Elevator maintenance: Keeping your lift running smoothly
Lifts are an integral part of modern living, transporting millions of people every day in buildings across New Zealand and the rest of the globe. However, like any mechanical system, elevators require regular maintenance to ensure they operate efficiently and safely. By neglecting your elevator maintenance, you risk costly repairs, down time, and even creating hazardous situations. To help you, your family or business keep safe, we suggest the following:
Schedule regular inspections
A routine inspection schedule is crucial for identifying potential issues before they escalate. An elevator technician should conduct thorough inspections according to manufacturer recommendations and regulations. Cremer Lifts has a dedicated team of trained lift technicians to assist with inspections and lift servicing.

Address any repairs promptly, as soon as you notice them
Even small issues such as an unusual noise or slow door operation should not be ignored. Addressing these issues as soon as they arise prevents them from developing into larger issues.
