The importance of elevator maintenance
The proper operation of elevators requires both preventative maintenance and corrective repairs. These activities help maintain the safe operation of your equipment for the riding public along with protecting your investment by ensuring it is functioning properly throughout its lifespan.
Preventative maintenance typically includes services such as component adjustments, oil changes, equipment cleaning and parts replacement. These procedures increase elevator uptime and extend the life of your equipment.
Various levels of maintenance and parts replacement coverage are available from most service providers. These scope options are offered so that you may select the right fit for your equipment type, building needs and budget.
When selecting an elevator maintenance provider, it is critical to select a reliable company that’s capable of maintaining and repairing the type of equipment installed in your building. While preventative maintenance is foundational, it’s also critical that the provider maintains the right supply of components for your equipment for any necessary repairs.
