The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998, also referred to as LOLER, impose strict regulations for the safe operation and use of lifting equipment. Passenger lifts are required to be inspected every six months, while goods lifts need annual inspections. LOLER inspections are mandatory and must be strictly adhered to.

Regulation 9 of LOLER mandates that all lifts used in work activities or daily operations must undergo thorough examinations by a competent and qualified individual at regular intervals. These regulations apply to any lifts or hoists used for lifting people or loads.

If you own lifts or are responsible for their safe operation in a workplace, such as a facilities manager or supervisor, you are considered a ‘duty holder’ under LOLER regulations.

As a ‘duty holder,’ you have a legal obligation to ensure that the lift is thoroughly examined and safe to use. If you own a lift primarily used by the public, this guidance can also help you comply with broader health and safety legal duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.

We have been in the lift industry for over 30 years, and we work closely with a third party insurance company who can complete your LOLER inspections on our behalf, which helps continuity of a high level of service. We have been working with this company for a long time, and we know them as reliable and efficient.

At the end of a LOLER inspection you are given a report of the companies findings, we can help you fix any issues with your lift.

If you want to know more information about LOLER inspections, please read our LOLER page. This will tell you everything you need to know about LOLER examinations.

Please get in contact with us if you are needing help with your LOLER inspections.

Picture this: you step into a lift. What is the first thing that captures your attention? The lights? The buttons? Perhaps it’s the impending awkwardness of lift small talk? Or maybe just the mirror. The interior of a lift always catches our eye.

A lift interior captures the personality of the lift. Throughout our 30 years as a reputable lift company, we have refurbished lots of them. A lift refurbishment can improve your lift dramatically, a nice looking interior can be a subject of your customers discussions and make the lift look better.

After all, you want a pristine looking interior that ensures your lift ride is enjoyable. Whether it is your lift or you are in the middle of a busy shopping centre simply grabbing a lift to get to the next floor, a charming looking interior makes a world of difference.

Take this example of a lift refurbishment job we did for a local care home, when we arrived at site we were greeted to an old, bog-standard lift riddled with problems. After working our magic, we turned it into a swanky telephone box.

Lift Refurbishment is an excellent solution to give an old lift a brand-new life. If you are not wanting the hassle of getting a new lift installed, a lift modernisation solution from us is a great idea. All the parts we fit are open protocol and replacements can be sourced from UK suppliers, speeding up delivery in the event of an emergency.

A Lift Breakdown is where a lift abruptly stops working, the cause of this may be human error (like overloading the lift, overuse etc) or faults with the machinery or controls. A lift breakdown is a major problem as it can disrupt businesses, interrupt daily routines and cause other hosts of problems, especially in industries and buildings where a working lift is paramount, like care homes or hospitals.

Unfortunately there is always a looming chance of a lift breakdown happening. At Nationwide Lift Services our goal is to cut down the chance of a lift breakdown occuring to as little as possible, and when a lift breakdown occurs, we know how to deal with it and we aim to sort it as soon as possible.

We have handled lifts breaking down for 30+ years, so by choosing us to fix your lift you are in good hands. We always get to site in excellent timing and we work around the clock to ensure we fix the lift on the first site visit.

Common causes of lift breakdowns

Door Malfunctions – over half of lift breakdowns are caused by door malfunctions so making sure the lift doors are working and in good condition is important. the cause of door malfunctions can range from worn out rollers, faulty sensors or broken locks. To prevent these issues, we come on site and thoroughly clean the door tracks and make sure this is done regularly, we look at the sensors, making sure they are clear and not faulty or damaged and we also lubricate any moving parts, making sure they arent stiff or worn. If the doors bang together harshly, take longer or quicker than normal to open/close or squeak, you should get a lift maintenance visit scheduled.

Electrical Faults – electrical faults (such as power outages, faulty wiring and control system issues) are a frequent contributer to lift breakdowns, signs of electrical failures can include lifts not responding, any sort of unusual, out of the ordinary noises, and erratic lift behaviour. To fix this we come on site and check electrical components and wiring, reducing the risk of electrical failures which makes the chance of a lift breakdown less likely. Pay attention to the noise levels, get someone to go in the lift and record, then watch it back and listen for louder sound than normal, listen for any banging, scratching or scraping sounds, any unusual noise is a problem and you should call us so we can sort the issues before they cause a breakdown.

Lift maintenance and its role in preventing lift breakdowns

A lift maintenance is when an engineer visits a site to investigate the lift, this may be for problems or just a general check to ensure the lift is safe and works properly. you should have regular lift maintenance visits. During a lift maintenance visit an experienced engineer will throughly inspect the lift, and fix any sort of problem the lift has, this can solve the problems before they become more serious.

