Ensure you have a log

Overseeing the regularity of how often the lift is checked is crucial, not just for maintenance but also for safety in general. This is key for accurately diagnosing any significant issues and keeping on track of anything that may develop into a further problem. Having a log helps problems get solved much quicker. and ensures that you won’t be in the unfortunate position where you go without operating lifts in your building. You’ll also be able to see if there are any recurring issues, such as problems occurring during peak usage hours for example.

Stick to recommended guidelines

If your lift is used for the purpose of transporting goods or substantial loads, ensure that everyone is aware of the weight limitations of the lift itself, this is key. If you overload the lift, you run the risk of causing increased wear on the mechanisms. In more extreme circumstances, this can be a threat of a very real risk of danger to occupants inside of the lift.
