Season’s greetings from the team at Uppercut Elevators to you and your family! We are proud to be a local company supporting the local economy and we truly appreciate your continued support. We know how important of a decision it is to work with a reliable company where your safety is on the line.
With the holiday season in full swing, you might be expecting close family and friends over. As you gather all of the little details, here are some residential elevator and lift safety tips to follow.
Tips for keeping your residential elevator or lift safe this holiday season
- Schedule a maintenance check – If you haven’t done so already, we recommend scheduling a maintenance check before the celebrations. Maintenance checks help prevent issues and identify any constraints before they become a serious problem.
- Double-check the weight limit – When using your residential lift or elevator to move decorations, storage boxes, groceries, presents, and other items, be sure not to exceed the weight limit. This information can be found in the owner’s manual or if you’re unsure, give us a call and we can help you out.
- Set ground rules with your guests – Having a home elevator or lift is an exciting feature, especially with young children. Be sure to let your guests know that it’s not a toy and to limit its use only when it is absolutely necessary. Children should be accompanied by an adult when using the elevator.
- Keep the elevator or lift clean and dry – The winter months can track more moisture and debris indoors with snow, ice, salt, and sand. Be sure to remove any moisture from the elevator or lift and keep it as clean as possible.
We want to take this opportunity to thank you for trusting us with an important piece of equipment for your home and business – whether it’s a lift or an elevator. We wish you a Happy Holidays and an abundant New Year!
