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.
