▬ Quick steps to take when your lift breaks down. ▬
What to Do If a Lift Breaks Down?
Stay Calm and Ensure Safety: Immediately stop using the lift and ensure all passengers exit if they are inside. Instruct others to avoid using the lift until it’s repaired.
Contact the Lift Repair Service: Reach out to a professional lift repair company like Deltron Lifts. Make sure to provide the lift’s location, model, and any visible issues.
Check for Obvious Issues: If it’s safe to do so, check if there are any simple causes of the breakdown, like a power cut or obstruction in the door. However, do not attempt to fix the lift yourself.
Use Emergency Features: Many lifts have emergency communication systems (e.g., an intercom or emergency button) — use these to alert authorities or building management.
Wait for Professional Help: Do not attempt to repair the lift yourself. Wait for a certified professional to inspect and repair the lift to ensure safety and compliance.
By following these steps, you can manage the situation safely and efficiently while waiting for expert repair services.

Preventing and Managing Lift Breakdowns
Understanding the common causes for lift breakdowns can help you stay prepared and proactive.
Frequent culprits include worn-out components such as cables and pulleys, electrical failures impacting the control system, and issues from outdated or poor maintenance routines. Power surges, door malfunctions, and mechanical wear and tear also play significant roles in unexpected failures.
By knowing these typical problem areas, you can take steps to prevent costly downtime and ensure reliable lift operation.
Lifts, like any machine, are prone to wear and tear. Without regular lift maintenance problems can arise, leading to disruptions and potential safety hazards. Some common issues include worn or broken components, poor lubrication, and improper usage.
A properly installed lift can still encounter issues. That’s why it’s crucial to have a preventative approach to lift maintenance.
Legal requirements mandate regular servicing, and a rapid response service contract is an excellent strategy to ensure swift action in case of a breakdown.
