Generic elevator companies

**Generic elevator companies** are elevator companies that operates locally and do not make their own elevators and/or escalators. Instead, they just assemble them using elevator parts imported overseas.

## Description

Almost every generic elevator companies in Indonesia do not make or produce their own elevators. Instead, they buy parts from manufacturers or suppliers of elevator parts overseas (usually from China or Europe) and assemble them locally in their assembling facility or plant. The parts used on their elevators consists of elevator drives/machines, controllers, door operators, landing and car doors, elevator fixtures (car/hall operating panels, push buttons, floor indicators, etc.), guiderails, elevator cabins, and many more.

While most generic elevator companies assemble imported elevator parts into a brand new elevator, some others, however, only provide elevator modernization or (at the very least) maintenance services, or even both.

## Used elevators

Aside from providing installation of assembled elevators and/or maintenance services, some generic companies in Indonesia also offers installations of used/second-hand elevators for all kinds of building, regardless of age. These used elevators are older elevators that are dismantled or removed from one building to another one. Some of these elevators uses their original machine from when they were first installed, while some others uses a completely new machine from another company. As for the controllers, they used a completely brand new controller, the most common ones used by these elevators are made by Shanghai STEP, Mico Controls, Monarch Controls and few other brands. But of course, the quality of used elevators is not as good as new elevators even if they have been reconditioned as best as they could to look better than before.

Used elevators are often preferred by building owners who cannot afford or do not have enough budget to buy new elevators as these used elevators are sold a lot cheaper than new ones.
