Modernization Journey - Week 3

Elevator Modernization
Written By Sean McMannis

Week three is in the books. If you missed our previous weeks, you can catch them here:

Let’s see what Jon and Zach were up to this week...

This week they focused on the car top and door operator. They also hung the traveling cable and started wiring the controller. By the end of the week, the elevator was running on construction mode with a temporary run bug (AKA pennant station)

BEFORE - GAL door operator.

AFTER - Shiny new GAL MOVFR II door operator

New door operator, clutch, linkage, gate switch and hanger rollers. Not pictured - new door gibs and fire tabs.

New traveling cable and wiring.

Great work Jon and Zach! Check back in next week to see their progress.

There is nothing that Sean enjoys more than helping a customer solve an elevator issue. Since 2008, he has witnessed a deterioration in the services provided throughout the industry. Sean prides himself on being responsive and honest. He takes the time to educate elevator owners and help them understand their options. After spending time at various elevator companies, Sean joined Washington Elevator because he believes building owners and managers crave a company focused on people, not profits.

With more than 15 years of elevator experience, Sean’s goal is to proactively address all elevator issues so that you can focus on your business.

When Sean isn’t helping customers, you can find him playing on the soccer field, cheering on the Sounders and enjoying activities with his wife and their two young kids.
