Established by Tom Ross in 1969, Ross Elevator has continued to be a reliable and technically capable independent elevator company in the Cleveland and Akron markets under the ongoing guidance of Tom's son, Jim. For more than a half century, many Ohio customers have relied upon Ross Elevator for the expertise and commitment to customer service that has kept their elevators running safely and smoothly. All field technicians at Ross Elevator have been offered employment with the combined operations while Jim embarks on a well-deserved retirement.

 

"The decision to sell our family business was difficult and, at times, emotional, but the consistent professional support from Jessica and Jeff was critical. They helped me to secure better dollars and better terms while minimizing the stress of the difficult process of selling a business."

Between February of 2020 and July of 2021, Lift has advised on the successful sale of 16 elevator businesses to nine different acquiring companies.
