Liftex Success – Nationwide Lifts In The Building

This week our Managing Director, Paul Robinson, embarked on a journey to London to attend Liftex, a prestigious event for all things lifts. The Lift and Escalator Association (LEIA) runs Liftex, which is currently in its 37th year since its humble beginnings. This event happens once every three years, so we made sure not to miss it.

Lots of lift companies and suppliers visit Liftex to showcase their products and services, and we were proud to be one of them.

Our Operations manager was in attendance, as well as two of our lift engineers, we probably looked like the next upcoming boy band. We made it clear that Nationwide Lifts were in the building. Events like this are excellent in our industry and an amazing way to network and meet new people. Liftex is a success year in year out.

Throughout the event we met up with many of our friends and suppliers in our industry. It was a remarkable opportunity to look at brand new products, meet new suppliers and talk to other experts in the lift game.

At the event, we saw our good friends at Shorts Industries, in addition to seeing Robert Gerrard, and a lot of other lift companies. The event was a great success and we enjoyed our time in London. We will be sure to attend the next Liftex.

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.

college in staffordshire

College In Staffordshire Lift Refurbishment

This week, we finished a lift refurbishment project for a college in Staffordshire. The lift was over 30 years old and in desperate need of an electrical and hydraulic upgrade. We needed to ensure the lift was safe and reliable. Before the lift refurbishment, the lift faced continuous breakdowns and long downtime.

What we did on site

Hydraulic Systems Upgraded

During our time working on the lift upgrade, we changed the complete hydraulic system to ensure the lift ran smoothly, safely and more efficient. We replaced the hydraulic tank, pump, valve block, oil and ram seals.

Control Panel Replaced

We replaced the control panel to a more modern and efficient lift control system with LIMAX levelling and great diagnostics for our engineers on site. The lift will now run in a much more reliable manner. All components we replace are open protocol and sourced in the UK.

Lift Door Operator Upgrade

We upgraded the old and unreliable door operator with an L&L operator package ensuring reliability on site for the long term.

Why You Should Get Your Lift Refurbished

Saving money in the long run – Old lifts are a lot more likely to breakdown, and the older it gets, the more it will breakdown, costing you more money in the long run and lots of downtime. If a lift is over 15 years old, we recommend getting your lift refurbished which normally includes the control system, door operator and hydraulic system.

More eco-friendly – Lift refurbishments are more eco-friendly as opposed to a new lift replacement as you only replace the main components. This saves throwing away lots of components and parts which is better on the environment.

Minimal Disruption for Your Business – This type of lift project causes less disruption; instead of dealing with the hassle of taking the lift out and putting a new one in, we simply replace the key components and parts. Delivery time is between 2 and 4 weeks.

We can normally upgrade a lift within one to two weeks, ensuring reduced downtime compared to new lifts. A new week can typically take over 8 weeks.

College In Staffordshire Overview

Time it took to complete – 10 working days

Lift Age – Over 30 years old

Project Type – Lift Refurbishment

Engineers who completed the work – Ted and Jay.

If you have a problem lift, please contact us for a lift modernisation quote. We aim to respond within 24 hours, and we would be more than happy to work with you.

Five Cornerstones

Five Cornerstones of Our Business

Are you a fan of the band Five? If so, we bet you are ecstatic about the news of their grand comeback. They dominated the charts in the early 2000s and they were everywhere.

In addition to the music, turns out they also love lifts, a bonus. Now, maybe they are not as lift-mad as us, but it is still cool to see.

Our Office Manager Nicola Shelley is going to see them live. Who knows, potentially we will win the maintenance contract for their mansions (if only).

Five are another bunch of famous musicians who are lift savvy, alongside Taylor Lift, Kendrick Lift-mar or even Emin-elevator.

Nationwide have been in the lift industry for well over 30 years. Our masterful engineers use their expert skills to get lifts sounding their best, to us, the sound of an efficient lift is a symphony of pure success. In that aspect, we are like the five of the lift industry. Speaking of Five, here are the 5 cornerstones of our business.

Anticipative lift service with an emphasis on efficiency.
Superlative lift repair with an aim to fix on the first site visit.
Resourceful Lift Modernisation with a focus on quality.
Swift and honest approach to lift breakdowns.
Jaw-droppingly good assistance with your LOLERS.

Bet you didn’t notice the first letter of each cornerstone was an initial for each Five member, did you?

Here’s an edited video of Five promoting us (credit to their TikTok account).

When it comes to lifts, we believe we are the one for (four) you, which we are confident will equal five-star customer service.

If you are having issues with your lifts, get in touch. Don’t wait until there’s a problem, we can assist you.

cost-effective lift solution

Cost-Effective Lift Solution: Lift Modernisation

Is your lift old and riddled with constant problems? Perhaps a lift modernisation is the best cost-effective lift solution for you. During a lift modernisation, we replace and upgrade all old or outdated parts. This is an excellent solution for lifts over 15 years old and can vastly improve efficiency as well as ensuring the lift is reliable. Any lift with an age exceeding 15 years old can be subject to an increased chance of lift breakdowns or may malfunction more frequently, a lift modernisation can fix this, however.

A lift modernisation is a magnificent method to minimize the chance of breakdowns, and the efficiency it brings is unparalleled. When you are not wanting the upheaval of a full lift replacement, a lift refurbishment solution from us is a splendid idea. All parts we fit are open protocol and replacements can be sourced from reliable UK suppliers, ensuring swift delivery even in the event of an emergency.

As well as being efficient, lift modernisations are also extremely cost-effective as you wouldn’t need to pay for the installation of a new lift, instead, you pay for the parts and time spent on site. This type of lift solution will save you money in the long run.

In addition to lift modernisations being a cost-effective lift solution, they are also eco-friendly. A lift modernisation is environmentally friendly because instead of installing an entirely new lift, we upgrade all parts of it. The Lift is kept where it is, but we put new parts in and improve it.

We can offer lift controller replacements, lift interior upgrades, hydraulic replacements, door upgrades or replacement lift doors. We can typically get your lift fully refurbished with a new interior and all components in 4 weeks.

Furthermore, we can offer different cost-efficient lift solutions. If you are experiencing problems, please get in contact as we can assist you with any lift issues.
