10 Lift Maintenance Mistakes RWAs Make (and How to Avoid Them)

Most lift problems in apartments are not sudden; they build up from small oversights. These ten mistakes are the ones we see most often, along with how to avoid each.

The ten mistakes

  1. Choosing AMC on price alone. Compare scope, parts and response.
  2. Not reading exclusions. Know what is charged extra.
  3. Ignoring small noises. They are early warnings.
  4. No service log. Ask to see visit records.
  5. Overloading with furniture moves. Plan a service lift or protective measures.
  6. No backup plan for elders. Prepare help during breakdowns.
  7. Delaying repairs to save budget. Small faults grow.
  8. No sinking fund. Major repairs then become a crisis.
  9. Not training security staff. They should know the emergency steps.
  10. Never reviewing the contract. Review it every year.

Fixes that work

  • Keep a written AMC with a response approach.
  • Review the breakdown log quarterly.
  • Run an annual condition check.
