preventive maintenance

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and will save you money over the long-term.

Elevators are a valuable asset in every building that utilizes them. Care should be taken to preserve them at a high standard: safe, reliable and code compliant.

Partnering with a company that provides that care on each and every job will take the stress out of elevator management. Contact us to learn more about how we can help.

safe transportation

Elevators are the safest form of transportation, and that is due to the high standards imposed by regulatory authorities. By law, elevating devices accessible to the public must be maintained by a licensed elevator contractor and must comply with all current code requirements.

At Summit Elevator, we spell this out explicitly in our service agreements. We strive to maintain the highest possible standards for all our clients, and we stand behind the work we do, each and every time. Ready to take elevator safety to new heights?

Advanced System Tracking

The (MCP) Maintenance Control Plan

Advanced system tracking workflow and MCP compliance: Over time, those details get converted to preventative maintenance data through machine learning. That means we get a heads-up about trouble machinery and potential problems before they happen.

What is an MCP?

This is a document that contains a comprehensive set of records of safety checks and tests, as well as work done, to your elevator. It is kept on-site at all times, so that the customer remains informed of what gets done, and when. It is often used by government inspectors to determine if the elevators comply with code, ensuring that your elevator remains safe for public use.

Our maintenance control plan uses advanced system tracking and machine learning to predict problems before they happen.

Don't be fooled by empty promises — with our maintenance control plan, you'll be certain that the work is getting done, correctly and efficiently.

full modernization

At the twenty or thirty-year mark, it is common for elevators to require a full refurbishment.

That work varies, depending on the elevator’s preventative maintenance schedule, and the quality of the initial install. The type of elevator (hydraulic or traction) has a big impact as well.

Our team of expert technicians will work with you to determine the best upgrade path for your elevator. Give us a call to get started.

A modernization schedule can help extend the longevity of your elevator. We can help predict when certain equipment needs replacement, resulting in less shutdowns and less wear and tear on your unit.

Construction

New construction requires strict adherence to timelines and workflows, which makes the choice of elevator contractor crucial for the success of your project.

While elevators are offered with standard specifications, each project tends to be unique. Considerations like pit depth, ceiling heights and entrance orientation have a big impact, and generally result in a build that is more custom than standard.

Dealing with these nuances requires careful study and planning, vigilance for safety, and a constant eye on the bottom line. You can trust us to deliver the best results, on time and on budget.
