Help for Facilities Managers to plan and budget for lift replacement

Amalgamated Lifts is offering Facilities and Property Managers a free lift ‘health check’. Amy Roper, operations manager of Amalgamated Lifts said, “It’s not always easy to decide when to replace or partially modernise a lift; there’s lots to consider including budget, timing and potential disruption to personnel.”
“There’s a whole host of reasons for replacing or partially modernising a lift.  There are still many old lifts working reliably, but the risk of parts obsolescence is certainly an issue to be considered. Increased building occupation is putting greater emphasis on lift use and improvements in lift performance through advances in technology shouldn’t be ignored. Increasingly, a key consideration is the energy savings that can be made as a result of adopting more modern technology.  The lifts we are installing now return energy savings of over 50% and can make a significant contribution to the reduction of the overall carbon footprint of an organisation.  Incorporating LED lighting reaps even further energy savings (up to 80%) and furthermore companies may be eligible under the Carbon Trust grant scheme for funding towards lift replacement”.
