Elevator maintenance

It may not be something you think about every day, but when you’re responsible for an elevator, periodic maintenance is extremely important. Not only do you want to spare people the inconvenience of a stationary elevator, good maintenance is also very important for safety. It will help to discover any defects early on and the elevator will continue to work properly and safely. Cleaning and maintaining an elevator is a specialized job, so leave your elevator maintenance to Extra Lift Service. With our years of experience, we know everything there is to know about maintaining elevators properly. We will make sure your elevator can be used optimally and safely.

Maintaining your elevator the right way

When maintaining and cleaning an elevator, several activities are important. Some are necessary to keep the elevator working properly and safely, while others are more about the appearance of the elevator. At Extra Lift Service, we have expertise in different types of elevator maintenance: from cleaning and dust removal to preventive maintenance. We will gladly look at what is needed for your elevator.

Shaft cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning and maintaining the elevator shaft are some of the most important types of elevator maintenance. Keeping the shaft dust-free reduces malfunctions and increases fire safety, whereas de-greasing the elevator extends its lifespan considerably. Extra Lift Service is also certified to wash the inside of glass elevator shafts. This job will make your elevator look neat and representative again.

Elevator pit cleaning and maintenance

In an elevator pit, leaks can occur. Due to groundwater or building leaks, or due to oil from the elevator installation. Both leaks are dangerous for the functioning of the elevator and need to be fixed as soon as possible. Extra Lift Service can clean up these leaks for you and will, in case of an oil leak, dispose of the oil in an environmentally responsible manner. Moreover, we can degrease the elevator pit, so that mechanics can work more safely. Have you had several leaks due to groundwater? We can impregnate the elevator pit, to prevent this inconvenience in the future.

Protecting the structure in the elevator

An elevator structure is made of metal. When this material comes into contact with moisture, it can start to rust. As you probably know, rust is bad for the lifespan of the elevator. By de-rusting and painting the elevator construction, Extra Lift Service extends the lifespan of your elevator.

Treating stainless steel in the elevator car

Both the exterior and interior (the car) of the elevator are often made of stainless steel. Due to frequent use, this material gets easily scratched and damaged. To keep your elevator clean and presentable, it’s best to let Extra Lift Service treat the stainless steel. We will remove any scratches for you and we’ll make sure the elevator looks good again. In case you’re afraid of vandalism and pollution, it’s also possible to treat the elevator with a special coating.
