Cabs

Columbia Elevator offers the independent contractor and design professional an extraordinary selection of cabs to address any situation. Our computer numerically controlled machinery is used in the manufacture of all types of cabs. Even our wood core cabs are manufactured this way, using a six-axis table router. Cabs are first rendered, and in essence, "virtually manufactured," in cyber space via our proprietary CAD (Computer Aided Design) system for design and quality review. Upon final engineering approval, all CAD data is then transferred to our CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) system for generation of code used in the operation of numerically controlled machinery.

Columbia's commercial passenger cab line offers an unlimited variety of aesthetic features for use in office complexes, apartment buildings, hospitals, etc. Whether the cab is manufactured using a steel shell, wood core or steel shell with hanging panels, the building owner can rest assured that the product will bear a UL label certifying code compliance.

Contractors engaged in new construction may use any of Columbia's cab designs; those engaged in modernization are benefited by the use of our patented InstaFast ™ technology. Cab wall and/or ceiling panels incorporating our "boltless" InstaFast joining system are light weight and modular, fitting easily through existing hoistway door openings. This allows for the quick and easy assembly of the cab inside an existing shaft without any need for opening the building's corridor walls. InstaFast may be used in the assembly of any steel shell or hanging panel model.
