Lifts are reliable methods of travel, and for businesses, they can be a game-changer. However, there will come a point where your lift will need an upgrade, so when is the best time?
Well, the industry normally recommends that if your lift is over 15 years old, it may be time for a lift upgrade.
Signs Your Lift Could Be Due For An Upgrade
Outdated or old parts – If the parts for your lift are past their life span or not fit for purpose, this could be why your lift is breaking down. If this is the case, we highly recommend upgrading them.
Persistent breakdowns – if your lift is always breaking down, even after a recent repair or maintenance visit, it could mean your lift is reaching the end of its life. A lift upgrade can resolve this and reduce the chance of further breakdowns.
High energy usage – High energy usage can mean unnecessary harm for the environment, and a lift reaching the end of its life can contribute to this. A refurbished lift is less energy consuming than a replacement lift and better for the environment.
Non-compliance with newer safety regulations – If your lift is old, it might mean its not complying with current safety regulations. Investing in a lift upgrade can ensure it complies with all lift regulations.
Quick Delivery and Installation – Parts for the lift refurbishment can take roughly 2 to 4 weeks to arrive. For the refurbishment itself we can install it within roughly 7 working days. In comparison, a new lift can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.
A lift refurbishment is an excellent investment that can stand the test of time. It can turn an old faulty lift to an efficient, reliable ride that seems like its brand new. Lift upgrades have untold benefits such as:
- Improved Performance and Longer Lifespan
- Minimal Disruption For Your Business
- Environmentally friendly
- Cost Effective
