Lift Servicing in Leeds

Posted by 2mags

A lift is also known as an elevator and will need regular lift servicing in Leeds as it carries people and if not properly maintained could cause fatal accidents. It is a vertical transport system that moves people and goods between floors in a building. It is usually installed in buildings with many floors where climbing stairs is not practical. The elevator is normally powered by electric motors that use cables and counterweights or hydraulic pistons to raise the cabin containing the goods or people. Ancient Rome had very primitive elevators that were supported by hemp ropes and driven by animals. Lifts used to be quite dangerous and were normally only used for goods but as buildings grew in height new lifts had to be designed for carrying people safely.

All machinery needs to be routinely maintained especially machinery that conveys people. In Leeds, lift servicing is the most important part of all building maintenance. The elevator needs to be checked regularly to ensure all the cables and motors are in good working order. The emergency stop buttons and communication systems must be available to be used by anyone accidently caught in a lift. Power failures cannot be avoided and provision needs to be made in case of power outages. Most lifts have air conditioning units to facilitate the influx of fresh, breathable air into the otherwise sealed lift unit.
