New Lift Handover Audit
What Is a New Lift Handover Audit?
Put simply, a new lift handover audit is an audit of how your new lift complies with the signed contract. Professional lift auditors take a deep dive into your lift component, installation, and other related works like lift shaft and motor room — this ensures your lifts will stay in optimal uptime with the performance that you specified in the contract.
What Are the Benefits of a New Lift Handover Audit?
New lifts can often be forgotten about — after all, there is usually free servicing for a stipulated amount of time and in those early days there is often very little to worry about. New lifts also usually come with a maintenance service plan, and so it can be assumed they will look after themselves.
However, things do go wrong, and in some cases, you might not actually be receiving the new lift specifications you thought you purchased.
A new lift handover audit will ensure you receive the lift in accordance with contract specifications and performance criteria that you purchased.
Remember, a new lift handover audit is completely independent — it will find what is objectively there to see, not what a lift supplier wants you to see!

The Importance of Legal and Safety Compliance for Your Lift

A lift is a significant piece of machinery that moves people several vertical metres, thus building owners must strictly adhere to all applicable latest safety and regulatory standards.
How Often Do You Need to Audit Your Modernized Lift Maintenance Contract?

We recommend that your new modernized lift is audited when the lift supplier hands over the lift to the building owner. The inspection should be completely independent of your lift supplier and give you a full picture of your lift’s performance, efficiency after modernization, and maintenance contract execution thereafter.
