What is included

What does Periodic elevator inspection include?

Periodic inspection covers the main parts of the elevator from the shaft to the cabin, and we agree with you on what suits your building.

Machine and machine room
The machine is checked for overheating, wear and oil seepage.
Controller and wiring
The controller and connections are checked for burn marks or damaged insulation.
Landing doors and locks
The lock at every floor is checked to confirm the elevator cannot move with a door open.
Cabin, floor and ceiling
The cabin is checked inside and out, including the standby light and the audible alarm.
Ropes and counterweight
The steel ropes are checked for wear or kinking, and the counterweight is checked for unobstructed movement.
Elevator brakes
The brakes are tested under load to confirm the cabin stops without sliding.

The problem and the answer

From the problem to the answer

Inspection finds what daily use hides

An elevator that runs without complaints may carry faults passengers cannot feel: brakes that need adjustment, door locks whose resistance has weakened, and ropes that have begun to wear from the inside. These faults do not show in daily use, but they appear at the formal inspection and may lead the competent authority to order the elevator shut down.

A full check before the official date

We go through every part of the elevator with you: the machine, brakes, ropes, doors, controller and cabin, and we find what needs attention before the formal inspection reaches it. The step nobody sees is checking each floor lock separately, because wear varies from one floor to another. Call or message us on WhatsApp, tell us the age of the elevator and the number of floors, and we agree the details.

FAQ

Questions our customers ask

How do I know my elevator needs a periodic inspection now?

If more than a year has passed since the last formal inspection, or if you notice the elevator stopping repeatedly between floors or doors that are slow to open, these are signs that call for inspection. Periodic inspection is not only a formal requirement; it is the only way to find rope wear or weakened brakes before passengers notice them.

What should I prepare in the building before the periodic inspection?

Make the machine room and every floor with an elevator door easy to reach, and tell residents the elevator will be out of use temporarily during the inspection. It also helps to gather the elevator maintenance record if there is one, because the inspector uses it to understand which parts have already been replaced.

Does the periodic inspection differ between a residential building elevator and a commercial building elevator?

The focus changes rather than the core method. In commercial buildings the number of daily trips is much higher, so door locks and brakes wear faster and need more inspection time. In residential buildings wear is slower, but landing doors on upper floors often receive irregular use that differs from the lower floors, and this variation shows up in how the locks respond.

Does the age of the elevator change what the periodic inspection focuses on?

Yes. In newer elevators the inspection focuses on door adjustment and checking the electronic controller. In older elevators the ropes, brakes and counterweight take more inspection time, because the wear is cumulative and hard to see without a test under load.

Should I arrange the periodic inspection separately or link it to a maintenance contract?

Both are possible. Arranging the periodic inspection on its own suits an owner who wants to assess the elevator's condition before renewing a contract or before the formal inspection. Linking it to an annual maintenance contract means that parts found in the inspection are addressed in the following visits without needing a separate arrangement each time.
