It is impossible to compete with them on the MRL Traction side. Schlindler is even cheaper. You can try Alliance elevator, but again it is not possible to compete with them.



I for one think the Kone is pretty solid and reliable. The KCM's we have, have been running solid for many years. Just like everything else they have their weak points. The Schlindler right now is good, but I feel like that 4000 trip meter is going to get us in the end. The Schlindler folks do push the ten year agreement,not to mention that if the building is sold and the new owner does not stay with Schlindler, then the original building owner is responsible for half of the remaining term.This is the world we live in. I am a little calmer about it, as I have already been through what you are going through now.

Good news, is there is enough work for all of us out there and the Non-Proprietary controller manufacturers are coming up with better ways to replace those controllers every day.
