FAQs

What does a lift upgrade involve?

When it comes to making the most out of your elevator, a lift upgrade can make all the difference. An upgrade can be carried out on an existing system, used to modernise the machinery without needing an entirely new lift installation.

Most upgrades can be tailored to your specific needs, meaning a company will only replace what’s necessary and requested. This could be outdated wiring, or the elevator doors themselves. Get in touch with our team today for a quote on lift upgrades.

How often should a lift be serviced?

There is no definitive answer for how often lift servicing should happen. This is because of how different each lift type is from one another. Some heavier capacity lifts require more routine maintenance, whereas others might only need servicing up to twice a year.

A good rule of thumb is to check with our professionals before, during, or after having your lift installed, to ensure your lift is being checked as regularly as it should. Get in touch with our experts to find out more.

What is an eco-lift?

Did you know elevators can be eco-friendly too? Sustainability doesn’t need to be limited to only using reusable coffee cups. Eco-lifts are an energy-saving solution, which can save you money while saving the planet.

Features of our eco-lifts include regenerative devices, which help to recover the energy used by a lift when braking. Our sustainable lifts are also fitted with LED lights, which use 80% less energy and last up to 10 times longer than traditional halogen bulbs. Contact us today to learn more.

What does a lift engineer do?

The role of a lift engineer is varied on a day-to-day basis. Largely, a lift engineer will be responsible for the installation of an elevator, as well as their servicing and maintenance. Some engineers are also even responsible for lift designs.

A lift engineer should be able to advise clients and customers on what steps should be taken to keep their elevators working effectively. These engineers also need to be able to problem-solve in the event of an emergency. If you need a lift engineer, get in touch with our friendly team today.

What are the general guidelines for lift maintenance?

To help you keep your list operating properly, it’s important to follow some general guidelines for lift maintenance, which we have listed below.

Keep your lift in order by:

●       Arranging regular lift maintenance carried out by a professional elevator engineer

●       Ensuring an expert carries out repairs

●       Only using the lift for its intended purpose, e.g. not putting passengers in a goods-only lift

●       Organising thorough checks of the elevator as a preventative measure
