Keeping Furse Lifts (A.K.A Thyssen Lifts) in Top Condition: Maintenance, Repair, and Servicing for Long-Lasting Performance
Furse lifts are well-known for their robust engineering and reliable operation, making them a popular choice for various buildings over the decades. However, like all elevator systems, they require regular maintenance, expert repairs, and professional servicing to ensure their longevity and optimal performance. Whether you have a brand-new Furse lift or one that has been in service for many years, proper care is essential to keeping it running smoothly.
At Ascenda Lifts, we specialize in the maintenance, repair, and servicing of Furse lifts, and we have the experience necessary to work on lifts of all ages—whether installed recently or decades ago. Our commitment to preserving these systems ensures they remain safe, efficient, and reliable for years to come.
The Importance of Regular Maintenance for Furse Lifts
Proper maintenance is crucial to the longevity of any lift, and Furse lifts are no exception. Over time, mechanical components wear down, electrical systems can degrade, and the overall performance of the lift can decline without regular care. Routine maintenance helps prevent these issues, ensuring that your Furse lift remains in excellent working condition and continues to serve your building reliably.
Benefits of Regular Maintenance:
Extended Lifespan: Regular maintenance significantly increases the lifespan of your Furse lift, reducing the need for costly replacements.
Enhanced Safety: By identifying potential problems early, regular maintenance ensures that your lift operates safely and reduces the risk of accidents.
Efficiency: A well-maintained lift is more energy-efficient, operates more quietly, and provides a smoother ride for passengers.
Compliance: Maintenance ensures that your lift complies with the latest safety standards and regulations, avoiding fines or operational shutdowns.
At Ascenda Lifts, we provide tailored maintenance programs specifically designed for Furse lifts. Our expert technicians conduct thorough inspections, replace worn components, and make necessary adjustments to ensure your lift continues to function at its best.
Timely Repairs for Furse Lifts: Addressing Issues Early
Despite regular maintenance, all elevators will eventually require repairs due to wear and tear or unexpected malfunctions. Addressing these issues promptly is critical to avoid larger problems that could lead to extensive downtime or more expensive repairs.
Common signs that your Furse lift may need repairs include:
Slow response times or jerky movements.
Unusual noises, such as grinding, squealing, or clunking.
Frequent breakdowns or stops between floors.
Door malfunctions, such as failing to open or close properly.
Whether your Furse lift is experiencing minor glitches or more severe mechanical issues, Ascenda Lifts has the expertise to quickly identify and fix the problem. Our technicians are trained in all aspects of Furse lift systems and can resolve issues efficiently to get your lift back to full operation with minimal disruption.
Servicing Furse Lifts: Ensuring Continued Reliability
Routine servicing is essential for ensuring that your Furse lift remains reliable for years to come. Servicing goes beyond standard maintenance and involves a detailed inspection of all the lift’s systems, ensuring that each component is functioning correctly and that any emerging issues are addressed before they become serious problems.
During a Furse lift service, we:
Inspect electrical systems: Ensure all control panels, wiring, and connections are in good working order.
Check mechanical components: Evaluate the condition of the motor, cables, pulleys, and hoisting mechanisms for wear and tear.
Test safety systems: Ensure that emergency brakes, alarms, and backup systems are functioning properly.
Lubricate and clean: Clean and lubricate moving parts to reduce friction, wear, and unnecessary strain on the lift’s components.
By performing these thorough checks, Ascenda Lifts ensures that your Furse lift continues to operate smoothly, safely, and efficiently. Whether your lift is brand new or decades old, our specialized service packages are designed to keep it in peak condition.
Keeping Furse Lifts of All Ages Operational
One of the unique aspects of Furse or Thyssen lifts is their durability, with many systems having been in operation for decades. At Ascenda Lifts, we are proud to specialize in maintaining and servicing Furse lifts of all ages, whether recently installed or part of a building’s original design.
For older Furse lifts, we:
Preserve original components where possible, keeping the lift's historical integrity intact while updating necessary parts for improved safety and performance.
Retrofit modern technology, such as control systems or safety upgrades, to bring the lift up to current standards without compromising its original structure.
Source or custom-fabricate parts that are no longer manufactured to keep your lift operational for as long as possible.
This expertise ensures that even lifts that have been in service for decades can continue to function efficiently and safely with the right care and attention.
