Although they can strike at any time, lift breakdowns can easily be prevented through lift inspections and proper lift maintenance. A lift breakdown can be a panic-inducing occurrence that can easily result in a serious emergency, minimising the risk of a breakdown is minimising the risk of a potential crisis.
Lift maintenance involves regular routine maintenance that would most commonly necessitate replacing worn or damaged parts and making routine adjustments to reduce risks. It’s a preventative measure that is taken to avoid more serious malfunctions that could escalate into lift breakdowns.
Why is Lift Maintenance Important
Lift maintenance is important to keep the equipment running smoothly and efficiently. A well-maintained lift can last for many years with only routine servicing, however, a neglected lift will quickly develop problems that can be expensive to repair. Lift maintenance typically involves checking and adjusting the various parts of the lift on a regular basis. This may include inspecting the drive train, checking the brakes and electrical system, and testing the safety features.
Additionally, lift operators should perform regular maintenance such as greasing moving parts and replacing worn gloves. By performing regular maintenance, lift operators can help to extend the life of their equipment and prevent costly repairs.
What Are The Benefits of Scheduling Lift Maintenance?
Proper lift maintenance is crucial in keeping your lift safe, trustworthy and fit for use. There are numerous benefits to scheduling lift maintenance:
Avoiding Breakdowns
Lift breakdowns are a worst-case scenario and need to be avoided at all costs. Most lifts are in a commercial setting where dozens (even hundreds) of people are using them to traverse from floor to floor. When a lift is transporting so many people, a lift breakdown can be truly dangerous – affecting your customers and your business. Even if a lift is used to transport goods, a breakdown can cause serious disruptions to your daily activities.
Save on Costs
With the high costs of lift repairs, scheduling lift maintenance and lift inspections are the most effective and affordable means of avoiding the payouts associated with lift breakdowns and malfunctions. Sometimes when a lift breakdown occurs (or another serious malfunction), the only option is to have a completely new lift installed, but compared to maintenance and repairs, a lift installation can be incredibly expensive.
Extend Your Lift’s Life Cycle
Disregarding lift maintenance can reduce your lift’s expected life cycle substantially. With regular maintenance, your lift can exceed even its expected longevity whilst functioning seamlessly and without fault. Of course, extending your lift’s life cycle keeps you from paying out for lift installations earlier than needed and can give you extra time to prepare.
