WHY CHOOSE A POWERGLIDE RESIDENTIAL ELEVATOR
WORK WITH OUR DESIGN SERVICE
Powerglide offer a full design service that provides compliance documentation for each and every lift we manufacture. We’ll supply everything you need, including CAD Drawings and DWG files to a standard we know is accepted by all NZ Building Consent authorities. Our team has extensive experience working with builders and architects on residential projects throughout New Zealand, from the simple to the wildly ambitious. You’ll have the reassurance of knowing you can draw on their expert knowledge at any stage of the project.
Our inhouse designers provide CAD drawings & DWG files for all lifts
LEAD-TIMES FROM ONLY 4 WEEKS + MORE FLEXIBILITY
Powerglide manufacture locally so we are able to keep lead times to a minimum. Our full design and manufacture process can take as little as 4 weeks, significantly less than imported elevators that can take upwards of 30 weeks. We can also accommodate unexpected changes to design, something that’s not possible once an imported lift has been ordered.
NZ MADE / NZ OWNED - BUY LOCAL AND AVOID SUPPLY CHAIN PROBLEMS
Powerglide source around 85% of our componentry from NZ suppliers, so by buying a Powerglide Elevator you don’t just support us, you also support the 50+ local businesses that are part of our supply chain. Having a New Zealand based supply chain also significantly reduces the risk of delays that can be caused by compromised international supply chains for imported lifts and componentry.
MINIMISE DISRUPTIONS WITH FAST, EFFICIENT INSTALLATION
Whether you’re building new or renovating, we understand the importance of minimising disruptions on site. To streamline the process, all our installations are handled by factory trained technicians, who work with you to identify potential pressure points before they become a problem. The entire installation process typically takes 1 week, significantly less than the industry standard of up to 4 weeks.
SAVE ON OPERATING COSTS
Powerglide Elevators are also guaranteed maintenance and service free for at least 5 years, delivering significant savings year on year. It also avoids the hassle of arranging regular servicing and avoids increases in body corporate fees in an apartment environment. Our remote monitoring system helps to minimise service call-outs
