Palestine Company for Elevators
Palestine Elevators Company is a company that is being established with the aim of manufacturing, assembling and installing modern elevators that mainly serve people with mobility disabilities.
Making a prototype of the product was key to adopting the idea, as we had a wide knowledge of people with disabilities about the needs that must be met in elevators for people with disabilities (safety means, ease of access and use, available around the clock, cheap in price, few breakdowns, it can be installed without infrastructure or founding).
Our team noted the marginalization of people with mobility needs, and worked to provide an accessible elevator to meet those needs.
