Ask These Questions Before Investing in Commercial Elevators

• How often do commercial elevators require maintenance?

Because of the higher demands placed upon the system, commercial elevators may require more maintenance by Toronto professionals than other systems. It’s recommended that your commercial elevators are serviced at least once a month. Another important consideration is safety analysis. Your elevators must undergo a safety inspection at least once per year to ensure that all safety standards are met with precision.

• What is the right style of elevator for my building?

When choosing commercial elevators for your Toronto building, make sure you consult with a conveyance expert such as the team at Bramalea Elevator.

• What is elevator modernization?

Commercial elevator modernization involves the upgrading of older conveyance systems to meet modern building codes. Modernization helps to ensure the elevator meets the required standards for performance in the long-term. It also helps mitigate issues with maintenance, that can prevent systems operating safely.

• What are the leading safety considerations for a commercial elevator?

When reviewing the need for a commercial elevator in your building, ensure that the total weight capacity of the elevator is considered. This capacity will depend upon the type of equipment being transported and the construction of the system. Heavier equipment such as vehicles and construction equipment will require a larger weight capacity. Another important consideration is redundant safety technology. The leading systems feature a number of redundant safety elements to reduce fall risks and issues related to structural damage. It’s also important to consider potential electrical failures. The system should have a safety switch that provides power in case of electrical failure throughout the building.