With regular lift maintenance it can greatly reduce the chance of a lift breakdown, minimise disruption to your business, meaning your staff will be able to get back to their duties in better time and ultimately save you money. You can read more about lift maintenance in our blog that we posted.

How to prepare for the event of a lift breakdown

When a lift breakdown occurs you need to be prepared, in this event you need to take swift action. our phone line is 24/7 and we aim to get to the breakdown as soon as possible and get the lift working with minimal disruption. Regular lift maintenance and checking it regularly can help prevent a lift breakdown from occurring. Some ways to prepare include.

Getting your lift checked regulary – get all your lifts checked by a qualfied engineer on a regular basis. A passenger lift is required to have 2 maintenance visits per year (1 for a goods lift) we recommend 4 lift maintenance visits (one visit every 3 months) if its regularly used and important for residents or staff (eg. in a care home or hospital) more frequent lift maintenance may be necessary. Getting your lift checked can help you spot problems and set them right before they cause a lift breakdown or entrapment.

Keep spare lift parts available – keep spare parts of the lift somewhere safe (eg. a cupboard or storage unit) so when an engineer visits site it will take them less time to fix the lift, we do not recommend you fix the lift yourself, let an experienced engineer handle it. there are 272 million hours of global downtime yearly for lifts so keeping spare parts can reduce downtime for your business and get things back up and running quicker.

Trap-ins and what to do if you or someone else is trapped in a lift

A trap in is where a person gets stuck in a lift, its rarely like in the movies where the lift just plummets down floors but this can still rarely happen. Entrapment is a very serious problem where serious injury or death can occur, you and the lift company can be held liable if your lift is clearly unsafe, so making sure your lift is safe is important. You can read more about lift regulations here. if you or someone else is trapped in a lift, this is what you should do.

Stay calm, but make noise – a trap-in is a very stressful event but trying to stay calm will help as when help arrives, you can communicate well and get yourself and everyone else out safely. if you cant call for help shout periodically for aid or bang on the elevator walls.

Call emergency services – if you are trapped in the lift, there is a red emergency button, if you press this it will call the lift company responsible for the lift, as well as the emergency services. The lift company must have a working emergency button for any lift that is installed. If the emergency button doesnt work, call 999 off your mobile phone.

Message or call friends or family members – If you have no internet connection, message friends or family members alerting them on the situation and tell them to call 999, you should also give them the address of the building you are in.

Use your phones flashlight – in the event of a breakdown the lights may cut out, if this happens you should use your phones flashlight to locate the buttons on the lift, also put your phones brightness on max. If your phone is out of charge, refer to tip 1 and 2.

Dont attempt to free yourself – things like trying to break the door or attempting to pry it open can only make things worse and we wouldn’t recommend doing this as it can be unsafe and you wouldn’t know where abouts the lift broke down.

Conclusion

A lift breakdown is often a lift stalling, rest assured the occurence of a lift plummeting is rare. At Nationwide Lift Services we take all calls about a lift breakdown very seriously. We have a 24/7 helpline that takes you straight to one of our staff instead of a call centre, meaning we can get to you as quickly as possible.

At Nationwide Lift Services we have done a lot of lift projects from modernisation and repairs, one thing we are also known for is our lift service projects. When we are on site our objective is to maintain the lift to the highest standard possible

1. Safety First: Ensuring the safety of passengers is our top priority. Regular maintenance helps identify and rectify potential hazards before they escalate, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.

2. Reliability: A well-maintained lift operates smoothly, minimizing downtime and inconvenience to users. With regular upkeep, we guarantee reliable performance, keeping your building’s operations running seamlessly.

3. Prolonged Lifespan: Just like any machinery, lifts require care to extend their lifespan. Routine maintenance prevents premature wear and tear, saving you from costly repairs and premature replacements.

4. Compliance and Regulations: Adhering to industry regulations and safety standards is non-negotiable. Regular maintenance ensures your lifts comply with legal requirements, shielding you from potential liabilities.

5. Cost-Efficiency: Investing in preventive maintenance is far more cost-effective than dealing with emergency repairs. By identifying and addressing issues early on, we help you avoid expensive breakdowns and their associated downtime costs.

6. Enhanced Performance: A well-maintained lift operates at peak performance, providing swift and efficient transportation for occupants. This translates to improved tenant satisfaction and enhanced property value.

Our engineers are tasked on breakdowns to find the issue and rectify if possible or source the parts required. We don’t just turn up to do a quick reset and charge you.

