A Trusted Southern California Elevator Partner
Dwan Elevator Company’s story begins in 1931, when J.E. Dwan founded one of California’s first residential elevator and stair lift companies. Over the years, that foundation expanded into expertise across vertical transportation systems throughout the region.
When the company became known as The Inclinator Company of California (ICOC), it was widely respected for craftsmanship and performance. ICOC’s crews completed thousands of elevator installations — shaping the way commercial and residential accessibility was envisioned in Southern California. Today, that legacy lives on under the Dwan Elevator Company name, where our team applies historic knowledge and modern expertise to complex commercial projects with professionalism and precision.
