Navigating Elevators: Passion Fueling Vertical Transportation
About
Elevator Writer
Hi, I'm Jackie Herrera, aka Elevator Writer.
After 18 rewarding years in the vertical transportation industry—primarily in sales and marketing—I've witnessed (and yes, you could say I've ridden) the ups and downs of this ever-changing elevator world.
Throughout my career, I've dedicated myself to listening and learning from the most important people in this industry: you, the customers. I've heard your concerns, fears, and questions about elevator needs, maintenance, contracts, repairs, and everything in between.
Now, as the owner and founder of Mechanical Materials, I get to serve the elevator industry in an exciting new way—providing high-quality parts, turnkey solutions, remote monitoring, and more to help clients and fellow professionals keep buildings moving safely and efficiently. It's a privilege to support both our direct clients and the broader vertical transportation community.
This blog exists for one main reason: to help property owners, managers, and decision-makers make well-informed choices about their elevator service, contracts, and long-term strategies—without the jargon or sales pressure.
Whether you're dealing with a tricky maintenance agreement, planning an upgrade, or just want straightforward answers about vertical transportation, this space is for you.
