Frequently Asked Questions

Do you install machine-room-less (MRL) elevators?
Yes, MRL elevators eliminate the need for a dedicated machine room by housing drive components within the hoistway. They are a space-efficient solution for both new construction and elevator modernization projects , and Mid-American has extensive experience with MRL installations across commercial and industrial settings.

How long does a new elevator installation take?
Installation timelines vary depending on the elevator type, building conditions, and project complexity. A standard commercial elevator installation typically takes several months from contract to completion, factoring in design, permitting, manufacturing, installation, and ongoing elevator maintenance . Our project management team provides a detailed schedule during the submittal process so you understand the expected timeline and milestones throughout the project.

Do you provide design and engineering services?
Yes, our in-house engineering team handles complete design, traffic analysis, code compliance, and custom elevator installations for every installation project. From initial planning through final testing and commissioning, we manage the entire engineering process.

What certifications do your installers hold?
All supervisors hold OSHA 30-hour certification at minimum, while field technicians hold OSHA 10-hour certification. Our teams also complete elevator industry-specific training plus site-specific safety programs for industrial environments.
