Entering into a high-quality elevator preventive maintenance contract is as essential as the equipment’s initial purchase. A common approach has been to take advantage of the lowest maintenance price available. But one has to be careful that the low price does not end up with you having lesser labor content and fewer worn parts being replaced under the contract. The consequences of that decision may result in rapid deterioration of the elevator plant in the interest of saving money.
Unfortunately, once the elevator equipment shows signs of neglect, it is nearly impossible to correct the many problems–even by changing to a higher-quality elevator maintenance program at a later date. Major high-quality elevator manufacturing and contracting firms are financially able to spend large sums of money to provide the essential components. Rain their technical personnel to maintain the elevator equipment models in your building. Stock the required replacement parts, supplies, and tools to do the job regardless of the complexity or expense required.
Provide a complete engineering staff that can correct any type of problem that may exist. Design the most effective preventive maintenance program for the equipment, with some significant dialogue with the building owner or facility manager. Have the resources to tackle the most difficult task associated with the elevator plant.
