October 26, 2021 – Last week we were fortunate to host a leading manufacturer of hydraulic elevator control valves. Maxton Manufacturing Company, based in Minden, NV, has been a pioneer in lightweight aluminum valves and components for several generations. The company has become the largest single producer of hydraulic elevator control valves, in part, due their state-of-the-art equipment and facilities.

Having one of the premier industry vendors provide firsthand training was an invaluable resource to our technicians. Roughly 85% of Colley’s hydraulic elevator portfolio contains a Maxton valve. The training, which involved a two-hour presentation and two hours of hands-on elevator repair troubleshooting, enabled each mechanic to receive continuing education credit.

“One of our company’s strengths has been a focus on our mechanics. Providing them with continuing education resources enables them to improve their skill set,” says Craig Zomchek, Managing Partner, “Maxton’s hydraulic valves are an iconic brand in the elevator industry and we welcomed the opportunity to become educated on their products so we can better install, maintain and troubleshoot them for our customers”.
