Why do elevators need regular repairs and maintenance?
The main problems with elevator failures generally arise from two issues:
1. Strict supervision of the elevator production process leads to product quality problems.
2. Maintenance work is too perfunctory or not updated regularly.
An elevator is a precision mechanical ride device composed of various combinations of electronics, electrical and machinery. Only regular maintenance can maintain the precise function of the elevator equipment. The life of an elevator is related to factors such as product quality, frequency of use, maintenance, etc. Elevators will cause safety problems due to consumption and wear. Parts that are easily worn, such as rollers, brake pads, wire ropes, electrical components, etc., usually last 3 to 5 years. It needs to be replaced, and the service life of an elevator is about 10 to 15 years. If good maintenance habits are maintained, the service life can be extended by about 5 years. Therefore, the elevator needs to be updated in time to effectively reduce the frequency of failures.

How often does the elevator need to be inspected for safety?
Many people wait until something goes wrong with the elevator before repairing or maintaining it. However, this will lead to rapid aging and damage of elevator parts and bad repair habits. According to national regulations, elevators in residential buildings need to be maintained at least once a month. If elevators are used more frequently, such as elevators in office buildings, they need to be maintained twice a month.
According to the provisions of Article 4 of the Measures for the Management of Installation and Inspection of Lifting Equipment in Buildings, the manager shall appoint a professional manufacturer to be responsible for the maintenance of the lifting equipment. The professional technicians shall implement the maintenance on a monthly basis and prepare a record sheet in accordance with the general maintenance procedures. One copy should be made in duplicate, and the license number should be filled in. One copy will be held by the administrator and the professional manufacturer each.
For the safety of passengers, the elevator needs to be kept in the best condition at all times. The maintenance of the elevator is like a health check. In addition to the quality of the elevator itself, strengthening the maintenance and preventive maintenance of the elevator equipment, reducing failures and downtime, can the elevator always be in good condition. Good condition ensures the safe and normal operation of the elevator and extends its service life.
