FAQ
Clear scope (which parts are covered), response times, callback handling, records access, term and price escalation. We'll review yours.
Yes. Freight elevators see heavier, uneven loads and more door wear, so they generally need more frequent attention to doors, gates and levelling.
Hydraulic oil thickens in the cold. Unheated machine rooms or pits are a common cause; heating or an oil heater usually fixes it.
In California, elevating devices are regulated by Cal/OSHA's Elevator Unit (Division of Occupational Safety and Health). Devices need a valid licence or permit and periodic inspection; work must be done by qualified contractors and mechanics.
Often yes. Residential elevators and platform lifts can be retrofitted into many homes; they must meet the elevator safety code (ASME A17.1 / CSA B44) and local requirements and usually need a building permit.
