Planned Lift Maintenance & Servicing
Planned lift maintenance and servicing helps identify wear before it develops into a breakdown, supports reliable day-to-day operation and assists with ongoing compliance.
Maintenance programmes are based on the type of lift, its age, usage and the environment in which it operates. Servicing visits can include routine inspections, adjustment of mechanical and electrical components, lubrication, testing of safety devices and the identification of worn or obsolete parts before they affect performance.
Maintenance and servicing are available for passenger lifts, goods lifts, platform lifts, service lifts and accessibility lifts across commercial, residential and public sector buildings.
Planned Maintenance Includes
- Pre-planned maintenance visits.
- Inspection of mechanical and electrical components.
- Testing of safety devices, alarm and emergency communication systems.
- Functionality and ride quality checks.
- Adjustment and lubrication where required.
- Identification of worn or obsolete components.
- Fault reporting and repair recommendations.
- 24-hour emergency breakdown response where included within the maintenance agreement.
Maintenance agreements can be tailored to suit the equipment installed, the level of use and the operational requirements of the building. Visit frequencies and maintenance schedules are agreed according to the application and the level of service required.
Maintenance Programmes
Maintenance requirements vary from one lift to another. Visit frequency is influenced by factors including the type of lift, the level of daily use, the age of the equipment and the environment in which it operates.
A passenger lift serving a residential apartment building will often require a different maintenance programme to a goods lift operating within a warehouse or manufacturing facility. Maintenance schedules should reflect the demands placed on the equipment rather than adopting a single approach for every installation.
Supporting Reliable Lift Performance
Routine maintenance provides the opportunity to identify worn components before they fail, helping to reduce unexpected breakdowns and avoid unnecessary disruption to building users.
Where parts are approaching the end of their service life, recommendations can be made before reliability is affected. In some cases, individual components can be replaced as part of planned maintenance. Where equipment has become obsolete or repeated failures occur, lift modernisation may provide a more practical long-term solution.
Lift Systems Covered
Maintenance is available for a wide range of lift systems, including:
- Passenger lifts
- Goods lifts
- Platform lifts
- Service lifts
- Accessibility lifts
Maintenance and servicing are available for equipment installed by a wide range of manufacturers. Maintenance programmes are developed around the installation rather than the original supplier.
Services can be provided for lifts installed by a wide range of manufacturers, regardless of the original installation company.
