As an elevator distributor, you know this business is far more than just selling elevators. Its core lies in providing reliable solutions for your customers. Only by creating unique and meticulous products and services can you retain clients. This not only demonstrates your professionalism but also helps build a better brand image.
But the real challenge lies in:
When all suppliers claim to offer “high quality” and “best prices,” how do you select the right elevator supplier?
With over 20 years of experience in elevator manufacturing and sales, we’ve summarized some practical tips for choosing reliable suppliers to help you find the one best suited to your needs.
Price is crucial – but not everything.
Pricing includes both explicit and implicit costs.
Some suppliers offer seemingly low prices, but deliver products riddled with problems – poor car materials, missing parts, messy packaging, and inadequate after-sales service. While they may appear to save you money, they can actually cause greater losses due to project delays and customer complaints.
Stable pricing, professional service, and error-free delivery are the keys to long-term profitability.
A reliable elevator supplier must possess cutting-edge technology. This includes permanent magnet synchronous gearless traction machines, Japanese elevator door systems, energy recovery, and intelligent control systems. Furthermore, it must hold full certification to international standards EN81-20, EN81-50, and CE.
For distributors, delivery isn’t the end—it’s often just the beginning.
Projects inevitably encounter challenges: you may need remote technical assistance or even on-site support. A reliable supplier should be on standby like your “backend tech team,” not merely a production factory.
Compact machine rooms and narrow shafts—these are common challenges in overseas construction. Most companies hesitate to take on non-standard projects due to time constraints and technical limitations.
