 hat do Disnev World in Florida, Ballvs and
W Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, San Quentm m
San Francisco, the Library of Congress in
Washington D.C., and the White House all have in
common? They all contain elevators made with
products built by Hollister-W'hitney! In fact, we have
elevator components all over the globe!
In 1899, Edward Everett Hollister founded Hollister
Elevator Company in Quincy, Illinois. He was joined
by Frank H. Whitney in 1906, and they formed
Hollister-,v11itney Elevator Company, which built
and installed hydraulic lifts.
The sons of both partners, I<:.E. Hollister, .Jr.
and Richard '"11itney, joined the company and
manufacturing was expanded to include traction
elevators. During World War II. the facilities were
used to manufacture large-caliber weapons (tank
barrels, etc.) for the government. In those years,
employment rose and more modem equipment was
added. In the post-war years, these advancements
allowed the plant to effecth'cly produce the
sophisticated elevator equipment of that era.
When E.E. Hollister .Jr. and Richard Whitney passed
away in the late 1950s, there were only 18 employees
in an antiquated plant. It was in 1960 that Herbert
Glaser, Sr., President of G.A.L. Manufacturing in
New Yorl<, purchased the facility and instituted
new designs and modern manufacturing methods.
Glaser combined his many years of experience,
Hollister-Whitney's knowledge in supplying
mechanical components, and G.A.L.'s ability to
provide the electrical and control equipment.
This enabled the two organizations to become
leading suppliers of elevator equipment.
In 1978, Hollister-Whitney discontinued the mainte-
nance and construction phase of the operation and
concentrated solely on the manufacture of hydraulic
and traction elevator systems. In 1981. the plant
moved to a spacious 100,000 square-foot plant.
A 75-foot research tower was constructed for
purposes in 1986, H-W to offer many new
products and equipment. An additional 30,000 square
feet of space was added in 1988 to keep up with the
ever growing business. In 1997. as national and
international markets continued to expand.
another 55.000 square feet and a J 00-foot test
tower were added.

 n recent years, there has been a great

I deal of discussion about the need for

protection against injuries caused by
elevator cars leaving the floor with the
doors open and <werspeeding in the up
direction. That's why llollister-Whitney
introduced the Rope Gripper": a
remarkable device used to grab elevator
suspension ropes to stop the elevator in
the event of a mechanical or electrical
faiJure . lt is imperative if an elevator
overspeeds in the up direction and also
if the elevator leaves the floor with the
doot·s opened.

The Rope Gripper'" has many unique features, such

as a gently applied but powerful 'grip' which doesn't
damage the rope or cause any undue stress to the
machine or traction sheave. Protection is assured even
when slipping traction occurs. The Rope Gripper'"
provides easy alignment with adcquttte clearances
between the rope and self grooving 'grip' linings and
provides power compensation with a constant but
powerful force to the rope even as the linings wear.
Only four wires are required to the elevator controls
and inst11llation is simple. The Rope Gripper'" is
mcch:mically activated and hydranlicnlly reset.
