Kings III + Wurtec: Advancing Communications for Every Elevator through Strategic Partnership

With over 75 years of combined industry experience, Kings III and Wurtec have joined forces to simplify video messaging solutions to meet today’s code requirements while preparing for tomorrow’s advances.

Property managers and elevator contractors need clear, complete, and effective solutions to stay compliant. Together, we’re tackling the complexities of video-based elevator monitoring head-on, making it easier to implement and manage. Our full turnkey option streamlines solving for significant changes to elevator emergency communication requirements brought about by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), International Building Code (IBC), New York Building Code, and others now requiring video messaging systems within newly constructed and modernized elevators. Applicable code years dating back to 2018 (IBC) and 2019 (ASME) are adopted in over 75% of the US and can be cumbersome for both the elevator maintenance company as well as the building owner, until now.

Benefits That Drive Emergency Communications Forward

$135/Month Full Turnkey = Equipment + Data + Monitoring

ELEVATOR COMPANIES

Kings III’s partnership with Wurtec streamlines VMS implementation and maintenance by combining our monitoring expertise with their engineering excellence.

What does this mean? Less hassle for your team. Free hardware, fewer unexpected expenses and peace of mind for your customer.

Your customer benefits from free VMS hardware (WUR-COM) with lifetime warranty, maintenance, data connection and professional emergency dispatch as part of our $135/month turnkey solution. As usual, this requires your customer having a signed agreement directly with Kings III.

Your team benefits from enhanced installation support and a dedicated 1-800 number for helping you get a device up and running quickly.

VMS Hardware Delivery: The WUR-COM device will be provided directly to you. Note: If your organization is partial to pre-mounted hardware through your preferred fixture company, Kings III will not cover that hardware cost but will warranty the equipment under the same $135/month plan with your customer. While this does not provide the full free hardware benefit to your customer, it gives your team what you prefer operationally and it gives our joint customer the peace of mind knowing equipment repair and replacement is covered. Same hassle-free, one-stop-shop experience Kings III customers receive with our turnkey voice monitoring.

Elevator Partner Program FAQs

  • How is Kings III different from an answering service?
    We’re glad you asked because there is an extreme difference in our services.

    Our dispatchers answer only emergency calls coming from emergency phones. We are NOT an after hours solution for business calls. We take emergency phone calls only. This is important for a few reasons but none more worth talking about than our specialized employee training. Our employees are not minimum wage call takers. They are highly-trained emergency dispatch operators, receiving a higher level of training than is often required in 911 centers. We view calls outside of these parameters as a distraction to our team when they need to be at the top of their game at all times. The response to an emergency call is vastly different than a typical phone call and the person handling these calls makes all the difference.
  • What is Kings III’s typical customer base?
    We service predominantly owners and managers of multifamily and commercial real estate properties. If there is a need for an emergency phone at a property, we are a good fit.
  • Do you work through us or do you work directly with our customers?
    Both, actually. We work with elevator companies for the introduction but we do not rely on you to sell our services. We work directly with customers to keep you from being the middle man and more importantly to ensure we have a direct line to the end user so we can keep up-to-date emergency call lists, which we customize for all our customers based on their needs.
  • Give me the rundown of the Kings III service. How does it work and what does it include?
    We provide an all-inclusive elevator phone service. This includes the phone equipment, installation, maintenance and professional emergency monitoring
