Hydraulic Freight Elevator Modernization

Over the last 3 years we have been fortunate enough to have been working with the USPS on freight elevator modernization.  This project was chopped up into 3 phases.  The first phase was awarded to a different company but Colley completed phase II & III.  Here are some pictures of elevator #2 after all three phases have been completed.

  [New Courion control system]

The elevator control systems where installed by Automatic Elevator using Maida elevator controllers and Harris Prebble automatic freight doors.  We replaced the system with a Motion Control Engineering elevator controller and Courion automatic freight doors.

The elevator’s hydraulic power unit was initial fabricated by Quality Elevator, Niles, IL and replaced with a Delaware Elevator unit.  A Maxton valve was utilized.
