“What goes up must come down.” That is a very familiar quote of Sir Isaac Newton and this is essentially the function of a properly working elevator. If it goes up, it should come down. However, elevators are man-made devices, and as such, are prone to malfunction and in need of repair. For those businesses and facilities that have elevators installed, they should be aware of the typical problems that come with utilizing them. Elevator Technologies Inc., a company in Arlington, VA installs and repairs elevators regularly. Following are some of the problems they have addressed.
• The most frequent problem with elevators is sudden stopping. Elevators work on a complex system of computer programming and electronics. At any given time, the system can suffer an electrical failure, causing the sudden stops. If that is the cause of the elevator stopping, call a qualified technician.
• Another problem that happens that will cause the passengers on the elevator some alarm is when the elevator will not open. The issue could be anything from a sensor problem to a door operator that is not functioning properly.
• Customarily, power failures will occur a a facility. In such cases, that will also affect the elevator. Once power is restored, so is the elevator power. However, there are cases when the elevator’s power will fail or will fail to start back up after an overall power failure. A technician will have to be called.
• Sometimes there are problems with elevator shifting or lurching and that can be dangerous for passengers. In such cases, the company needs to call in a qualified technician immediately to correct the problem.
