Reasons to buy high quality elevator parts

Everyone these days uses elevators to get from one level to another, but few of them notice these machines until they get broken. Even though elevators are usually considered very safe, especially the modern ones, when something breaks, it is very important to buy a high quality spare part in order to avoid it breaking again in the near future. Those who search may actually find some stories about elevator accidents, but most of the problems usually have a financial nature. Of course, when the elevator breaks with people inside and it takes a few hours before someone gets them out of there, things can get very uncomfortable, but other than that, few people can say they have actually been hurt during their stay in an elevator. More problems can have the companies that need to buy elevator spare parts, because in an effort to save some money they choose something of a lesser quality, without realizing they might actually end up paying more in the long run.

Think about it, when the elevator breaks, you need to buy a spare part and pay someone to fix it. Even though you may initially save some money by buying less expensive elevator parts, when your elevator will break again and the same part will have to be replaced, you will have to pay the same money all over again, even though this situation could have been avoided. In addition, when you choose to fix your elevator with a part that is of a lesser quality, you risk breaking something else, because of it not functioning properly. This is why when you choose to buy high quality elevator spare parts from the beginning, you will avoid a lot of future problems and you will make sure that everyone can use it safely, without remaining blocked in it for a few hours. Whenever having to change a part that can be more expensive, one has to think about it as an investment, because this is what it actually is. No matter what manufacturer your elevator might be from or how new it is, at one point or another it will break and when it does, you should definitely buy original, high quality parts.   All in all, when having to make a choice between low prices and high quality, definitely choose the later, because it will turn out to be a much better decision in the long run. You might have to spend a little more money to buy the high quality elevator parts you need, but you should not have any more problems with that elevator for a long time. Whether you have your own mechanic who can handle the repair or you are hiring someone from outside, they should be able to offer you good advice regarding what supplier to buy your spare parts from and what type of parts you should choose.

To order the reasons to buy, send the exact model or reference code printed on the original part to [email protected]. Please quote the full code including any suffix so that our team can confirm the correct variant, current stock and lead time before you commit.

About the reasons to buy

Elevator and escalator installations are built around a relatively small number of serviceable assemblies, but they fail at very different rates. The reasons to buy sits in the general elevator & escalator parts group, and it is replaced on a different service interval from the assemblies around it. In practice the failures we see on reasons to buy come down to a small number of serviceable assemblies — the controller, the door operator, the brake, the drive chain and the safety circuit.

Every reasons to buy we supply is inspected before dispatch. Each unit is checked for physical damage, correct marking and the specific wear or degradation patterns that matter for this class of component, then packed to survive international transit. Where a superseded revision is the only one available, we say so plainly and explain the substitution, so the installing engineer can make an informed decision rather than discovering the difference on site.

Buying guidance and compatibility notes

Before ordering the reasons to buy, confirm three things. First, the equipment model, the controller family and the exact reference printed on the failed component. Second, reference numbers change between revisions, so we map the old code onto the current one before quoting. Third, whether the installation is a traction lift or an escalator, since duty cycle and loading differ between the two.

On fitting, one point is worth repeating: a photograph of the nameplate is usually faster than a description, and avoids a return for the wrong revision. Almost every repeat failure we see on reasons to buy traces back to a related component that was left in place, or to an adjustment that was assumed rather than measured.

For buyers comparing suppliers, the reasons to buy is one of the items most often requested alongside the main controller.

Availability of the reasons to buy varies by revision, so it is worth confirming stock before committing to a delivery date.

When a reasons to buy is replaced, the surrounding wiring and fixings should be inspected at the same time.

Most enquiries about the reasons to buy come from maintenance contractors trying to return an installation to service quickly.

A photograph of the reasons to buy and its nameplate is usually enough for us to confirm the correct variant.

Pricing for the reasons to buy depends on revision, condition grade and the quantity required.

The reasons to buy is normally held in stock so urgent breakdowns can be covered without a long lead time.

If you are unsure which variant of the reasons to buy you need, send a photograph of the nameplate and the existing component alongside a description of the fault. That is usually enough for our team to identify the correct replacement without a site visit, and it avoids the cost and delay of returning an incompatible part. We are also happy to advise on the other serviceable items in the same general elevator & escalator parts group, so a planned shutdown can cover several wear items at once.
