Thank you for considering utilizing the services of Hawaii Vertical Transportation, Inc. (“HVT”). It is with the greatest pride that we introduce you to our company.

Quality & Reliability

Hawaii Vertical Transportation is committed to delivering reliable, accountable and reasonably priced elevator service our Hawaii business community deserves. More than anything else, HVT was created out of a fundamental concern – your concern and our concern – with the inefficiency and high cost of delivering quality elevator and escalator service to our community. We have every intention of leading Hawaii’s elevator industry in reliability and satisfied customers. We demand excellence, attention to detail, and responsiveness of our mechanics, customer service representatives and employees, and we are accountable for our work in your building because we believe good, diligent workmanship is a “win-win” situation for you and our company.

The equipment and parts we install are of the highest quality, and we have access to the newest, state-of-the-art technology, but our business philosophy is to think “outside the box” of the traditional elevator industry. This means that we will look for ways to save you money while maintaining the highest standards of safety, efficiency and convenience. For instance, unlike any other elevator company in Hawaii, we are committed to using and installing only “non-proprietary” equipment. This means that you and your building will not be forced to limit service and repair options to the same company that installed your equipment. Our goal is to eventually give all our customers greater latitude in negotiating their elevator and repair agreements.

Also, HVT will perform maintenance on a “Frequency” basis, ensuring your building’s elevators will be inspected and serviced at regular, frequent intervals. Almost all other elevator companies in Hawaii currently provide service on a “Usage” basis (service is triggered when a meter records a specified number of elevator trips). The result of “Usage” based service is that elevators with relatively light usage may go unserviced for long periods of time. HVT’s service program will ensure regular maintenance even if usage is relatively light.

Resources & Experience

We are the #1 locally owned and operated elevator company in the State of Hawaii. This means local accountability, intimate knowledge of the local building and building management industry, and most important, contract pricing that is unburdened by high mainland overhead costs.

One of HVT’s main business strengths is that it does not have to pay huge corporate administrative charges to mainland or regional headquarters. This is a tremendous advantage for our customers in the Hawaii marketplace. When comparing pricing by HVT and its competitors, you will notice that pricing by HVT’s competitors is often higher by double digit percentages. These higher prices are not a reflection of higher quality service or greater skill. Labor, parts and even local administration costs are basically the same for all elevator companies in Hawaii. The excess sums quoted by HVT’s competitors pay for high priced mainland executives, large, inefficient corporate infrastructure, and happy stockholders. Without the burden of supporting such large corporate structures, HVT is able to deliver high quality service at prices that our competitors simply cannot match.

HVT possesses all of the resources of its mainland counterparts. We are fully insured and bondable and we maintain full inventories of the parts and supplies necessary to provide excellent service and repairs. Also, we bring 25 years of experience in the elevator industry to each job. However, since HVT does not have to send its revenues to cover unrelated corporate overhead items, our customers enjoy lower pricing without having to settle for inferior service.

HVT’s 25 years of experience at all levels of the Hawaii elevator industry also ensures real accountability and the best quality service for our customers. Decisions about how to service Hawaii’s vertical transportation needs are made here in Hawaii, by people who live and work in Hawaii. Our RME, Michael Tomihara, has managed top ranked elevator companies in the State of Hawaii and has developed an unparalleled reputation for quality and effectiveness in the industry. Our managers and supervisors are hand picked from among the best personnel in the Hawaii elevator industry, and because of our experience and professionalism, top elevator mechanics are waiting in the wings to join HVT as the company grows. HVT prides itself on its ability and commitment to provide customers with the most competent, qualified and well-trained personnel available.

A Hawaii Company

Most of all, HVT is a Hawaii company. We provide more personalized service because this is our home. Our company revenues stay in Hawaii, and our management and staff are instilled with a sense of personal responsibility to our community.

We at HVT are excited about the opportunities for revolutionizing Hawaii’s elevator industry for the better. It would be our privilege to assist you with any of your vertical transportation needs.
