ELEVATOR TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting elevator problems can be difficult considering the sheer number of moving parts involved, as well as the knowledge and experience required to know exactly how all those parts function together. Depending on the size of your building, and the manufacturer of its elevator systems, troubleshooting the root cause of an elevator malfunction can be like diving down a rabbit hole.
Among the more common elevator problems:
- Slow wait times: As elevators age and relays wear down, their performance slows and becomes less efficient. An experienced elevator technician will know when to replace relays or when a full-scale replacement is in order.
- Overheating: Especially during summer, drives and control systems that are not adequately cooled can exceed 100 degrees in temperature, increasing the chances of an elevator breakdown.
- Sudden Stops or Abrupt Landings: Timing issues, electrical failures, and faulty electronics all make landings more rough than they should be, or travel jerky and shifty. Routine maintenance can virtually eliminate these potential problems.
- Sensor or Power Failures: Sensor failures and backup generator problems might not only keep elevator doors from opening, but may also prevent the elevator system from operating entirely. Regular elevator inspections are a crucial first step in maintaining the smooth, efficient function of your systems.

Hydraulic elevator repair
Proper hydraulic elevator repair is not only reactive, but proactive as well, addressing current issues while considering—and preparing for—possible future problems.
Keep your hydraulic elevator safe and up to code.
Elevator jack replacement
An elevator jack replacement is an investment that pays for itself in increased safety and optimized operation, and extends the life of your elevator systems. But an elevator jack is a complex and crucial component with many functioning parts. You need a trusted, experienced team to ensure the job is done quickly and correctly.
Over time, corroded or leaky welds can occur that cause elevators to descend at uncontrolled speeds due to the loss of oil or pressure in the cylinder. We can rest assured all replacement jacks will operate with enhanced safety features and compliance above and beyond all applicable codes.
Optimize elevator systems safety and performance.
Traction elevator repairs
Traction—or cable—elevator systems are made up of numerous parts that are susceptible to wear and tear over time. Geared traction elevators in particular take a beating due to the great amount of friction and grinding of gears during operation. Much like a car engine, when the bearings and gears deteriorate beyond repair, they must be replaced. Motors, brake assemblies, guide shoes and buffers also tend to wear down, creating safety and operational hazards that can cause property damage as well as personal injury.
Your elevator repair company should have the expertise and experience to know when parts or systems require simple maintenance, repair or replacement. We are that team.
