Commercial S-Series Elevator
Description

The Powerglide S-Series elevator saves on time and cost, while adding style. Ideal for commercial projects requiring an elevator for accessibility purposes, but without the travel traffic that would justify the cost of a mainstream commercial lift. The S-Series costs around 30% less than mainstream commercial elevators and has a four-week lead time compared to 30+ for imported lifts. 

S-Series Commercial Elevators comply with NZS4334:2012, an acceptable standard for an accessible route in a commercial building. The range of Designer Decors provides a choice of coordinated decors that can add a little design flair without adding the complexity of custom design. 

They're guaranteed for at least 5 years and only require servicing twice a year to meet the requirements of the NZBC, which adds up to significant savings year-on-year. Powerglide will monitor this — avoiding the hassle of organising regular servicing and safeguarding against significant increases in body-corporate fees in an apartment environment.

Powerglide's DESIGN-BUILD-INSTALL program ensures a seamless process, with support at every stage from the supply of compliance documentation through to final sign-off.
