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.
