Your Guide To Elevator Repair Parts

On average, there are about 17,000 elevator accidents annually in the United States that can be directly linked to poor maintenance or faulty elevator repair parts. That is definitely not a problem that you or your business wants on your conscience – or your bottom line.

If you’re curious about what you might need to replace, keep reading to find out. You should be aware of when you need to make these repairs to keep your elevator working correctly.

Elevator Repair 101

Elevator repair is serious business, as there are legal and safety standards with which you must abide.

At a minimum, your state or county will require you to maintain and display a maintenance log. This can either be done in-house or by an elevator repair service, whomever you might choose.

Some elevator parts need to be kept on hand regardless of if you are a contractor or the owner/operator of the elevator so that any major issues can be dealt with in a timely manner.

Common Elevator Repair Parts

Most modern elevators have similar parts, a few of which are vital to keep on hand, especially if you are in the market for industrial elevator repair. Here is a quick list.

  • Counterweight
  • Machine Drive
  • Overspeed governor
  • Tension pulley
  • Sheave and Motor
  • Control cabinet

These elevator repair parts are all common items that need to be inspected, maintained, and repaired as soon as possible if there is an issue. The failure of any of these parts could lead to a bad situation.

Elevator Safety Tips

The most important safety tip is to make sure that the elevator in your facility is properly inspected and up to local code. Not only does this keep your guests and customers safe, but it can also absolve you of responsibility in the event of a catastrophe.

Some things to consider warning your guests or customers about in terms of elevator safety, residential elevator repair not included:

  • Back away from the door
  • Watch Your Step
  • Don’t hold the door

Liability and You

In the event of a major problem with the elevator or elevators in your facility, it is crucial to have a stable of elevator repair companies on hand with whom you can consult.

Even if you just need a single elevator repair part, having one go-to elevator repair service should lift a burden off of your shoulders. rather than fret about what may be going wrong or worse – waiting for something to go wrong, it’s much easier to pick up the phone and call someone. This also can lighten the legal lode for you, as professionals often – if not always – include a liability clause in their contract.

Call a Professional

If you have questions about elevator repair parts, your life will be much easier if you research local elevator repair companies. While you can attempt to make the repair yourself (if you’re legally allowed to, that is), it’s much easier and less risky to call a professional.
