Hello,
I'm working on a new elevator maintenance specifications for our elevator portfolio. Based on past experience we've observed that for some buildings, the elevator technicians complete their scheduled maintenance items within 15-20 minutes, even for annual maintenance related items. This makes one think if the equipment is being maintained as per the specifications or manufacutrer's maintenance schedules. Unfortunately, the only metric to track deficient maintenance is when the elevator breaks down suddenly or the inspector cites any deficiencies.
I wanted to inquire if it is industry practice to have the technician require to spend minimum, service time on the equipment to ensure that the elevator is being maintained properly. For e.g. for hydraulic elevator in less than 5-storey building, min. time required for the technician to conduct maintenance work should be 1 hour, whereas for building with greater than 5-storey, min. time should be 2 hours.
Are such minimum service times used in industry for proper maintenance of geared, gearless, hydraulic elevators and lifts?
Thank you.
