While elevators today are made to a high standard of safety and precision, nothing is foolproof. Things can go wrong, and without proper maintenance, the chances of that happening are much higher. A mandatory maintenance plan is one way you can reduce risk and improve service.
What Is a Mandatory Maintenance Plan?
A mandatory maintenance plan for a commercial elevator is a scheduled service that includes a set amount of repairs, tests, and inspections. The commercial customer works with elevator professionals to truly understand risk level and service needs. The customer chooses the level at which they feel comfortable, and the maintenance plan gets regularly scheduled.
What Is Typically Included?
As was previously mentioned, your maintenance plan will include the tests, repairs, and inspections that you feel it needs most on a regular basis. In most cases, it typically includes a checkup of the most critical parts of the elevator. Any parts that have been worn will be replaced with quality parts. If the technician notices anything concerning, that will be communicated to you so a plan of action can be created.
Why Is It Important?
Now to the “whys” of scheduling regular maintenance. It’s probably obvious you need a mandatory maintenance plan for your commercial elevator to increase safety. Without proper maintenance in place, the elevator can pose a safety risk for anyone who uses it. Additionally, there are other problems that could arise that are perfectly safe but completely inconvenient. When you have proper maintenance done on your elevator, you don’t have to worry as much about it getting stuck or malfunctioning when there are people in it.
