Home Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Twin Post Pricing

Hi

Who is the best priced twin post manufacture?

Just the jacks or a whole elevator package?

Jack Sling Platform

Canton I would say

Canton has a nice set up

2-stop?

I'm not sure on pricing. But if it's a two stop, canton makes their own jacks in house. The blue ones. IMO the best jacks in the industry. But only for 2 stops, they buy ECO telescopic after that. Reason I mention is I'd think them making their own jacks would keep the cost down too.

5 stop
49’ 2” travel
Looking for roped hydro

Canton makes those too. A little labor intensive Install. Good equipment though. I'd prefer an inground over one of those

I would prefer an in ground also. But drilling for an in ground cost 40k. Then you still have to buy and install the jack

Just did a quick quote on Alliance Elevator Solutions website. 3-stage twin post jacks and sling/platform with buffers. $38,315.98

The company I work for just did a talk roped hydro like that. It came out nice.

What are your thoughts on telescopic vs roped twin post ?

They both suck to do packings on in the future. Roped hydros have safeties so they need more indepth 5 year testing, they take longer to install cuz the extra guide rails for the rames head, but they typically ride nice and are very smooth. Telescopic jacks are typically quicker on the install but if you're out of plumb on the install you end up with multiple packings wearing out and leaking... Im sure I'm missing some other points on each but you could make a good argument for either
