Purchasing an elevator for your property is a substantial investment, and like any investment, you want it to be safe, reliable and have long-term value to you, which is why servicing your lift regularly helps you provide a layer of protection to that investment.
The key benefits of regular servicing address things like…
Enhancing Safety
Proper servicing and maintenance of a lift are essential to ensure the safety of passengers. Shotton Lifts services involve regular inspections, testing of safety features, and preventative maintenance to identify and address potential issues. From door sensors and emergency brakes to lift shaft inspections and emergency phone line access, every aspect is thoroughly checked to mitigate the risk of accidents and provide a safer ride for passengers.
Minimsing Downtime
Regular servicing also helps to identify and resolve minor issues before they escalate into more of a significant problem. With proactive servicing, our technicians look to identify potential problems early on, ensuring your lift can remain operational and reliable without any future loss of lift operation.
Extending Lifespan
Protecting your investment and maximising your elevator’s lifespan is important for you in terms of optimising the return on your investment.
Routine servicing plays a pivotal role in extending the lifespan of your home or commercial lift. Regular schedules addressing lubrication, cleaning and adjustments prevent wear and tear, reducing the likelihood of significant breakdowns and the need for expensive repairs.
By keeping your lift’s components in optimal condition, regular maintenance and servicing helps to prolong the lifespan of your lift and prevent premature replacements and decommissioning
Improving Performance
Efficient performance is essential for reflecting a positive experience when a lift is being used. Regular high-quality servicing ensures that your lift operates smoothly, reducing jerks, unwanted noises and longer delays when riding.
Shotton Lift’s technicians conduct thorough inspections, check hydraulic functions, adjust door mechanisms, and fine-tune controls to optimise performance.
By keeping your lift fine-tuned, our servicing will ensure that your ride quality remains unhindered, allowing passengers to fully appreciate the ride.
Summary
In conclusion, both the servicing and maintenance of your elevator are essential aspects for experiencing uninterrupted reliability and performance, whilst ensuring safety and compliance is met.
By opting to service your elevator with a reputable and professional lift servicing partner, owners can be assured that their lift provides a smooth, enjoyable experience for all passengers when in use, while mitigating serious issues and extending the elevator’s lifespan.
