Modular Elevators, The Right Choice for your Project

modular elevatorModular Elevator Manufacturing, Inc. (MEM), a sister company to T.L. Shield & Associates, Inc., designs and manufactures ready-to-use modular elevators for two-to-seven-story exterior applications in new and existing construction projects. MEM elevators enable virtually any kind of facility to achieve and/or improve accessibility and meet ADA compliance while saving time and money.

Experience Counts
From its experience in supplying and installing all types of conveyance products, T.L. Shield & Associates introduced the modular elevator to the construction market in 1997. After approval by the Division of the State Architect in California and much success in the educational market, the company expanded and formed MEM in 2004.

MEM Elevator Components
MEM elevators are made from nonproprietary, high-quality components. They feature state of the art digital controls, fully equipped steel cars and fully pre-assembled towers constructed from welded tubular steel, powered by hydraulic holeless, in-ground jacks, or machine-room-less technology.

Factory Installed Elevators
MEM's factory pre-installed modular elevators are built in a freestanding, rated or non-rated structural steel elevator tower. Before installation, an elevator pit is prepared with anchor bolt imbeds to ensure precise placement. The elevator is then delivered to the job site on a flatbed truck, picked up with a crane, set in place and anchored. It can be fully operational just two days after delivery. Aesthetically, they can be customized and designed to fit in with the existing structure.

Pre-Engineered Elevators Save Time and Money
MEM's fully operational elevator system greatly minimizes design and engineering costs. Priced below conventional elevator systems, it installs in one day and requires very little maintenance.

MEM is committed to providing the highest-quality products coupled with superior customer service to meet your needs. Whether it's a new or retrofit project, MEM works with architects and contractors from start to finish to design and install modular elevators that serve both the look and the purpose of the space.
