You can take steps to reduce the chance of a lift breakdown such as:
Schedule Regular Lift Maintenance
Ensure your lifts undergo regular preventative lift maintenance (at least 2 visits a year for passenger lifts and 1 for goods lifts). Due to the nature of lifts usage and to minimize breakdowns further, the industry recommend 4 visits a year. Ensure all lift maintenance is high quality and done properly.
Ensure Proper Usage
Ensure proper usage of lifts at all times (no people inside a goods lift etc.). Display a weight and/or person limit clearly and make sure it is not overloaded or used incorrectly.
Act With Urgency When Problems Arise
Is something off about your lift? It may be a wise idea to contact your lift company to investigate the issue. Even small problems can become serious over time, the longer you leave them, the more potential they have to cause a lift breakdown. For this reason, acting with caution and getting in touch early can prevent further issues.
