What Are the Benefits of Elevator and Escalator Assessments?
Regular elevator and escalator assessments are vital for ensuring safety, compliance, and long-term value. Frequent elevator and escalator maintenance assessment services can:
Improve safety: We uncover hidden issues during property acquisition with an elevator or escalator due diligence assessment. Our services help you identify potential safety hazards, such as issues uncovered through elevator door lock monitoring.
Ensure compliance: We help you confirm compliance with changing regulatory standards, including local and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) requirements.
Extend lifespan: We extend equipment lifespan and reduce costly emergency repairs with proactive elevator hydraulic oil testing.
Simplify capital planning: Our services support capital planning through accurate budgeting for upcoming repairs or replacements.
Provide peace of mind: We provide peace of mind for building owners, managers, and tenants by demonstrating a proactive approach to safety and maintenance.
Hydraulic Oil Testing
Research shows that 80% of all oil-related failures and breakdowns are caused by contaminated oil (CC Jenson). For hydraulic elevators, oil is essential to proper operation. Most often, the elevator’s power unit oil will last the lifetime of your equipment, but if it is contaminated, it can result in failures of components, like seals, valves, submersible motors, and piston rods. Since uncontaminated oil lasts many years (or forever), before replacing your oil, get an independent oil test from an unbiased third party.
Our elevator hydraulic oil testing service evaluates the condition of your power unit’s oil, helping to prevent component failure and unnecessary replacements. By scheduling regular oil tests with ATIS, you can avoid premature wear to seals, valves, submersible motors, and piston rods, protecting your investment and facilitating smooth, uninterrupted operation.
Due Diligence
Elevators are the most expensive asset in a building. As a buyer, you need to understand the equipment’s precise current condition, potential liabilities, and future costs. In a Due Diligence Assessment, our engineers and experts conduct a comprehensive analysis of the equipment and components. This allows you to avoid future costly surprises and leverage unbiased data to negotiate the purchase price based on the assets’ real value.
ATIS engineers conduct a thorough evaluation of all major equipment and components. This service allows you to negotiate with accurate data and avoid future surprises, helping protect your bottom line.
Condition and Maintenance Assessments
Condition and Maintenance Assessments will help guide future decisions regarding your maintenance provider and service level, help with capital planning, and could eliminate unnecessary shutdowns. Get an expert, unbiased analysis of your elevator and escalators’ maintenance and lifespan.
Our specialists deliver detailed reports on the condition of your systems, your existing maintenance practices, and projected needs. With this information, you can optimize maintenance contracts, plan for upgrades, and avoid unscheduled shutdowns that disrupt business operations.
Door Lock Monitoring Assessments
Door Lock Monitoring (DLM) systems keep elevators fully locked in place until the doors are closed. Some jurisdictions already require DLM in accordance with ASME A17.3. Other jurisdictions are adopting this critical safety requirement.
ATIS uses elevator door lock monitoring assessments to verify compliance and offer straightforward recommendations. Our inspection will determine the DLM compliance status, then we will advise you on the most cost-effective options. Let us give you unbiased guidance so you can better protect building occupants and maintain regulatory adherence.
