50 W e d n e sd a y, Fe b ru a ry 5 , 2 0 1 4 HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE REST Since 1986, Residential Elevators has been in the home elevator business. For 28 years, it has been devoted entirely to producing a superior product for a specific market (i.e., elevators for single family homes). The results of that long term dedication are customized, quality elevators at affordable prices. There are two models. The LLH950 is a hydraulic design which needs less overhead clearance in the hoistway. The other series, LLT-950, is a traction elevator best known for being machine room-less, saving valuable square footage. The manufacturing plant is located less than 10 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, so Residential Elevators is familiar with harsh weath- er and created a product to withstand the elements. The cabs are made of architectural cabinet grade material and solid hardwood trim available in a variety of wood species. There are several designs, each handcrafted to order. With the numerous accessories and options, it would be impossible not to find the right style to meet a client's needs. Handrail, light fixture and hall station accessories – to name a few – come in several finishes such as stainless, brushed, antiqued and hardwood. For those with a lovely view, the observation glass window option is a must. The possibilities are endless. Residential Elevators does not just deliver a pretty product.

We have one manufacturing facility in Appleton, Wis., where we produce and assemble all of our products. CM: What would you say makes your company unique? RR: Our people and our dedication to quality. All of our units are manufactured to the latest Elevator Safety Code [A17.1-2013]. The average length of employment for employees within our company is over six years. That commitment means they care about each other, the company and our dealers. We are a Medi-Rub (Cont'd. from p. 1) impressive high technology motor makes customers notice the "calmness effect" when the massager is applied to their body. We in turn notice the improvement in customer's energy. The energy centers itself deep inside your body, stimulating the blood flow in the underlying tissue, your muscles, tendons and ligaments. The Medi-Rub massagers, operating at 3700 rpm, will do what no human can – customers will drag themselves in with all the strength they have left, and walk away with a spring in their step. The results and effects of Medi-Rub demonstrations are immediate. With stimulated blood flow, your body gets the oxygen and nutrient rich blood it needs to base paint coats, precision wood grain prints and melamine top layer (five coats total) provide a durable, lush finish perfect for use on Hufcor movable panel partitions. The wood grains are beautiful and look just like real wood. RG Designer faces combine ½-inch medium density fiberboard (MDF) with a privately owned company. To us, business is very personal. We appreciate every customer and each sale means a great deal to us. CM: Are you introducing any new products? RR: Yes. We have a new digital position indicator that gives the homeowner a visual display of which floor the elevator is at. We have also added LED lights to our cab; both of these items are on display in our booth [C7913]. CM: What is the nature of your distribution? RR: We have a network of authorized dealers throughout the country, so no matter where a builder, an architect or the end heal as quickly and completely as possible. Imagine, if you can, bringing trillions of cells in your body to life. Giving the body oxygen is the main focus of Medi-Rub massagers. What makes Medi-Rub unique is that we bring the product to the people, let them try it and experience the results firsthand. The customer has a chance to realize that Medi-Rub massagers are a great service to the employees in their company, as well as for themselves. This human need to survive the body's ordeals proves to us that when it comes to our body, we are very vulnerable individuals. We all experience a lot of pain, stress and fatigue.

This includes a sophisticated PLC (programmable logic controller) to ensure safety and dependability. It utilizes the same advanced technology as the automotive and manufacturing precision industries. Safety is the most important aspect of any elevator, which is why Residential Elevators has implemented several layers to safeguard their passengers. In the event there is a power outage, the elevator automatically lowers to the next landing to allow passengers to exit safely. Another safety feature is the door lock system. The door and gate must be closed securely in order for it to move. The Photo Electric Landing System ensures floor leveling accuracy and relays the information to the main control system. There is also an Infrared Protection option with over 200 infrared beams. The elevator will immediately stop if any beam is disrupted. Residential Elevators believes each day is an opportunity to learn something new and use that information to improve. It applies experience, technology and ingenuity to provide products and services that are head and shoulders above the rest. custom rotogravure paint process.

CM: Who are your target end-users? RR: For elevators, anyone who owns a home and wants to stay in that home for their whole life. It might be for health reasons, mobility issues or just long-term planning. For dumbwaiters in homes, it makes it easier to move material to different floors. Things like grocery bags, laundry baskets, dishes, firewood, etc. can all be moved with ease. In a commercial setting, our most common application is for moving dishes at restaurants. They are also used for moving files in an office or for lab work at clinics and hospitals. CM: To what do you contribute your company's success? reduce fatigue symptoms.
