Lift Suppliers & Contractors

Q: Are residential elevators hydraulic?

Residential elevators are not all hydraulic. Traction and hydraulic elevators are the two most prevalent forms of home elevators. Both drive methods provide dependable, smooth elevator service, but they do not work in the same way.

Q: How long do residential elevators last?

If properly maintained, a residential elevator can survive for decades. If your elevator is small and cramped, takes a long time to go between floors, is frequently out of operation, and is 25 years old or older, we propose a total replacement.

Nearly all multi-storey and high-rise building construction or renovation projects include lifts or elevators that are used to transfer both people and goods between different floors. Lift contractors supply, build and install all the materials and equipment needed when lifts are installed or renovated on building sites. ArchiPro features only the most reputable lift suppliers and installers in New Zealand.

Types of services that a lift supplier and contractor provides

These are just a few of the wide range of services available in New Zealand from your lift supplier and contractors. If you've been considering hiring a professional lift business as part of your building maintenance or new building development their services should include the following:

Designers

They work with designers and architects to design custom lifts for your projects and advise on the best models to use.

Manufacturers

Some lift suppliers and contractors also manufacture standard and custom commercial elevators for projects.

Installers

They facilitate the installation of lifts into shafts, often including mechanical and electrical elements of the work. Most residential, commercial, and industrial structures may have lifts installed by a reputable lift provider.

Maintenance

They perform mechanical services and maintain lifts to keep them in safe working condition. The lift type and how frequently it is used affect how often it needs maintenance.

Repairers

They troubleshoot and repair defective lifts from a structural, electrical and mechanical perspective. Lift repairs can include anything from repairing worn-out parts and electrical systems to providing emergency breakdown assistance.

Lift chairs suppliers

Stairlift suppliers, balustrade contractors, and medical lift chair suppliers cater to the needs of the elderly and disabled. These are not multi-people carrying elevators but single-person chairs attached to stair balustrading for smaller residences. For these projects, they may work closely with staircase builders.

The advantages of hiring a skilled lift supplier and contractor

The advantages of engaging experienced elevator suppliers in New Zealand go beyond maintaining code compliance and preserving elevator safety. The numerous components of an elevator must all be completely comprehended by a trained technician. Skilled hydraulic elevator suppliers offer knowledge and commitment to an elevator's installation, maintenance and repair requirements. With their expertise, possible problems may be addressed in advance, keeping elevators safe, functional, and free of expensive repairs. Elevator parts suppliers' training and expertise also enable them to specialise in comprehensive, flexible, and forward-thinking solutions.

Finding the proper installer and contractor in New Zealand is essential since there are numerous factors to consider when considering a lift. The elevator contractor company's knowledge and skill with the particular type of elevator for your building and construction project is the most crucial factor to take into account. You should also look for one close to you that has enough technicians to meet your servicing needs in the case of emergencies. Create a list of potential lift contractors from the high-quality professionals on ArchiPro and narrow it down by checking that they provide the services you need before meeting with them. When you meet them, make sure to ask them the following questions:

What's covered by the lift supply cost?
Do you provide after-sales services, emergency assistance and maintenance plans?
Do you use your own staff or hire subcontractors?
Do you keep detailed reports for safety and compliance assessments in New Zealand?
Are you licenced and certified to work in New Zealand?

When is a lift required in a residential building?

The number of levels and the total potential occupancy determine whether or not a lift is necessary. Buildings with four or more storeys, three storeys with an occupancy of 50 or more on the upper levels, and two storeys with an occupancy of 40 or more on the top floor must have a lift.
