About Us

    About EES Vertical Transportation

    Over 17 years of engineering expertise, trusted by leading lift companies and facilities managers across the UK. We work exclusively with lift and escalator service contractors. We do not provide services directly to building owners or the public. Founded and based in Middleton, Greater Manchester.

    The Complete Service to Industry since 2009.

    EES Vertical Transportation Engineering Support Ltd has its roots in Elevated Engineering Services NW LTD, founded in 2009 to deliver comprehensive engineering services from our base in Middleton, Greater Manchester. Over 17 years we built a reputation as a trusted engineering partner across the North West and beyond: completing hundreds of suspension rope and belt changes, overhauling lift machines and gearboxes, and becoming an approved supplier to major national lift companies.

    Continuing a 17-Year Legacy.

    Built to deliver high-quality, professional engineering support, our client base grew to include major blue-chip lift companies both locally and nationally. In February 2026, the business restructured under EES Group Holdings Limited, establishing EES Vertical Transportation Engineering Support Ltd as a dedicated, trade-only subsidiary focused entirely on the lift industry. We carry that reputation forward with a dedicated focus on vertical transportation. The values, safety standards, and engineering excellence that defined our founding remain at the core of everything we do.
    Trade-Only Engineering Support

    EES Vertical Transportation supports lift service providers with re-roping and re-belting, sheave repair, lift machine mechanical repair, and Type B and SAFed testing, bundled under controlled methods and one point of contact. We work exclusively with lift and escalator service contractors — providing the specialist resource they need to close jobs they can't fully resource in-house. Trade enquiries only. Based in Middleton, Greater Manchester, we provide trade-only lift and escalator engineering support to service providers across the UK.
