An elevator consultant is required when you wish to install a new lift or replace an old elevator in your building. A consultant is necessary because he can provide you with adequate knowledge about the intricacies of the instalment and even help you in choosing an elevator model that would be appropriate for you.
How do they help in choosing the right model? In order to help you choose a right model, an elevator consultant would carefully note down your requirements and also assess the site where it needs to be installed. Once he has assessed the conditions appropriately, he would either suggest indoor or outdoor lifts. An indoor lift may be of any of these types: vertical wheelchair, dumbwaiters, package lifts, platforms lifts, portable wheel chair lifts etc. An outdoor lift may be of the following types: inclined lifts, pool lifts and vertical lifts.
Once he has helped you in choosing the right kind of lift for your building, he would get it installed keeping in mind the smooth functioning of the lift and its efficiency over a period of time. Leaving aside that, a consultant will make sure that all necessary safety features such as safety brakes, door inter-locking, phone, emergency stop etc. have been taken care of.
