Lift installers: Tips depending on the installation location

When installing a lift, going to specialised installers enables you to ensure that you’re working with experienced and trained professionals who have an in-depth knowledge of these systems. Lift installers offer a high quality service, as well as best installation practices and thorough testing to ensure proper operation of the lift and extend its service life.

As we know, lifts are complex pieces of equipment that must comply with a number of specific standards and regulations that ensure users’ safety. A good installer makes sure that all legal, technical, and constructive aspects are covered during the installation process. This reduces any risks associated with the operation of the system.

How should I choose lift installers?

As we’ve mentioned, it’s important to go to professional lift installers to verify compliance with safety standards and regulations. In addition, they will provide a guarantee that a high-quality and durable product is being installed. Always applying the optimal solution and prioritising the most accessible itinerary. In this respect, one thing to consider when choosing an installation service is the reputation of the company.

It is important to research and evaluate the company’s reputation in the market, review its project history, with experience in lift installations in both existing buildings (rehabilitation) and new construction, and seek opinions from past customers. Success stories provide a better idea of the reliability and level of satisfaction the company has achieved with previous customers.

Another important aspect to consider when choosing the installation company is the subsequent technical service. A good lift installer not only takes care of the initial installation, but also of the periodic maintenance and repairs that may be necessary. This is what will ensure the efficient and safe operation of the equipment.

Specific aspects in the installation of lifts according to the location

Today, lifts are indispensable in a range of different types of buildings. In each case, the installation must respond to various characteristics of design and capacity, accessibility and safety, among others. Next, we will discuss the specific aspects to be considered by lift installers according to the installation site.

Residential buildings and family homes

When it comes to the installation of lifts in residential buildings and family homes, aspects such as design, capacity, safety and -above all – accessibility must be considered. In terms of design, it is crucial to take into account the layout of the rooms in the building and the dimensions of the spaces, as well as the access points to make the system efficient and functional.

Another aspect to consider in these buildings is the removal of architectural barriers. In residential buildings it is important to take into account people with reduced mobility who might live there or transit through the building, incorporating accessible routes and lifts.

Office buildings, official buildings and shopping centres

In the case of corporate buildings, official buildings or shopping centres, capacity is an indispensable factor for lift installers to consider depending on the number of people in the building. Unlike residential buildings, large numbers of people, from employees to visitors, are expected to move around these environments. Therefore, the system must be able to cope with high user traffic.

Access restriction systems, for their part, play a very important role, particularly in official buildings. This is what makes it possible to protect confidential information and people who come to these places, in addition to increasing the security of the installations. Ways to secure access include fingerprint readers, security cameras or key cards. These are systems that must be able to be integrated into existing infrastructure.

Hotels, restaurants and care homes

In hotels and restaurants, in particular, lifts should also be able to adapt to the continuous flow of people. They must be able to function properly and efficiently even at busy times. An access control system may be needed here to allow for smooth management of people, as well as air conditioning systems to regulate temperature.

Other key factors include aesthetic design in keeping with the building, and effective emergency and communication systems. The latter must be effective in responding swiftly to emergency situations. These aspects have a direct impact on the customer’s perception of the establishment and therefore on their satisfaction.

At the same time, lifts suitable for persons with reduced mobility are indispensable in all three cases. It is a particularly important factor in care homes, where residents will often have mobility problems. But it is also crucial to ensure that hotels, restaurants and other such establishments are accessible to all.

Hospitals, shops, schools and universities

Finally, one thing that lifts in shops, schools, hospitals and universities have in common is the need to transport large objects, as well as people

From stretchers to blackboards or goods, lift installers should consider the possible requirement to transport large objects. These are also spaces with a large influx of people, so it is essential that lifts can adapt to meet that demand.

In these areas, it is also important to use access restriction and control systems to ensure the safety of individuals and to protect certain objects or locations.
