Protecting elevator structure against rust

A rusty elevator structure is never a good thing. Therefore, it’s important to regularly check the structure for rust spots. Moisture can cause the metal of an elevator structure to rust.

Regular maintenance of your elevator prevents problems and it increases the life span and safety of your elevator considerably. This way, your elevator will never stand still unnecessarily.

Why is de-rusting your elevator structure important?

An elevator structure is made of metal (a material which is vulnerable to moisture). Unfortunately it’s not possible to completely protect the installation from moisture, so rust is always around the corner. Rust spots are bad for the lifespan of your elevator and can – in the long run – even cause dangerous situations. Moreover, your elevator could be rejected during a periodic inspection, which means that it can no longer be used. Therefore, regular inspection and, if necessary, de-rusting of the installation is very important. By outsourcing this to a specialized company, you can be sure that the de-rusting will be done in a professional way.

Rust on the elevator structure is just one problem that can occur with an elevator. If yours is used a lot, you obviously want your elevator to never cease operations due to problems.
