A Look Back on Buckley’s Best Elevator Projects

October 20, 2024

While Buckley Elevator is continuing to look at new advancements in elevator technology and how to better improve services, it’s important to look back on all the accomplishments of the past. 

Implementing a Glass Traction Elevator at Restoration Hardware

When Restoration Hardware was looking for a glass traction elevator, that matched the aesthetics of the Bradbury building in Los Angeles, Buckley was up for the challenge. The company wanted the elevator to go up through the floors, almost operating as the building’s life cord. Buckley Elevator created a glass traction elevator that is gorgeous to the naked eye but also carries potential customers safely through the different floors. This elevator gives customers the chance to look at luxury home furnishings before they even enter the floor.  

Modernizing a 50-Year-Old Elevator at B.R. O’Connor Company

Braintree, MA property management company B.R. O’Connor Company wanted to modernize their 50-year-old elevator for both safety and aesthetic reasons. B.R. O’Connor’s office building is five stories high, and the updated elevator needed to be constructed in compliance with Massachusetts standards. Buckley Elevator dismantled the old elevator and built the new one on schedule. In a testimonial with B.R. O’Connor Company, they said, “The crew that was assigned to this project was very easy to work with. They handle every stage of the project professionally.”

Maintenance Work at Stop & Shop

Buckley Elevator handles all maintenance work for 100 elevators at Stop & Shops across Massachusetts. Whether customers need to use the elevator for accessibility reasons or workers need to carry items like produce down to the main floor, these elevators need to operate safely and efficiently. Buckley Elevator continues to provide work on these elevators whether it’s through routine maintenance, testing, or repair work. This kind of maintenance work includes all elements of the elevator from inside the car, outside the car, in the machine room (if there is one), on top of the car, or in the pit.

Modernization of Middlesex Community College Hydraulic Elevator

Within the Derby Building of Middlesex Community College, Buckley Elevator modernized their hydraulic passenger elevator. Students, teachers, and other passengers need to be able to get from floor to floor easily and safely. Buckley Elevator modernized its elevator so that the new updated hydraulic elevator would not only ride smoothly but also look nice for those traveling on it. 

Modernization of First Hartford Realty Corporation Elevators

The First Hartford Realty Corporation needed to modernize its elevators so that the company could reduce downtime and repair costs and improve safety and rider experience. Buckley Elevator fully modernized nine traction elevators with 13 stops.  

Full Modernization of Elevators at Veterans Administration Hospital

The Bedford VA Administration Hospital needed to modernize its three passenger elevators. While these elevators initially operated as geared traction elevators, Buckley Elevator converted them into gearless traction elevators. This modernization helps Bedford VA hospital become more energy efficient which will also help them save money.
