What we do

Legacy Elevator Consulting assesses the equipment. Traction and drum machines, drive sheaves, sheave assemblies, worm & gear sets, and the general mechanical condition of the machine room and hoistway. Whether the equipment is viable, what work it actually needs, and whether the recommendation on the table matches the machine's condition, Legacy Elevator Consulting provides the evaluation and analysis to root those decisions in fact and expertise.

An aging machine has plenty to say about what it needs next. Our job is to read it, and to put what it says in plain language.

How we know

Expertise decides what gets measured.
The evidence comes back and sharpens the expertise.

Expertise

Carlos Escobar, Founder, Legacy Elevator Consulting

  • Nearly three decades in the repair and manufacture of the equipment itself.
  • President of Titan Machine Corp, a traction machine repair facility founded in 1973, through its acquisition.
  • Board of the Massachusetts Elevator Safety Association. Technical sessions at the NAEC, the IAEC, and NAESA International.
  • He has seen, up close, what poor maintenance and poor repairs do to a machine, and what one looks like when it has been kept right.

  • One framework, used consistently; each rating carries a required action and a timeframe.
  • Findings grounded in the technical and/or governing standards where they apply.
  • No OEM data, no maintenance history, and no baseline measurements required.
  • Field data retained per asset: a return visit produces trend data, not a second first look.
