Making Elevator Car Tops and Pits Great Again! Virus Free!

In 2014 we had 900 elevators in our maintenance portfolio.  In 2020 we will be surpassing 1800.  We have a wonderful group of IUEC maintenance technicians/mechanics. Part of the success we have experienced has been giving our mechanics the time to complete maintenance, which includes cleaning.  Unfortunately when we do pick up accounts from other companies, sometimes they do not look so great and require a lot of work. 

This building was working with multinational company A prior to signing up with us.  Disclaimer - sometimes the elevator mechanics for large companies do not get the time to perform maintenance because they have 500 elevators on their routes. Please find some pictures from our first visit before and after.  This is the real deal!  I love seeing this on our first(s) visit to the building.  Let’s make car tops and pits great again!  Way to go to the elevator mechanic who did this!

Why does a clean job matter?  This is a great question.  This week I spoke to a customer where I was doing engineering for a component replacement and was on the car top explaining our maintenance program. I came off all dusty and grimy.  I explained when we come on, we will clean your car top and pit so the elevator mechanic doesn't have to worry about tracking dust and grime all over your building if they want to fix something or do work.  If you have a clean car top and pit, you probably have a mechanic that is looking at other items like; door belts, starter contacts, making sure your rails are lubed, etc.  In the building I just visited, where we are starting maintenance this month, had been cavitating[making noise due to being low on oil].  The building had just spent $80,000.00 with multinational elevator company B to replace their cylinder.  The packing was leaking, oil in the pit, the solution was fixing the fitting on the reclamation pump.  This issue would be something the multinational company would have found if they took the time to inspect the elevator correctly.  Instead we have a new customer who is thrilled not to have their elevator screaming while it reaches the top floor.
