SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED ELEVATORS FOR TRANSIT STATION APPLICATIONS
Uniquely engineered for transit station demands:• Subways • Elevated trains • Bus depots • Airports
INSTALLING AND MAINTAINING TRANSIT ELEVATORS THAT MEET PRECISE SPECIFICATIONS AND JOB SITE REQUIREMENTSOur transit elevator system has
been developed over 30 years of
experience installing, modernizing,
servicing and maintaining elevators
in transit systems around the United
States. We can custom design any
transit elevator to meet the precise
specifications and needs of the
transit authority and the particular
requirements of the job site.
A hydraulic transit elevator is primarily used in low-rise applications. Typically serving 2 – 5 floors, their height can occasionally top 50 feet, especially in roped hydraulic configurations.
Hydraulic elevators offer speeds up to approximately 200 feet per minute, and have the unsurpassed ability to handle large capacities. Mid-American provides hydraulic elevator and lifting systems with lifting capacities exceed-ing 100,000 lbs.
