When it comes to elevator maintenance, most people don\u2019t think about it. \u00a0However, regular maintenance is the best way to make sure that your elevators run smoothly. When it comes to elevator issues, you need to decide whether repair or modernization is necessary. Here are some tips to help you decide.<\/p>\n
You need to review the National Elevator Code. This is a published code that comes out every three years. Then, every year, the code has updates that show changes or modifications. In addition, you should look at the code in your jurisdiction to make sure that it is not out-of-date.<\/p>\n
You need to learn what modernization is. This generally means an alteration to the code. When you alter code, you may have to update the system.<\/p>\n
The ASME has definitions for a variety of different types of elevator work and issues.<\/p>\n
Alterations:<\/strong>\u00a0Any changes to the equipment, meaning any changes to components or subsystems<\/p>\n Maintenance:<\/strong>\u00a0A routine exam that involves cleaning, adjustments, or lubrication to ensure performance<\/p>\n Repair:<\/strong>\u00a0The reconditioning of different parts to keep it in compliance with requirements<\/p>\n Replacement<\/strong>: When you substitute a device or component with a unit that is the same as before.<\/p>\n Everything that you do in regard to elevator modernization has to be planned. Keep in mind that the architect or engineer behind your building does not design the elevator modernizations. If you don\u2019t plan the project, you will run into issues. The elevator code involves a lot of work. You need the right contractor with the right training to handle the job.<\/p>\n When it comes to repairing or modernizing your elevator, be sure you are taking all of the existing systems in the building into account.
