FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about the Elevator

Frequently asked questions and answers on lifts, elevator systems, their maintenance and modernization

Why should I sign a maintenance contract during the warranty period? I have a warranty!"

The structural substance of new buildings changes in the first few years.  The building "settles". These structural changes can significantly impair the operating characteristics and functional safety of the elevator system. This can result in increased wear and even failure of the elevator system.

The special care taken in the course of preventive maintenance when checking and carrying out adjustment work ensures that the elevator system functions, is comfortable to use and retains its value from day one.

Isn't it cheaper to have the elevator system inspected regularly and only act when necessary?

Cheaper, yes, but not economical, and as the operator you would run an incalculable liability risk.

Care and adjustment work, which is an essential part of preventive maintenance, extends the life cycles of wearing parts and prevents secondary damage to high-quality assemblies.

Can I increase the conveying capacity and save energy at the same time?

Yes, by optimizing traffic routes and reducing travel and waiting times.

By replacing existing individual controls with group controls for shared travel shafts.

Can I reduce downtimes?

Yes, the high availability of spare parts for standard assemblies guarantees you shorter repair times.
