Elevator Firm Unveils In-Cab Filtration and Sterilization System

Bronx-based CEC Elevator Cab Corp. has introducd Sterilyft, an elevator air filtration and sterilization system intended to fight the current pandemic and prevent future pathogenic spread.

Sterilyft uses UV-C light to kill pathogens, double MERV 13 filtering and then adds purified air back into the elevator cab space in a closed loop arrangement. CEC has already installed the system in seven different states across the U.S.

“The only way we’re going to win this war against COVID-19 is by being proactive—taking the battle to small, enclosed spaces like elevators,” said Nick Gretsuk, EVP at CEC. “Risk mitigation is key, and companies need to assure the public that offices and multi-storied buildings are as safe as possible for those beginning to return to work and public life. Companies can begin by assuring that elevators are clean and safe places again—an assurance we’re providing with Sterilyft.”
