We usually decide to take the elevator when we are in a hurry, so when we get stuck waiting for an elevator it feels like an eternity or even longer. You push the elevator buttons several times, but it does not seem to make the elevator any faster. You start having thoughts like, "Why is the elevator up on the fifth floor and not here?”

Much of the time we spend waiting for commercial elevators tends to feel a lot longer than it realy is.  What's up with that?

The modernization of an elevator is a strategic investment that involves careful planning, capital budgeting, and a comprehensive understanding of your property's vertical transportation needs. The task focuses on the replacement of specific key components in order to maximize the operational life of your elevator and to maintain the proper functionality of the unit until a complete renovation is required due to loss of efficiency, updated code compliance or equipment obsolescence.

Being stuck in an elevator can be nerve-wracking. Depending on the number of people in the elevator, it will begin to get warm if everyone is breathing heavily in a state of panic, only increasing discomfort and nervousness. Do your best to remain calm and try to keep the others in the elevator calm.

Is your commercial elevator being properly cleaned? Most commercial elevators feature stainless steel construction, an extremely durable metal that generally requires minimal upkeep. However, every elevator owner should know how to properly clean elevators to ensure safe operation and a clean environment for elevator passengers. Since so many people could use an elevator on any given day, routine thorough cleaning can help slow the spread of bacteria and disease.
