Fairway Elevator's ownership team brings more than 75 years of combined experience installing commercial elevator systems across a wide range of industries and building types. Over the years, we've seen what works well and what causes problems later for building owners. That experience shapes how we approach every project.
Unfortunately, many elevator companies have damaged the industry's reputation through poor communication, inflexible service contracts, and the use of proprietary equipment that locks building owners into expensive long-term agreements. At Fairway Elevator, we believe there's a better way.
Our philosophy is simple. Treat customers fairly and build partnerships that last for the life of the equipment.
We focus on transparent communication, fair business practices, and non-proprietary equipment solutions that give building owners flexibility and control over their elevators for decades to come.
Today, Fairway installs nearly 100 new commercial elevators each year across Georgia and the Southeast, serving schools, hospitals, office buildings, and many other commercial facilities. Our goal is to support our customers from concept and design through installation, inspection, and long-term maintenance.
When you work with Fairway Elevator, you're not just hiring an installer, you're gaining a long-term partner.

A quick reference for choosing between the two most common commercial elevator systems.
| Feature | Hydraulic | Traction |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | 2 to 4 stories | Mid-rise and high-rise |
| Travel height | Up to about 50 feet | 50 feet and above |
| Speed | 100 to 150 fpm | 200 to 500 plus fpm |
| Initial cost | Lower | Higher |
| Energy use | Higher | Lower |
| Machine room | Standard, or MRL available | Required, or MRL available |
| Ride quality | Smooth, with brief pause at floors | Smoother and faster acceleration |
Hydraulic elevators remain the workhorse of the low-rise elevator market in North America. After designing and installing thousands of hydraulic systems, we continue to recommend them for many 2 to 4 story buildings where reliability and cost-efficiency are key priorities.
