Buildings in Lima

Downtown Lima

With about 38,000 residents, Lima is one of Ohio's larger cities. Buildings here range from downtown offices and apartment towers to hospitals, hotels and homes adding residential elevators.

Across Downtown Lima, we see a wide range of equipment: original hydraulic elevators in low-rise buildings, traction elevators in mid- and high-rises, and newer machine-room-less systems in recent construction. Each needs a maintenance approach that fits its age and how hard it works.

Seasonal swings, rain and humidity make pit drainage and corrosion checks part of routine maintenance.

Compliance

Elevator rules in USA

Elevators in Ohio are inspected and permitted under the Division of Industrial Compliance; most US jurisdictions adopt ASME A17.1 / A17.3 as the safety code.
Inspection intervals and permit requirements vary by city and county, so we confirm the authority having jurisdiction for every Lima project.
Only licensed or registered elevator contractors and mechanics may install, alter or maintain elevators where the state requires it.

FAQ

Lima elevator questions

Should we repair or modernize our elevator?

If the controller is obsolete, parts are hard to source and callbacks are rising, modernization usually costs less over ten years than continued repairs. A survey makes the comparison clear.

How much does elevator modernization cost in Lima?

It depends on the number of cars, stops, the controller and drive being replaced, door equipment and finishes. We give a written, itemized quote after surveying the equipment, and phasing can spread the cost.

Why is our hydraulic elevator slow in winter?

Hydraulic oil thickens in the cold. Unheated machine rooms or pits are a common cause; heating or an oil heater usually fixes it.

What does an elevator modernization replace?

Usually the controller, drive, door operators and fixtures — sometimes the machine. Shaft, rails and often the car frame are kept.

How often should an elevator in Lima be maintained?

It depends on the device and how hard it works. the elevator safety code (ASME A17.1 / CSA B44) requires a written maintenance control program for every device; we set intervals from actual use and callback history.
