For over ten decades Sturm Elevator has been providing professional maintenance, service and repair to commercial and business customers that exceeds industry standards! In that time, we’ve developed the knowledge, expertise and skills to ensure your commercial elevators and mobility assistance equipment operate at peak performance and safety.

​The regular and proper maintenance of an elevator system saves you both time and money. Maintaining your elevator in a proactive manner is important because this can be the difference between an elevator being fixed before there is a problem and an emergency elevator repair call. Keeping breakdowns and downtime to a minimum is our goal for every customer we work with. The elevators in your building aren’t just any piece of equipment. They’re an investment into the safety and mobility of your guests and staff and aid in the smooth operating of your business. Our goal is to make that investment last into the foreseeable future.

COMMERCIAL ELEVATOR SERVICE & MAINTENANCE IN DETAIL

There are a few areas of service which are routinely done depending on your elevator unit. These areas of servicing are: the elevator machine room (where applicable), the hoist way or elevator shaft, and the elevator car or cab itself.

HOIST WAY OR ELEVATOR SHAFT

The hoist way, or elevator shaft, houses the guide rails for the elevator car and counter weights; the door locks, hangers, corridor doors, a variety of safety devices, and cables. In the hoist way the equipment that needs regular servicing are the buffers, the corridor door hangers and locks, switches and whatever safety devices are in place.

ELEVATOR CAR OR CAB

​Elevator cars, with few exceptions, are fire-resistant and well ventilated engineered compartments. The items that need routine servicing are the servicing door operating equipment and the equipment used for proper ventilation of the car as well as the safety equipment from the bottom. Most elevator car work is preformed from the hoist way.

A Few Issues Our Regular Elevator Servicing & Maintenance Covers:

• How quickly the does the elevator respond?
• How much time does it take to travel from one floor to another?
• How level is the elevator car?
• Does the door operate well?
• Does the car start and stop smoothly?
• Do the hall lights, call lights and indicators for each floor work properly?
• Do the emergency alarms and lighting work properly?
• Do the communications devices such as telephone and intercom work properly?

As much of the work that needs to be done to maintain an elevator properly is to be done within the dangerous hoist way; it is strongly urged that a business owner or property manager only hire a trained and certified professional who is licensed, insured and bonded. This protects you from liability, ensures the safety of all users and increases the lifespan of the elevator, allowing it to function smoothly. We have options that allow you to choose how often your elevators are serviced by us.
