What Bore-Max Corp. does

Bore-Max Corporation is a U.S. manufacturer of hydraulic elevator components, organized as a California corporation and headquartered at 3380 Gilman Road, El Monte, CA 91732. The company produces submersible pump units (8.3 to 255 GPM), belt-driven/dry pump units (up to 375 GPM using IMO pumps and Lincoln/Imperial motors), hydraulic jacks (in-ground and hole-less configurations for new construction and multi-piece replacements), slings and platform rough-in packages for passenger and freight elevators, and supporting pit equipment and rail brackets. Its components are specified by elevator contractors and by building owners/facility managers responsible for installation, maintenance, and modernization of hydraulic passenger and freight elevators across North America.

The company has been producing hydraulic elevator components for nearly 50 years and operates under the Vantage Elevator Solutions family of brands alongside sister companies GAL Manufacturing, Hollister-Whitney, GAL Canada, Courion Doors, Elevator Controls, Thames Valley Controls, and Vertical Dimensions. In Q1 2024 Vantage announced the relocation of Bore-Max hydraulic power unit production from El Monte, CA to existing Vantage manufacturing facilities in Sacramento, CA (submersible units) and Quincy, IL (dry-mount units), and concurrently discontinued new quoting of hydraulic jack assemblies effective January 3, 2024.

Bore-Max generates revenue through direct, quote-based sales of hardware to elevator contractors and freight/passenger elevator operators. The go-to-market is sales-led, with quote request forms on the website and direct phone/fax/email contact routing orders through Vantage-affiliated addresses (e.g., [email protected]). Pricing is custom per project; no list pricing is published, and the billing cadence is transactional (pay-as-you-go) tied to individual orders rather than recurring contracts.
