Lift upgrades for the care industry

Lift Upgrades For The Care Industry

We have done multiple lift upgrades for the care industry and NHS all around the UK. We are working in collaboration with a client in the North West, Yorkshire, and Midlands who is investing heavily in their lift portfolio by investing in lift refurbishment and modernisation work across many sites. Their philosophy is simple “if it needs to be done to make sure the lift is safe and efficient, then we will invest”. It is great to work as true partners with this care home group, ensuring their staff and residents get the best level of service from their lifts.

Control System

We replaced the lift control system, shaft positioning system, car top controls, car controls, landing controls, position indicators, safety edges and all associated wiring. The lift’s electrical system was around 25 years old with obsolete parts for a few years now. This upgrade now ensures the lift is reliable and safe with spare parts readily available when required. Thanks all at Shorts for your continued support and help as always.

Hydraulics

During our time on site, we upgraded all the hydraulic systems (new tank, valve block, pump, and oil), which were old and needed replacing. Upgraded hydraulics can help reduce the chance of lift breakdowns, make the lift more reliable, improve ride quality and make floor levelling more accurate. Upgrading the hydraulics can also increase the efficiency of the lift and minimise noise at the Care Home.

Door Operator

We upgraded the door operator due to it’s age (25 years old) and unreliability. Now the new door operator is working like they are supposed to, efficient and smooth. Door operator upgrades massively improve your lift reliability, as many breakdowns are door related.

old lifts

Built to Last – Old Lifts And Their Lifespan

At Nationwide Lift Services, we see various types of lifts daily, including platform lifts, goods lifts, and so on. However, something that always catches our eye is old lifts. Many years ago, lifts were built to last , they were manufactured to last a long time and have proved to be efficient, some are even still working properly today.

This lift that we found on site recently was a whopping 55 years old, and it is still running today. This lift was installed by a company who were found in 1934. The lift we found was a spectacle, truly a pinnacle of elevators, it was installed in a bustling retail store in London. Our engineer Craig (who took these pictures) has an eye for old lifts and even had the opportunity to do work on this lift.

Lifts have come a long way since they were invented, and it is exciting to see how they will evolve in the future.

Nationwide Lift Services have a rich history in the lift industry, with over 30 years of experience in lifts. We have completed countless jobs, from lift maintenance, lift repairs, lift modernisation and lift installations. No matter the type of lift, it is not an issue for us as our experience extends to all types of lifts, from passenger lifts, goods lifts, platform lifts and more.

We are a company dedicated to making you a happy customer, with 24/7 service and an expert team of engineers. If you are experiencing any lift related issues please get in touch, our excellent team can help you out.
