Maintaining your lift

Lift Maintenance and Its Importance

As a seasoned lift company with years of experience ensuring vertical transportation efficiency, we cannot emphasize enough the critical importance of regular lift maintenance. Lifts are the lifelines of buildings, facilitating seamless movement and accessibility for occupants. Here’s why regular maintenance is paramount:

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.

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.

At Nationwide Lift Services, we take pride in our proactive approach to lift maintenance. Our team of skilled technicians is dedicated to keeping your lifts operating safely, reliably, and efficiently. Don’t compromise on the safety and performance of your vertical transportation – trust the experts for regular lift maintenance.

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.

Feel free to reach out to schedule a face-to-face consultation and discuss your requirements in detail.

care home lift specialist

Care Home Lift Specialist

Nationwide Lifts are a care home lift specialist and have built an outstanding reputation as a reliable supplier for the care home industry and the NHS. We understand the importance that lifts have in a care home and reducing downtime is very important.

Our local lift engineers are highly trained on all types of lifts in care homes and aim to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Our engineers are trained to find the root cause of the problem and not just to reset the lift and turn it back on. Our plan is to ensure the lift is reliable for the long term to save our clients downtime and also costs on breakdowns.

As a care home lift specialist we understand the importance of having a functional working lift for your care home. We believe in fixing problems before they happen, our highly trained engineers will spend more time on site and identify and fix problems before they happen, this prevents entrapment and breakdowns in the short and long term.

For sites where downtime is key, say in an existing care home where the lift is crucial we can offer a lift modernisation. Care homes often have lifts that are old and in need of lift upgrade work. 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 modernisation or lift upgrade is a great solution to make your lift more efficient, faster, safer and more reliable.

We make sure to have excellent customer service at all times. Our customer service is 24/7 and calls are always answered by a member of the Nationwide Lift Services team, not a out of hours call centre.

If you have any problem lifts at your care home (lifts that repeatedly go wrong) please contact us on 01782562000 or info@nationwideliftservices.co.uk

Passenger Lift by Hi-Tec Lifts

School Lift Project Win in Wolverhampton

We have recently secured a School Lift order for a project in Wolverhampton.

Having worked with the architects on this School Lift project early, we got to understand their restrictions on site. The design of the building only allowed for a reduced lift pit and reduced headroom space. The architect wanted the lift to look and feel like a normal passenger lift for this exciting local project. By working with architects and clients early on, we can assist with lift designs, lift drawings and lift specifications. This allows us to specify the right lift for their school in Wolverhampton, taking into account usage, space available, appearance and cost.

Our passenger lift solution for this project was ideal. Our lift can be connected up and run on only single phase power. It has a reduced lift pit and also reduced headroom space. The lift interior looks the same as any other high quality passenger lift with stainless steel walls, mirror, handrail, LED lights and rubber floor. The doors are also fully automatic and finished in stainless steel. The lift is very quiet and the ride quality is very good. The lift fully complies to DDA requirements, yet make the customer feel more secure when using it.

At Nationwide Lifts we have been supplying and installing passenger lifts and goods lifts now for 30 years. We have installed over 1000 lifts in our history and have been involved in projects all over the UK. We have installed all types of passenger lifts, goods lifts, platform lifts and access products in this time. We have installed lifts in residential apartments, schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, colleges, universities over the years. Our engineers are very experienced on all types of lift equipment.

We can also offer lift maintenance, lift repairs and lift modernisation work in the Midlands and North West. So if we can assist with a lift breakdown, lift repair, lift servicing or a new lift please telephone us on 01782 562000 or contact us here.
