With the economic growth in Iraq and the boom in construction, the purchase of elevators and escalators and the installation of elevators in public centers, hotels, administrative and residential buildings in this country increased. Then Iraq became one of the export destinations for Iranian elevator manufacturers and installers.
In this article, we will examine the issue of buying and the price of elevators in Iraq to address the challenges and opportunities facing economic actors in this field.
The rapid and increasing economic growth in Iraq has also led to the expansion of the elevator industry in Iraq, which is one of the construction sectors in this country. This is due to the need of people for safety and easy movement between different floors of administrative, commercial, and residential buildings.
This boom in the demand for and installation of elevators in Iraq has become an opportunity for international cooperation and business development.
The relative stability in the political situation in Iraq in recent decades, the increase in oil sales, the increase in foreign investment, and ultimately economic growth in this country have led to Iraq ranking second in the world in terms of economic growth percentage in 2022.
Economic growth has led to an increase in construction and development of the construction industry and urban development projects; and this has doubled the demand for buying elevators in Iraq and opened up a new market for elevator manufacturers and installers worldwide, especially neighboring countries of Iraq.
On the one hand, considering the 80-year history of the elevator industry in Iran and its fifth rank in the world in terms of elevator installation, as well as the engineering knowledge and high technical skills of Iranian engineers and technicians, which have led to the localization of more than 90% of the elevator industry in the country, there is a high capacity for exporting elevators to other countries. Therefore, Iraq, as one of the 15 destination countries for Iranian elevator exports, has attracted the attention of elevator parts manufacturers and Iranian elevator installers, and now Iranian companies, along with other foreign companies such as China, South Korea, and Turkey, have a strong presence in the Iraqi elevator market.
Given the remarkable economic growth of Iraq and its growth in the social and commercial sectors, purchasing elevators in Iraq has become a very important need in this country. As public centers, hotels, administrative and residential buildings are seeking to provide the best services to people, purchasing high-quality elevators in Iraq has become a vital and important issue. Iranian elevator companies, by offering the best elevators with unparalleled price and quality, are one of the most reliable choices for purchasing elevators in Iraq. This has led to the improvement of infrastructure and the creation of new business opportunities for international cooperation between the two countries.
Given the increasing demand for elevator purchases in Iraq, the price of elevators in Iraq is also continuously increasing. The price of elevators in Iraq is a very important issue in the process of purchasing and installing elevators in this country.
The elevator market in Iraq is influenced by various variable factors. These factors have a completely direct impact on the price of elevators in Iraq and their parts.
• Inflation rate
• Production costs
• Manufacturer's elevator production history
• High economic growth of the country
• High construction
It may also seem strange to you; but as we mentioned earlier, local elevator standards and regulations in Iraq play a special role in purchasing and pricing elevators in Iraq. Based on these laws and standards, the safety and proper performance of elevator equipment are guaranteed.
These laws and standards, which include installation, operation, and maintenance laws of elevators, are continuously upgraded. The implementation of these laws and standards is also based on local and global needs to maintain safety and quality standards in all stages of life.
Compliance with and implementation of these laws, in addition to increasing trust, leads to the prevention of accidents and security breaches.
Buying and the price of the elevator in Iraq has very important points that you must pay attention to. One of these points is the difference in the price and purchase of the elevator and elevator parts in Iraq, which we will discuss in the following article.
First of all, it is necessary to know this very important point that buying and the price of the elevator in Iraq does not mean buying and the price of elevator parts, because for choosing and buying elevator parts, you need engineering knowledge, design and assembly knowledge of the elevator, and familiarity with the performance and quality of parts and brands available in the market. Buying elevator equipment and parts in Iraq without considering the points mentioned above, in addition to the fact that it may lead to the purchase of inferior or counterfeit goods, is practically ineffective because due to the incompatibility of the purchased items with each other, the possibility of providing a high-quality elevator may not be provided. Only buy elevator parts in Iraq if you have previously contracted with a reputable elevator installer company for the installation and commissioning of the elevator, and only purchase items approved by that company after ensuring the quality, authenticity of the goods, and warranty and after-sales services. Although it is better to leave the responsibility of buying elevator parts to the elevator installer company itself so that instead of requesting warranty and after-sales services from different companies, the elevator installer company will be responsible for the warranty and after-sales services of all elevator equipment under the contract.
