Welcome to the most mature elevator system in Second Life! Built from the ground up with realism in mind, this system will provide passengers with the most authentic elevator experience that your Lindens can buy. No more entering floor coordinates into a notecard - the car will automatically download them from the doors on each floor! Torn between an elevator and a teleporter? Union Micro elevator doors have built-in teleporters!
With Union Micro, there is no need to buy different elevator packages for different numbers of floors - all you need is one of our packages and you can use it for up to sixteen floors - some cars even support twenty! Also, all of our elevator pieces are COPY and MODIFY! Install it in as many locations as you want and retexture it to make your own custom elevator without worrying about not having a backup copy in case you mess it up.
This is a generation one elevator. Generation two elevators are now available with more features, more customization, and better models!
You spoke, we listened! Union Micro elevators are now extremely easy to install and configure. You can now have a fully working elevator in minutes without editing one single notecard! You get the speed of the partially automated design, but unlike a lot of other elevators you have complete control and flexibility over placing all your parts!
Comes with very detailed installation instructions and (obsolete) narrated installation videos are available at the link below! Also now includes "Super Fast" instructions to get you up and running in minutes.
The typical installation time for Union Micro elevators is about 5 minutes for a standard 3 floor installation by someone familiar with building in Second Life and using default elevator settings.
Installation instructional videos now available! See http://stylezgomez.blip.tv for videos! They aren't really needed with the current elevators but are still available for your reference.
Fully Havok 4 Compatible!

I love this elevator - even paid attention to it on other people's sims
I am so glad I found this one, there's all kinds of elevators on SL, and this one is the most... Enjoyable I know. I don't know what it is about that smooth elevator lift sound and a soft pling-noise when the elevator arrives. *sighs* Lol.
Easy enough to install but you do need to keep your eye on the Super Fast instruction -notecard. (Try without a shaft or floors even, to make sure it doesn't get stuck, and you know it's working.)
200 Lindens is nothing. I'd still be happy paying 1000 Lindens as the original price, even though it's oldish.
Its too complicated to set it up, and have no support
5 out of 5, truely a nice piece of work, as long as you follow the instructions to the letter you will have absolutely no problems with it ;) ok the price is a bit high but its worth every penny, a lot of hard work went into this elevator.
Absolutly wonderful. I will say though, if you don't read the directions carefully you will want to jump off the roof. But, fortunatly, the directions are clear and precise. It works wonderful and looks great.
Very detailed instructions, including several screens through each step. It's pretty simple and straight forward to edit the _config notecards. I set it up without any problems. This amazed me. The look, the music, and the scripting is superb. My favorite feature was the ability to make the car travel at near light speed or nice and slow. A+++
