URGENT SAFETY NOTICE

Elevators installed with more than 4 inches of “gap space” between the hoistway doors and the elevator car doors can pose a serious safety risk. Children may become entrapped in the space and could be seriously injured or killed. This risk can be reduced with the proper installation of space guards at each floor.

What You Should Be Asking Your Elevator Company

What You Should Be Asking Your Elevator Company

Here are some of the questions you should ask your elevator company.

A home elevator is a wonderful and convenient feature to have for your home. They are perfect for anyone who may have difficulty getting up and down the stairs safely. Before you install a new elevator, however, you first need to pick an elevator company to help you. Unfortunately, not all companies will be worth trusting, which is why you need to ask some questions before you commit to one. Here are some of the questions you should ask your elevator company.

“What Elevator Types Do You Know?

Elevators come in different varieties, so you need to be sure that the elevator company you’re hiring is familiar with the type of elevator you want. Without experience building the kinds of elevators you want, their employees might have a tougher time performing the installation safely and successfully.

“How Often Do You Do Safety Training Refreshers?

It’s important for staff to receive ongoing training regarding how to safely construct elevators. That’s why you should ask your elevator company how often they provide training sessions to their employees. If your company doesn’t give their staff ongoing training, it could be a safety risk when they try to install your elevator.

“Does Your Company Have the Resources That are Needed to Perform the Installation?”

In order to construct an elevator, you need to have the right tools. Without the right tools, the elevator you get will likely suffer in terms of quality. That’s why you should ask your elevator company if they can access the necessary tools to construct a high-quality elevator for you. If the company you’re considering can’t confirm whether or not they’re able to get these tools, it’s likely for the best that you find another company to hire.
