Desde General Elevadores comenzamos el 2024 recopilando consejos para un correcto mantenimiento de un ascensor. Los ascensores son una parte vital de la vida diaria, tanto los que se encuentran en edificios residenciales y comunitarios, como los que están instalados en viviendas unifamiliares, proporcionando comodidad y accesibilidad.
Para garantizar un rendimiento seguro y eficiente, es imprescindible llevar a cabo un mantenimiento regular y cuidadoso. Apunta los tips más importantes para el mantenimiento y cuidado óptimo de tu ascensor.
2. Hiring certified professionals
First of all, make sure you hire a professional and certified lift maintenance company. Qualified technicians ensure thorough inspections and the proper repairs, in addition to complying with safety regulations.
3. Preventive maintenance programme
Preventive maintenance reduces the incidence of breakdowns and prolongs your lift´s service life. Make sure you hire a certified company with considerable experience in preventive and corrective maintenance to repair any faults. This will prevent any unpleasant surprises.
4. Regular cleaning
Clean both the inside and outside of your lift on a regular basis. Remove dust, dirt and any residue that could prevent the components from working properly. Pay particular attention to the rails and doors.tas.
5. Surface disinfection
It is essential to regularly disinfect touch surfaces in the elevator, such as buttons and handrails. Use mild disinfectants to avoid damaging components.
6. Protection against vandalism
An increasingly popular recommendation is the installation of security cameras in areas close to the lift to deter vandalism, as well as in the lift itself. The community will feel safer in these cases.
7. Lighting check
Make sure the lighting in the lift is working properly. Good visibility not only improves the user experience, but also enhances safety. We also recommend installing automatic lighting systems, such as our Ecolux equipment, which turns the light in the cabin off when it is not in use, thereby leading to significant energy savings.
8. Overload protection
Always comply with the maximum weight limit indicated on the lift and use it responsibly when transporting heavy objects, such as when moving house, for example.
9. Compliance with local regulations
Make sure your lift complies with all local regulations and codes. This guarantees the safety of users and avoids legal issues.
Following these recommendations will go a long way to ensuring the optimal performance and safety of the lifts in your home or community.
