Some common lift problems which employees are facing..

A lift is the base of any building, and along with providing structural support, a lift ensures the building offers access and transportation to employees within it.

Careful planning is essential when installing a new lift, as it doesn’t just have to be functional, it also needs to be safe.

Take a look at five things to consider when planning and  installing a lift in your office building.

1. Capacity

Before any type of planning can begin, you will need to know the following things:

•        You must know the expected capacity of your building along with expected passenger waiting times, as these factors will impact your overall lift requirements.
•          There are many guidelines to refer to in order to calculate this, which take into consideration the building’s function, the amount of employees and how they are distributed throughout the building.
•          For example, when there are more than 20 floors, a single grouping would not be ideal as it would result in long travel times and could easily become congested during busy times during the day.

2. Safety

Perhaps one of the most important elements to consider when planning a lift installation is safety.

·         It is incredibly important to choose the right type of lift for your project. Primarily, the lift should be able to bear the weight of people when at maximum capacity, and secondly, the lift needs to be fitted with a functioning alarm system that can be used if the lift were to break down.

·         In the UK, lifts installed to be used by people in the workplace are subject to the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) and Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER).

·       The business (duty holder) is legally responsible for ensuring that the lift is examined and is safe to use. The lift must be In addition to routine maintenance, detailed and thorough examinations of the lift need to be carried out regularly by a competent person.

3. Long wait times

There’s nothing worse than being in a massive rush to get upstairs to the office, only for the lift to decide to go at snail’s pace. If your lift is taking too long to make its way between floors, then this tends to be a sign of the age and overall use of the machine. Don’t ignore these safety warning signs, otherwise you may be running the risk of breakdown as replacing the mechanical relay system may be essential.

 4. Lift Design

While safety is paramount when planning to install a lift, a good installation should also focus on the aesthetic aspects of the lift.

·         If your lift is being installed in a new, modern office or another more refined environment, it is important that it ties in with the overall design and decor of the building.

·         However, bear in mind that as much as scenic, glass lifts look attractive, the more complicated the lift design, the more complicated it will be to maintain. Scenic lifts generally work best in low rise building or in collaboration with standard passenger lifts and escalators.