Before buying an elevator, it is necessary to examine the prerequisites for buying and the price of the elevator in Iraq. These prerequisites include the following.
• Local features where the elevator is to be installed
• Prerequisites for buying an elevator in Iraq
• Expected services from the elevator
• Differences between different elevators
• Most reputable elevator parts manufacturers
• Evaluation of elevator installer companies
Is the location where the elevator is to be installed a newly constructed building; but in old buildings, in addition to the general rules of elevator installation, it has other requirements that need further investigation. For example, the choice of the elevator installation location requires the examination of technical experts, in addition to which it must be examined whether the building has the necessary strength for the installation of the elevator or not? And considering the lifespan of the building and the strength of the structure, is it cost-effective to install an elevator or not? Is it possible to create an elevator shaft in the floor of the building and a machine room on the roof? For example, in old buildings up to 4 floors, the use of a hydraulic system may be more suitable due to the entry of less force into the building; provided that the creation of an elevator shaft in the floor of the building is possible.
These services include elevator capacity, type of use, passenger or cargo transportation, number of stops, speed, level of safety against potential hazards, level of vibrations and noise, warranty, after-sales services, etc. For example, traction elevators support higher speeds and heights, but hydraulic elevators are usually recommended for cargo transportation. Also, if it is not possible to build a machine room on the roof, gearless or gearless traction elevators can be used.
The differences between different elevators can be summarized in the following cases.
• Space required for installation and execution time
• Usage
• Functional features
The minimum space required for installation and the shortest execution time is done in pneumatic elevators, with the least nominal capacity of up to 3 people and the maximum number of stops allowed up to 5 stops. In comparison, hydraulic and traction elevators can be said to require less external space for installation, but they are not suitable for high-rise buildings and high speeds.
The importance of transporting goods or passengers in choosing an elevator is significant; usually, hydraulic elevators are used for transporting goods such as cars, while traction elevators are used for passenger transportation in high-rise buildings.
Functional features include the following:
• Nominal capacity
• Number of allowed stops
• Elevator speed
• Level of vibrations and noise during movement and standing
• Safety level against accidents
• Energy consumption
• Environmental effects
By examining the functional features of different elevators and comparing them with the expected services from the elevator, you will have a clearer view of choosing and purchasing an elevator.
Costs include the cost of purchase, installation, and commissioning of the elevator in Iraq, and the cost of maintenance and repair, which must be proportionate to the budget allocated for the purchase and installation of the elevator. To compare the quality of services of elevator installation companies with the cost you are paying for the elevator, you need to check the quality of services of these companies in addition to price inquiries.
After obtaining the necessary information for the purchase and price of the elevator in Iraq, it is necessary to choose the most reputable companies among the elevator installation companies to ensure the quality of design, equipment, and installation of the elevator. To evaluate installation companies, you need to review the work history of these companies and the projects they have completed and are currently executing, and pay attention to the following:
• Executive history
• Engineering knowledge and technical skills
• Use of elevator equipment with reputable brands
• Presentation of valid certifications such as standard certification
• Guarantee and after-sales services
When buying an elevator, go to companies that use the highest quality parts and reputable brands and have genuine goods, because in addition to guaranteeing quality, you will not worry about the spare parts in the market if necessary for repair or replacement.
In conclusion, it should be noted that in addition to economic consultants, before signing contracts with elevator installation companies, ask for drafts of sales, installation, and commissioning contracts, as well as warranties and after-sales services, and consult with legal advisors to ensure that the executive guarantees and their compliance with your requirements. Make sure.
