More often than passenger equipment carrying the same age, because freight units run heavier loads with rougher handling and are usually the last unit in the maintenance budget. Frequency should be set by load and cycle count, not by matching the passenger schedule.
What matters in these buildings
Freight is under-maintained everywhere
It is the most common gap we find. Heavily loaded, lightly serviced, and the first thing to fail at the worst moment.
Downtime has a measurable cost
In a working facility an outage stops work. That changes the arithmetic on preventive maintenance.
Equipment nobody has surveyed
Many industrial buildings have never had an independent condition assessment. It is usually a revealing exercise.
What makes us different
We bring every trade. You coordinate nobody.
Most elevator contractors bid the elevator and leave you to find an electrician, a fire
alarm company and an HVAC contractor — then coordinate all of them around a schedule
you did not write. That is how a modernization turns into a second job for a property
manager.
LifTech bids the whole thing. Every sub-trade is in our scope, on our schedule, under our
supervision. You get one contract, one point of contact and one company accountable for the
finished result.
