Ask us a question
How do I know Hosting is a real elevator company with its own factory?
You can review the factory photos on this page and request a factory video tour, company information and relevant certificates. Hosting designs, manufactures and tests elevators in its own factory. Buyers can communicate directly with the company about product specifications, production arrangements and export requirements before placing an order.
What documents are needed to import elevators from China into Turkmenistan?
Importers should prepare the sales contract, commercial invoice, packing list, transport documents, certificate of origin, and the manufacturer's quality and technical documents. Depending on the applicable import and conformity procedures, a certificate of conformity issued or recognized by the relevant Turkmen authority may also be required. Turkmenistan's import procedures can involve contract registration and customs documentation, so buyers should confirm the current requirements with their customs broker before production or shipment. Ask Hosting to prepare the product specifications, technical drawings, and available factory certificates early to reduce document delays.
Can Hosting supply elevators for residential and commercial buildings in Turkmenistan?
Yes. Hosting's product range includes passenger elevators, machine-room-less (MRL) elevators, hospital elevators, panoramic elevators, freight elevators, and home elevators. Its passenger elevator range includes customized capacities from approximately 400 kg to 2,500 kg, while project specifications can be adjusted according to building height, number of floors, rated speed, and shaft dimensions. Buyers in Ashgabat and other cities should provide architectural drawings and building requirements so Hosting can recommend a suitable configuration rather than quoting a standard model that may not fit the project.
How can I avoid delays when ordering replacement parts for a Chinese elevator in Turkmenistan?
Request a spare-parts list before shipment, including part numbers and recommended quantities for door rollers, door sensors, push buttons, contactors, inverter components, and control-system parts. For each elevator, keep its wiring diagram, controller model, software version, and component identification records. A practical approach is to agree on a starter spare-parts package for the first 12–24 months of operation, based on the equipment configuration and expected usage. This is especially important when replacement parts must be shipped internationally rather than purchased from a local distributor.
What after-sales support can Hosting provide if an elevator develops a fault in Turkmenistan?
Hosting provides factory technical support and has an international agent network, but buyers should confirm whether on-site service is available in Turkmenistan before signing the contract. Ask for the warranty period, the response procedure for breakdowns, remote troubleshooting arrangements, spare-parts dispatch terms, and whether local technicians can receive installation and maintenance guidance. The handover package should include operation and maintenance manuals, wiring diagrams, fault-code references, and a list of critical spare parts. Do not assume that a factory warranty automatically includes free international travel or local labor costs.
Can Hosting provide hospital elevators for transporting beds and medical equipment?
Yes. Hosting's hospital elevator range includes rated loads of 1,600–2,000 kg, with a standard 1,800 kg configuration and capacity for up to 20 persons. The listed specifications include speeds of 1.0 m/s and 1.5 m/s, an automatic rescue device, and a full-height infrared light curtain. Cabin dimensions and door openings should be checked against the hospital's actual bed, stretcher, and medical equipment sizes before ordering. For a hospital project in Turkmenistan, also confirm local fire-safety, hygiene, emergency-operation, and inspection requirements during the design stage.
How long does it take to manufacture and ship an elevator from China to Turkmenistan?
Hosting lists a typical manufacturing lead time of approximately 4–8 weeks after the technical drawings are approved and production is released, although customized configurations may take longer. International shipping, customs clearance, document verification, and local site preparation must be added to this period. To avoid delaying the project, approve the shaft drawings and cabin specifications before production, confirm the export document list with your customs broker, and prepare the elevator shaft and electrical supply while the equipment is being manufactured. Request a written schedule showing production, inspection, dispatch, and estimated delivery milestones.
