Elevator Maintenance

Elevators are devices that allow us to travel from one floor to another in tall buildings. These systems make both our professional and social lives more convenient.

Elevator maintenance is important and is considered a necessity. Almost every type of elevator available on the market can be maintained by ARV Group. In addition to providing support during maintenance, periodic maintenance services can also be arranged. By definition, elevators are vehicles that carry people and cargo between designated stops along vertical or horizontal guide rails. They operate with electricity and can carry loads weighing several tons daily, including their own weight. For this reason, some of their parts may wear out over time.

All types of elevators are equipped with automatic operating systems and sensors. Every elevator includes safety systems. In emergency situations, these safety systems are activated and can be life-saving. To prevent emergencies related to elevators, regular periodic maintenance must be carried out.

During maintenance, many components of the elevator are inspected. However, priority is given to the elevator’s critical components. Among these vital components are the elevator motor and the steel cables that support the elevator. After inspecting these two components, any worn parts are replaced, and then light maintenance procedures are carried out.

Which Elevators Are Maintained?

In daily life, we mostly see glass cabin and steel cabin elevators. However, many types of elevators are used in manufacturing industries and various other places. These elevators have specialized engineering, but their operating principles are the same.

During elevator maintenance, the following tasks are performed: motor cleaning, checking oil and bearing grease, inspecting motor contactors, checking and adjusting the motor brake, conducting necessary checks on the entire elevator’s electrical installation, sensor inspection, elevator button checks, inspecting the steel cables along the elevator shaft, and checking the cabin alarm. If needed, all elevator components are cleaned after inspections, and any parts that need replacement are replaced.

What Are the Benefits of Elevator Maintenance?

The primary benefit of elevator maintenance is that it ensures a longer lifespan for the elevator. Another important advantage is that maintenance provides safety and confidence to the people using the elevator.

Nowadays, many people have a fear of elevators. According to scientific studies conducted on people with elevator anxiety, it was found that seeing regular maintenance being performed reduces their fear by about 30%. When elevators are properly maintained, they are not frightening devices.

How Much Are Elevator Maintenance Fees?

Elevator maintenance fees vary significantly. In addition to standard maintenance, many parts may need replacement, which can affect the price depending on the materials changed. However, as ARV Group, we provide many financial advantages to brands regarding elevator maintenance. Besides discounts, we occasionally offer special benefits to brands that have their elevators serviced periodically.
