Elevator shaft maintenance

Properly maintaining and cleaning an elevator shaft is important for fire safety and the lifespan of an elevator. It reduces malfunctions and ensures everyone can step into the elevator with peace of mind. Moreover, a clean elevator shaft has an aesthetic value, especially when it’s made of glass. Maintaining and cleaning an elevator shaft requires specialist knowledge. At Extra Lift Service, we know all about cleaning and maintaining elevators. Does the elevator in your building need maintenance? We’re happy to tell you about the various activities involved in properly maintaining an elevator shaft.

Removing dust

Making the elevator shaft dust-free is done from the elevator car roof. Dusting is one of the most important parts of elevator maintenance. Although a little dust may seem harmless, it can cause annoying malfunctions and even dangerous situations. Keeping all components in the shaft dust-free reduces malfunctions and increases fire safety. When carrying out these works, Extra Lift Service’s experts take a meticulous approach, in order to guarantee the operation and safety of the elevator.

Removing grease

Making the elevator shaft dust-free is not all there is to it. It’s very important that the guides of an elevator car are properly greased. The problem however, is that this grease often spreads throughout the elevator over time – which has a negative impact on the lifespan of the elevator. Therefore, after making the elevator dust-free, Extra Lift Service also makes the elevator grease-free. We make sure only the guides are greasy and the rest of the elevator is properly degreased. By doing this, we extend the lifespan and proper functioning of the elevator considerably.

Washing of glass shafts

Do you have a gorgeous elevator shaft made of glass? Then you probably have the outsides regularly cleaned by a window cleaner. After all, you want to make sure this eye-catcher looks good. Only, a window cleaner is not allowed to clean the inside of the elevator shaft without. This job requires a special certification. Fortunately, Extra Lift Service has one. Besides making elevator shafts dust- and grease-free, we can also clean glass elevator shafts for you. This doesn’t affect the operation of the elevator, but it does look a lot neater and more representative. We often wash glass elevator shafts for hotels, chain stores and train or bus stations. Here, a glass elevator shaft is quite the eye-catcher of the building.
