Preventive Maintenance

Our preventive maintenance plans go beyond basic service to keep your elevators operating safely and efficiently. This includes regularly scheduled inspections, lubrication, testing, and proactive component replacement to reduce downtime and prevent costly repairs. We cover routine maintenance, service calls, and most repair labor which is ideal for high-traffic elevators or critical access buildings.

For buildings with lower to moderate use, we also offer basic lubrication and safety check options that meet all code requirements.

Required Testing Services

Regular testing is critical for compliance and peace of mind.

  • Category 1 Testing: Annual safety test for hydraulic and traction elevators.
