What Hitachi Elevator Button Models and Styles Are Commonly Used?
In elevator parts procurement, “buttons” are always one of the most frequently used, most easily worn, and most commonly replaced components. As one of the most well-known global brands, Hitachi elevators are widely used in residential buildings, commercial complexes, hotels, and public facilities. Therefore, Hitachi button models have always been in high demand in the maintenance market. However, for many purchasers, Hitachi buttons come in many models and styles, and differ across generations and control systems, making it difficult to match them accurately.
