According to statistics of the elevator industry, the quality of elevator is decided according to the ratio of 50:50, of which 50% comes from the quality of equipment and products, and the remaining 50% comes from maintenance.
Therefore, users and managers should follow the elevator maintenance procedures as below:
1. Maintenance Frequency
Pursuant to National Technical Regulation QCVN 32:2018/BLDTBXH on Occupational Safety for home elevators: Elevators during use must be periodically maintained for no more than every 3 months. In between maintenance, it is necessary to check and promptly deal with possible hazards.
A high-class elevator company will strictly comply with the above standards of the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, even do periodic maintenance once a month, inspecting all elevators to ensure that the parameters meet the standards, so that the elevator always operates in the best condition, avoiding possible damage.
2. Maintenance Procedure
Professional elevator maintenance procedures must be performed as follows:
In the case of special lifts, the inspection will be carried out according to the mandatory requirements of the manufacturer.
Accordingly, the process needs to be carried out synchronously and fully with the following steps:
Inspect and clean machine room.
Inspect the shaft and above the cabin.
Check the bottom of the shaft and the bottom of the cabin.
Inspection and maintenance inside the cabin.
Inspection and maintenance outside the landing door.
Test run the elevator for a final check.
Run the elevator to check the safety devices.
3. Quality maintenance
– Technicians are trained thoroughly:
There are many ways to choose the technical team to perform maintenance work:
+ Hire an outside repairman.
+ The company providing the elevator will hire a 3rd party to do this.
However, these methods are not effective. If you encounter unscrupulous technicians, you may have equipment swapped or replaced with non-genuine parts.
The solution for you is to find elevator companies that provide the entire team from installation to operation to maintenance without hiring a 3rd party. A reputable elevator maintenance company will have a detailed elevator maintenance procedure, all technicians are trained thoroughky and periodically by technical experts from Vietnam and abroad.
In order for the elevator maintenance to be complete, the technicians must perform the inspection and measurement using a full range of gauges, meters, … tools, maintenance device that meet manufacturer’s requirement.
4. Notes during maintenance
In addition to information about frequency, quality, and procedure, you need to note some important details in the “maintenance log” as follows:
– Elevator instruction manual.
After inspection and maintenance, technicians will instruct users on how to operate the elevator, understand the features of the elevator and warn all problems related to durability, operation and stable maintenance behavior.
In addition, technicians also guide customers on new technologies for users after each manufacturer’s upgrade.
– Warn in advance of problems arising, handle those problems according to procedures and replace equipment according to standards.
With the elevator imported directly from Europe, the product’s synchronization is very high. If parts and equipment cannot be replaced with authentic parts, it may lead to unstable and unsafe operation of the elevator.
When using the maintenance services from reputable companies, in addition to being guaranteed about the equipment, you are also warned of problems that may arise during the operation of the elevator such as: Elevator is shaking during the first period of operation, elevator run out of oil. The technicians will provide you with solutions to handle these problems, guide you to replace the equipment according to the standards, and avoid this situation where outside repairman can replace, swap out substandard, low-quality equipment.
In case the elevator has equipment failure, the technician will conduct a detailed inspection and assessment of the errors and failures; have detailed inspection and equipment replacement procedures in accordance with the manufacturer’s standards.
Elevator maintenance content is extremely important to the quality of operation and lifespan of the elevator, so customers need to choose a reputable product and service provider with a specific and clear elevator maintenance procedure.
