As part of our extensive experience in the elevator business, the Kirkwoods owned and operated a successful company in the lower mainland, manufacturing and installing elevating devices from 1971 to 1991. In 1991, they sold the manufacturing company to Ontario –based company, Concord Elevators Inc., which has since become Savaria Concord Lifts.
All of our equipment is non-proprietary, which means that once an elevator/lift is installed, any licensed elevator-contractor can service it – you are not “locked into” a service-contract with any one contractor.
At Kirkwood Elevators, we have the freedom to search the world market to find the equipment that exactly fits your needs, and we are not locked into the products of any sole manufacturer. During the past 40 years, we have installed units from the simplest of stairway lifts to the most gorgeous custom units. Among our client list, you will find such well-known names as Bryan Adams, Peter Toigo, Mr. & Mrs. Griffiths, and Mr. & Mrs. Illich to name but a few. Should you feel that you would prefer more personal references, we would be most pleased to provide you with the names of several clients for whom we have supplied recent and local installations.

Kirkwood Elevators is a family-owned and operated business located in the central Okanagan. We have been actively involved in the elevator industry since 1971 and have participated in various CSA code committees which are responsible for writing the standards for manufacture and installation of elevating devices. Until moving to Peachland, I was a member of the Elevator Safety Advisory Committee for the province of British Columbia as well as a member of the appeals board. I have since been reappointed to the Safety Advisory Board. Unlike many other elevator providers in the region, our company is licensed and registered with the provincial authorities for elevating devices in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, the Yukon, and the N.W.T. In addition to these licenses, we also hold elevator mechanic licenses for Ontario as well as the states of Washington and Oregon. These licenses act to ensure that we perform each and every installation to the highest standards of safety and quality
