Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Elevator Innovations with Ziehl-Abegg: Elastomeric-Coated Ropes
Q: Who should consider adopting this technology, and how should they start the conversation with authorities?
Independent elevator companies can now bid on projects previously dominated by larger players due to the compact machine design and non-proprietary rope system. Start by engaging with AHJs early, share documentation, and align with local regulatory approvals to smooth the path for adoption.
Elevator Innovations with Ziehl-Abegg: Elastomeric-Coated Ropes
Q: How does this technology impact modernization projects, especially regarding rope drop and deflector sheaths?
Because the coated ropes have a higher friction coefficient, you can use smaller ropes with less aggressive groove profiles and still maintain necessary traction, reducing the need for extensive deflector sheath work and enabling easier, faster, and more cost-effective modernization.
Elevator Innovations with Ziehl-Abegg: Elastomeric-Coated Ropes
Q: What makes elastomeric coated ropes different from traditional steel ropes, and why is the timing right for North American markets?
The elastomeric coated ropes create higher friction and a more forgiving contact with the drum, allowing a smaller traction sheath diameter and lower torque. This enables more compact machines, lower energy consumption, and easier modernization, which aligns with the current market demand for space efficiency and lifecycle cost reductions in North America.
How a Former Teacher Found Success in the Elevator Industry | Sarah Trujillo
Q: How did your background in education help you implement and roll out the new software system within the company?
My teaching background helped me create diagrams and processes, explain complex concepts, and train colleagues; I used that experience to translate business needs into a usable system, which made onboarding and adoption smoother for non-technical staff.
How a Former Teacher Found Success in the Elevator Industry | Sarah Trujillo
Q: What is the biggest lesson you learned, and what advice would you give to someone transitioning from teaching into elevators?
The biggest lesson is to never stop learning because technology and processes in the elevator industry change daily; continue educating yourself and expanding your network, since relationships often come back as future opportunities.
