Review and assessment of the feasibility of technical concepts for elevators.
Elevator systems, such as passenger elevators, lifts for persons with impaired mobility, freight elevators, construction hoists, facade lifts and paternoster lifts, are an integral part of our everyday lives. Day in, day out, they ensure the smooth operation of the logistical infrastructure in industrial plants, commercial and residential buildings, and in many other key areas of our economy and service-oriented society. But the constant operational readiness and heavy use demand maximum safety, failure-free operation, and a high degree of economic efficiency. Safe and efficient elevator technology therefore requires the highest level of testing expertise, since, as the operator you are responsible for a safe operation. As an officially notified and authorized inspection body, we offer a comprehensive elevator service portfolio to support you throughout the entire life cycle of your elevator system in fulfilling your obligations as operator, during construction and commissioning, with all tests and inspections as well as during the digitalization and modernization of your elevator systems.
This infographic shows all services in our elevator service portfolio. Simply click on the individual menus on the left to learn more about the comprehensive elevator services we offer for your elevator or elevator system, and contact our experts.
Country-specific regulations can stipulate exactly which one-time and periodic inspections are required in order to comply with quality and safety-relevant system standards and to ensure a legally compliant, failure-free operation.
No matter what inspection – with the support of our industry experts, you will streamline your inspection management, significantly reduce costs, optimally synchronize safety checks and maintenance operations, and as a result create greater capacities for your core business. The services we offer include on-site inspections by our experts to assess the conditions and risks, oil checks for hydraulic elevator systems, the collection of an oil sample as part of the periodic elevator inspection, the assessment of elevators and individual components for potential personal injury and property damage or dangerous operating conditions, the on-site measurement of energy requirements and much more. Contact us – we will be happy to help you.
Our comprehensive service portfolio also includes crucial support services to ensure the safety and efficiency of your elevator systems. This allows us to develop and offer customized solutions tailored to your individual situations and specific needs that go beyond the legally required testing and inspection services.
Our experts have extensive technical and technological experience and are connected through an international network. Our range of services includes concept reviews for modifications and modernization, review of construction documents, preparation of condition and safety analyses, analysis of individual components for signs of ageing and wear, evaluation of the visual appearance from the perspective of the elevator user, identification of potentials for optimization, training of elevator attendants and personnel, arrangement of training sessions on eco-design and much more. Contact us – we will be happy to help you.
The modernization of elevator systems and the digitalization of elevator components requires a broad and in-depth state-of-the-art expert knowledge. From the planning stage to ensuring a smooth operation, we offer you first-class support in this specialized area by providing a comprehensive service portfolio that makes your systems more efficient and therefore future-proof. The increasing digitalization of elevator systems makes cybersecurity an issue that must be addressed as well.
Today, comprehensive operational security must always include cybersecurity. Every day, we hear about cyber-attacks and their impact. The digitalization and interconnection of elevator systems increases the vulnerability to such attacks, which can have serious consequences, including people becoming trapped, emergency call systems failing, control systems being manipulated and elevators breaking down. Operators of elevator systems should therefore rethink their risk assessments and take appropriate, documented protective measures to ensure safety and security.
Do you have questions about cybersecurity for elevator systems?
We have already answered some of the most frequently asked questions for you here:
Elevator systems are subject to mandatory monitoring. Regulations in Germany specify for example that in the future, in addition to verifying functional safety, elevators must also be assessed for cybersecurity. Learn more about the anticipated regulatory changes.
The safe operation of elevator systems requires fully reliable, 24/7 emergency call systems that are continuously connected to an emergency call control center. At all times, elevator users must have the confidence and peace of mind that their ride will be smooth and that the elevator emergency management system is faultless in terms of technology and communications. As an operator or manufacturer, you need a competent partner who inspects your safety systems regularly, reliably and in great detail. Our experts in the planning, installation and management of elevator emergency call systems will help you prevent accidents and avoid liability. Our services include:
We are happy to answer all your questions, especially about retrofitting a two-way communication solution. We support you with aspects such as the following:
Optimizing the energy efficiency of your elevator systems is a major step towards energy sustainability. The potential financial savings from energy efficiency improvements over the entire service life of your systems are also an important consideration. In addition, it provides credible proof of your company’s commitment to protecting the environment. Our experts will help you identify potential energy-saving solutions at an early stage and to implement them in a cost-saving manner. We offer you a comprehensive portfolio of assessments and testing services:
Take advantage of the expertise of our experts on regulations like the VDI 4707 in Germany. Our decades of experience in testing and inspecting elevator systems also form the basis of our expertise as a reliable partner in the field of assessing and measuring elevator systems. Our experts measure various key values, estimate the annual energy requirements, classify your products, and provide you with comprehensive guidelines to help you optimize the energy efficiency of your elevator systems.
Make an appointment with our energy efficiency experts today and learn how to implement the many potential energy savings associated with a sustainable and green building technology.
Natural disasters also affect elevator systems. For example, defects in mechanical equipment or electrical systems, changes to the building structure, or the malfunction of essential safety components can increase the risk potential making the safe operation of the elevator system no longer possible. If your elevator system or system components have been forced "out of operation" because of an exceptional occurrence, contact us to coordinate the necessary steps.
