FAQ

Q1: What is an elevator advertising display?

A: An elevator advertising display is a commercial-grade LCD screen designed for installation inside elevator cabins or lobbies. It delivers targeted ads, building notices, and emergency alerts to a captive audience of building occupants. Unlike consumer TVs, Clientop elevator displays feature ultra-slim housing (≤35mm), vibration resistance, and 7×24 continuous operation. We manufacture three configurations: single-screen (18.5"–23.6"), dual-screen integrated, and bar-type for door frames.
Q2: What is the ROI of elevator advertising displays?

Our clients typically see CPM of $2–8, compared to $15–30 for outdoor billboards. A single screen in a 200-unit residential building generates ~$100–200/month in ad revenue. For commercial buildings with dual-screen setups, revenue reaches $300–600/month. Most projects achieve payback within 6–18 months, with hardware costs fully offset by ad income
Q3: Can I customize the elevator display? What OEM/ODM options are available?

Yes. Clientop has been an OEM/ODM manufacturer since 2007. We customize screen size (18.5"–55"), housing thickness, color, CPU/RAM configuration, brightness (350–500 nit), and even OS (Android/Windows/Linux). White-label CMS and custom branding on housing and boot screen are also available. MOQ: 50 units for standard customization; 100+ for full OEM.
Q4: How do I manage content on elevator displays remotely?

We support three methods: USB for single units, WiFi for small projects (1–10 screens), and Cloud CMS for 50+ units. Our CMS manages 200+ screens from one dashboard — schedule playlists, monitor status in real time, and push content in <15 seconds per unit via 4G. It supports multi-zone display, offline caching, and can be white-labeled with your brand
Q5: What are the installation requirements?

Cabin displays require ≤35mm wall depth and DC 12V power — installation takes 30–60 minutes per unit with no structural modification. Our displays are compatible with all major elevator brands (Schindler, KONE, Otis, Mitsubishi, etc.). Lobby displays (32"–55") use standard VESA mounting. An external antenna is available for buildings with weak 4G/WiFi signal
Q6: What is the lead time and MOQ?

Sample orders (1–3 units) ship in 2 weeks. Standard bulk orders start at 50 units with 15–20 business days lead time. Full OEM orders (custom branding, housing, software) require 100+ units and 20–25 business days. We offer FOB Shenzhen or CIF shipping, and phased delivery for projects exceeding 200 units
Q7: Elevator LCD display vs traditional poster frame — which is better?

Poster frames cost $50–150 upfront but require $200–500/month in printing for a 10-floor building. LCD displays cost $300–800 per unit but eliminate all printing costs — content changes via CMS in seconds. LCD displays also support video, remote management, and dual-purpose use (ads + notices + alerts). For any building where content changes more than once a month, LCD delivers significantly better ROI.
Q8: What is the maintenance cost and failure rate?

Our displays have MTBF >50,000 hours and annual failure rate <3%, based on 1,500+ deployed units. Power consumption is ≤65W (~$5–8/month electricity). Standard warranty is 1 year (2–3 years available for projects), with replacement boards shipped within 3–5 business days. All components are industrial-grade, designed to withstand constant vibration and temperatures from -20°C to 60°C
Q9: Are elevator displays fire-safe? What certifications do you have?

Yes. All Clientop elevator displays use flame-retardant housing (V-0 rating per UL94), with over-current and over-temperature protection. Available certifications include CE, FCC, UL, KC, BIS, CCC + Fire Protection, and IP65. All certifications are genuine and verifiable — we provide test reports with every shipment. Our displays also meet EMI/EMC standards to avoid interference with elevator control systems
Q10: Can you support large-scale deployment across multiple buildings?

Yes. We have delivered 200+ units across 40 buildings in a single project. Our 5-phase process covers project assessment (1–3 days), sample validation (2 weeks), phased bulk production, deployment support with remote technical guidance, and ongoing CMS monitoring. For projects 100+ units, we provide on-site installation guidance and a dedicated account manager
