E-SERIES elevators: customised

Our E-Series packages provide a starting point to design your dream, including our high-quality componentry, hydraulic drive system, and our industry-leading Design Support Programme.

Our Commercial E-Series package also includes all the necessary accessories and features to comply with all commercial requirements.

Purchasing our E-Series package provides the reassurance of knowing all the basics are taken care of, so we can focus on bringing your vision to life - with as much, or as little, customisation as you need.

We use our standard E-Series package price as the starting point for your project and you may find this price helpful as an indicative baseline before we begin. Once we’ve received your brief we design and price your elevator entirely to spec. Pricing will reflect the level of customisation and complexity.

 

“I made a shortlist of a number of different suppliers and Powerglide were the only ones who could do what we wanted. The draw to Powerglide was their ability to customise. If you buy overseas elevators the sizes are a big limitation. We did also look at other New Zealand products, but they didn’t have the functionality and customisation”.
Ross Newman | Owner of Barochan

STYLING

 

the only limitation is your imagination

With an E-Series Elevator your decor and accessories can be personalised to your exact requirements. Some of our most memorable designs include a rimu-lined period piece with chandalier and bud-vase, a circular steam-punk elevator with mesh walls, and a bespoke glass elevator that formed the centre-piece for one of NZ’s most awarded homes. A recent project involved designing a poured concrete lift-shaft for another multi-award-winning home.

SUPPORT

industry-leading design & build service

Powerglide offers an integrated DESIGN-BUILD-INSTALL service that means you can relax and know we have you covered, every step of the way. This includes working with your architect with best-practice advice to streamline the design and consent process and avoid some of the common design traps.

  • DESIGN - we supply all compliance documentation including project-specific CAD drawings and instructional videos, to a level accepted by all NZ Building Authorities.

  • BUILD - your elevator is built to spec in our Tauranga factory. We undertake an on-site measure prior to starting the build to minimise any risk of discrepancies. We’ll also liaise directly with your builder and architect to resolve any queries that may arise during the process.

  • INSTALLATION - is managed by our experienced in-house team, with an install time of around 1 week.

“They provided the concept and the design early on. Their documentation was so good that the architect, McKinney + Windeatt, was able to incorporate the lift into their plans, and the design document was sufficient for all the different trades to work off.”

Ross Newman, owner of Barochan

“Powerglide’s pre-installation specifications were easy to follow. It was a highly technical design, and the methodology had to be well thought out, explained, and clear to follow. Powerglide met that brief. ”

Bill Hamilton, W Hamilton Building
