators. The partners of this family-owned business were the first to bring the roped hydraulic elevator to the U.S. market.

Roped Hydraulic System Roped Hydraulic Home Elevators from Custom Elevator Manufacturing Company Inc. are designed for reliability and easy maintenance where the hydraulic cylinder is completely above the ground, safe from oil leaks and corrosion. This environmentally safe design does not require penetration below the pit level nor does it require additional overhead room for the elevator machine. Our vibration-free submersible hydraulic power unit is located in a room or space outside of the elevator hoistway where it is simple and safe to access and eliminates the disturbance from any machine noise within the elevator car as found with other designs. Our residential elevators are furnished with two 3/8″ diameter hoist ropes and an instantaneous car safety that is activated by slackening in any single hoist rope. All of our safety devices are tested and certified in accordance with the American Standard of Mechanical Engineers (ASME A17.1/Canada CSA-B44) Safety Code for Elevators.

Custom Elevator JUL 21 Company Statement Posted by Custom Elevator | News, Statements | No Comments The Custom Elevator family is deeply saddened by the tragic death of the 7-year-old boy that occurred on a residential elevator installed in a rental property in Corolla, North Carolina. It is impossible to know the pain and suffering this family is experiencing. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of this young child. We have little knowledge of what occurred. The information we do have is primarily from media reports, including The Washington Post article stating that the elevator involved in this tragedy “was manufactured by Custom Elevator.” The Washington Post reporter contacted our office for comment. We are unable to meaningfully comment until a full and complete investigation of the incident. We can, however, share that our company is in the business of manufacturing and supplying elevator components that comprise a home elevator system. Several parts, including the outside entry door (hoistway door) to an elevator are typically supplied by local contractors. Further, Custom Elevator is not involved with the installation of the elevator system. As a manufacturer, our responsibility is to design and manufacture safe and effective elevators. Custom Elevator prioritizes safety with standards that meet or surpass governing laws and regulations.
