Built to Last – Old Lifts And Their Lifespan

Posted by admin on with 0 Comment

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.

college in staffordshire

College In Staffordshire Lift Refurbishment

Posted by admin on with 0 Comment

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.

Cost-Effective Lift Solution: Lift Modernisation

Posted by admin on with 0 Comment

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.

LOLER inspection assistance

LOLER Inspection Assistance – Nationwide Lifts Can Help You

Posted by admin on with 0 Comment

At Nationwide Lift Service, we can provide you with LOLER inspection assistance. We work in collaboration with a third-party insurance company that can complete your LOLER inspections on our behalf, which helps the continuity of an excellent level of service. We have worked closely with this insurance company for many years, and they are reliable. We are sure, with this insurance company, that your LOLER inspections are done to a high standard.

The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 often shortened to LOLER have stringent regulations for the safe and efficient use of any lifting equipment. LOLER inspections are required every 6 months on passenger lifts and every 12 months on goods lifts. These are legal requirements that must be followed to the letter, otherwise penalties may occur.

We have looked after lifts for well over 30 years and have vast experience in sectors such as care homes, retail companies, councils, private hospitals, colleges, and schools. Throughout our time in service, we have built a reputation of being exceptional with customers, and we have also been recognised for our efficient method of working. We have also been efficient at providing LOLER inspection assistance.

We work around the clock to ensure your lifts are up to shape. Furthermore, we are 24/7 and all calls go to one of our staff members, rather than a call centre. Due to this, you are always going to be speaking to someone within the company. We also offer tailor-made quotes and service, as a one-size-fits-all approach is something we don’t believe in.

If you require a reliable lift supplier for your business, look no further. If you are having difficulties, please get in touch with us.

Glass Lift

Glass Lift Refurbishment – Case Study

Posted by admin on with 0 Comment

This week we finished a glass lift refurbishment project for a national retail store. We look after the client’s lift portfolio throughout the UK doing all types of lift repairs, lift refurbishments, breakdowns and lift maintenance.

What we did on site

Glass Lift Door Overhaul

During our time working on the lift refurbishment, we upgraded the door operator to an L&L which allowed the doors to run smoothly and more efficiently. We also replaced the lift door locks and rollers, giving the client piece of mind without major upheaval.

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 glass lift will now run in a much more reliable manner. All components we replace are open protocol and manufactured in the UK.

Benefits Of Getting 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.

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.

Quick to install – We can normally get a lift upgraded within one to two weeks, ensuring reduced downtime in comparison to new lifts (typically 8 weeks).