Traditional lift maintenance means our experienced lift engineers have more time to look after your lifts on site. By offering the right lift service, our engineers can help cut down on call-outs, breakdowns and costs.

When doing a lift repair, making sure the lift works and making sure there are no future problems is our top priority. We recently faced a challenging situation where a client’s lift went out of service. The initial assessment from their current supplier suggested a very costly repair with a lengthy downtime, estimated to be in the thousands. The client was understandably concerned about the financial and operational impact.

Our dedicated team at Nationwide Lift Services quickly sprang into action. Instead of opting for the expensive overhaul, our experts meticulously diagnosed the issue and identified key components that could be replaced to get the lift back in operation.

Within just 48 hours, we had the lift fully operational, saving the client significant time and money!

Recently we completed a Lift Refurbishment in stoke, we gave a lift in Stoke a serious glow-up. Picture this: the lift used to be just your regular, run-of-the-mill lift, but after we worked our magic, it’s now a swanky telephone box. Yes, you heard that right! You can chat with your mates and travel between floors at the same time. How’s that for multitasking?

We swapped out the lift control system, door operator, hydraulic tank, and all those electrical bits that nobody ever understands. And while we were busy doing that, we couldn’t help but admire the client’s quirky decor choice. Who knew refurbishing lifts could be so entertaining?

A lift refurbishment isn’t just about making things shiny and new. It’s about boosting safety, comfort, and style. Especially in places like care homes where every minute counts.

We like to think of ourselves as lift service experts in Staffordshire. Our lift engineers are highly trained in traditional lift maintenance. We do not just turn up for a visual inspection of your lift, nor do we rush the service visit. 

Our lift technicians are trained to do a full risk assessment of your lift equipment on site. This means that it is our goal to make sure we know all work that needs to be done to improve the lift safety and regulations. Often our lift service experts are on site for two or three hours doing a detailed report for our customers. And we don’t charge anymore for this as we work with partners with all our customers.

Nationwide Lift Services offer an excellent lift service to all our customers in the Staffordshire region that include care homes, local councils, NHS and retail clients. We truly understand our customers needs and we work very closely with all our customers.

Did you know the minimum lift maintenance requirement is two visits per annum and not four? We think two very good thorough visits is better than four rushed ones like some companies do.

Our engineers are tasked on breakdowns to find the issue and rectify if possible or source the parts required. We don’t just turn up to do a quick reset and charge you.

Traditional lift maintenance means our experienced lift engineers have more time to look after your lifts on site. By offering the right lift service, our engineers can help cut down on call-outs, breakdowns and costs.

Nationwide Lift Services can also do LOLER inspections nationwide for all types of lifts and escalators. LOLER also requires that all equipment used for lifting is fit for purpose, appropriate for the task, suitably marked and, in many cases, subject to statutory periodic ‘thorough examination‘. Records must be kept of all thorough examinations and any defects found must be reported to both the person responsible for the equipment and the relevant enforcing authority.

We have recently been working on a lift refurbishment project in Liverpool for a care home. During our time on site (5 days), we replaced the lift control system, door operator, hydraulic tank and all other electrical components.

A Lift Refurbishment can improve the safety, comfort and appearance of a lift in an existing building. For sites where downtime is key, say in an existing care home where the lift is crucial, we can offer this solution. We can deliver and install a new control system, all associated wiring and controls within 3 weeks from order. We can also offer new lift interiors, lift door upgrades and like with new lifts, we can do any associated building or electrical work. A lift refurbishment or lift upgrade is a great solution to make your lift more efficient, faster, safer and more reliable.

A Lift Refurbishment is a great way to revitalise an existing lift, when you are not wanting the upheaval of a full lift replacement, a solution from us is a good idea. Lift upgrades are basically a replacement of all key electrical components which ensures that the lift is more reliable. The LEIA advise that a lift modernisation is considered on lifts over 15 years old. These are a quick and environmentally friendly solution.

All parts we fit are open protocol and replacements can be sourced from UK suppliers helping to speed up delivery in an emergency.

We can offer lift controller replacements, lift interior upgrades, hydraulic replacements, door upgrades or replacement lift doors. We also offer the complete turnkey solution for our clients by offering builders-work and electrical work as part of our package. We can often get your lift fully refurbished

We have just completed a lift modernisation in Nottingham for a care home group we work with in the east and west midlands.

We replaced the old control system for a new DMG controller, including new car top controls, pushes, COP, positioning equipment and wiring. We also fitted a new floor, lighting and wrapped the walls to give the lift a fresh feel.

All this work was completed within 5 working days.
