1. Lift Quality Clearance

A certified entity should inspect the lift and secure the necessary authorizations to function. A copy of this permission must be displayed in every operational lift.

2. Working Emergency Phone Number

Check to see whether the lift has an emergency phone number posted inside and the number is on working condition or not.

3. Capacity Declaration

Crucial information like the weight and maximum capacity should be included in the lift declaration.

4. Maintenance Details

The name of the maintenance supplier should be displayed properly.

5. Power Alert

Lifts must include a power outage alert for the safety of people.

6. Rescue System

Lifts should have Automatic Rescue Devices, the sophisticated mechanisms designed to rescue stranded passengers in the event of a power failure.

7. Warning Signals

A lift should display an overload warning indication to ensure that it stays in place even when fully loaded.

8. Lifespan of Lift

The industry standard life expectancy of a lift is approximately 20 or 25 years of service. This point needs careful consideration.
