Elevator manufacturers: What are the common issues that you should pay attention to when purchasing elevators?

Elevators are very important facilities and equipment in the construction of various property supporting facilities, and they play an increasingly important role in the lives of owners and residents. In recent years, with the frequent use of elevators and the increase in various problems in management, elevator accidents have occurred repeatedly, which has also sounded the alarm for elevator manufacturers, elevator maintainers and daily elevator managers. So what aspects should we pay attention to and prevent elevator accidents? Below, the elevator manufacturer will summarize it for us!
 
Where are the dangers of elevator safety hidden?
 
As an indispensable means of transportation in high-rise buildings, the stability and safety of elevator equipment are also receiving more and more attention. For high-rise buildings, the configuration and selection of elevators are directly related to whether the entire building structure is reasonably utilized. When choosing an elevator for a high-rise building, what aspects should be considered to meet the actual needs of the high-rise building?
 
The first is speed. High-rise buildings are often 200 meters, 300 meters or more in height. Choosing a high-speed elevator is conducive to quickly transporting people during certain peak hours. For example, a direct sightseeing elevator has a speed of 8 meters per second, which can quickly send passengers to the 72nd floor (the actual floor is 59 floors). Basically, it takes more than 40 seconds to reach the floor you want to go to. Even if there are many visitors, it will not delay the passengers' time. For example, a fire elevator has a speed of 7 meters per second, which can ensure that the team members can reach any floor from the negative 4th floor within 2 minutes, providing very favorable conditions for firefighting work. Passenger elevators generally take an elevator from the first floor to the floor where they are located, and it is more appropriate to control it within 5 minutes.
 
The second is the size and number of elevators. The size of the elevator car and the number of elevators need to be reasonably matched. Choosing a large elevator (i.e. a passenger elevator with a large load capacity) can reduce the number of elevators and save building area and elevator costs, but its average interval time increases and maintenance is inconvenient; while choosing a large number of elevators with small elevator cars, although it occupies a large building area and has a high elevator cost, its transportation capacity is greatly improved, the average interval time is shortened, and elevator maintenance will not affect the normal use of passengers. It is recommended to choose an elevator with a load capacity of 1 ton, and the number of elevators is better. Generally, office buildings require about 0.3-0.5 elevators per 100 people, and 0.5 is better.
 
Third, elevators for different purposes have different requirements. Passenger elevators require speed and quantity, but for freight elevators, we found in our operations that the frequency of use of freight elevators far exceeds that of passenger elevators. Not only are they used by property management personnel for cleaning, inspection, garbage collection, etc. during the day, but they are also used for moving or transporting materials at night. The quality and management of freight elevators are also very critical. For the choice of freight elevators, you must choose first-line brands on the market, with good reputation, durability and good quality.
 
Fourth, after-sales service. It may only take one or two years to build a building, but it takes decades to use the building, and the elevator will also be used for a long time. Elevator maintenance has been closely related to property management since the building was delivered. Having an elevator maintenance unit that satisfies the owners will bring great benefits to property management.
 
How to prevent elevator safety hazards?
 
Elevator failure refers to the phenomenon that the elevator cannot work normally or seriously affects the riding comfort, or even causes personal injury or equipment accidents due to abnormalities in the elevator mechanical parts or components in the electrical control system. So what common elevator failures should residential elevators (vertical lifts) pay attention to preventing in daily use?
 
The main reasons for the failure of residential elevators in daily use are:
 
1. Improper equipment management by the elevator user (such as community property)
 
2. Improper use of passenger elevators
 
3. Inadequate maintenance by the maintenance unit
 
4. Aging of elevator parts
 
5. External reasons (such as power supply problems: unstable power supply voltage or power outage in residential areas)
