Are you—and your elevator—ready for business? 

In the wake of COVID-19 vaccines, authorities are lifting restrictions and the American public will start returning to work as usual. Employees will make the transition back to the office, and people will begin to travel more for work and pleasure. 

This will bring a welcome influx of business to hotels, shopping malls, and other establishments that had experienced less foot traffic in 2020. It is important to make sure that your building is prepared to handle the increase in patronage by having your elevator inspected and maintained. Read on to see which maintenance plan might best suit your needs.               

The Importance of Elevator Maintenance

As bidaily use of elevators increases, elevators will need to be verified as safe and ready to handle the increase in foot traffic. 

It is wise to schedule elevator maintenance not only for necessary upkeep but also as a preventative measure. Regular elevator maintenance will:

  •       Keep you from spending money on repeated or avoidable repairs.
  •       Bring your elevator up to code and meet legal requirements.
  •       Increase the reliability and durability of your elevator.
  •       Provide safety and satisfaction to your patrons. 

What Should Commercial Elevator Maintenance Include?

While maintenance plans differ depending on the need, any commercial elevator maintenance plan should include some of the same key elements to provide your elevator safety and cleanliness.

A Basic Commercial Maintenance Plan Should Offer:

  •       A safety inspection
  •       A recall check
  •       Valve adjustments
  •       Hoistway and door cleaning
  •       Floor levelling
