Passenger lifts have completely enclosed lift shafts that enable passengers to travel vertically to a building level. They are highly utilized in residential and commercial areas and save time and energy with their reasonably quick speed and control systems. Dutest provides expert inspection and maintenance services for passenger lifts and escalators to meet all the standardized regulatory mandates. Our inspection services help you to attain high safety and operational standards for your elevator equipment and systems with the authorization of local accreditation.

It is advisable to inspect passenger lifts once every 6 months by a competent individual who can issue a report of examination in line with the prescribed regulations according to the needs of the elevator in terms of its design and technology.

Here are some important features that should be inspected to keep your passenger lifts in good working condition.

Inside the lift: Elevators are designed with a single, double, or center opening according to the aesthetic requirements and the number of people that use the elevator daily. The elevator doors should be functional and open and close with ease. Look out for any wear and damage on the walls and ceilings. It is important to fix an emergency phone in the elevator that connects to emergency phone numbers.

Outside the lift: The door panels and clearances should be inspected. The smoke detector and fire alarm system should also be always operational.

Control room: Since elevators need a high amount of power to operate, the motor-generator should be tested and undergo a power quality survey. Conduct an oil and lubrication analysis to ensure that the machines are well lubricated and free from rusting and corrosion. Besides this, the electrical wiring should be inspected for signs of wear or defects and the machine room should be free of clutter to give the technicians sufficient space to work.

The top of the lift: Inspect the sheaves supporting structure which is a wheel that helps hoist the lift. The emergency exit hatch should also be examined to make it easily accessible to people. The brakes of the elevator should have a stable mechanism to keep it operating smoothly. The motor shaft should also be aligned properly as misalignment can cause damage to the motor bearings.

As a leader in third-party inspection services, Dutest understands the importance of safe elevator systems and aims to meet their clients demands with compliant assessments.
