You step in, the doors stay open and the lift beeps. That is overload protection working. It is an important safety feature and not a fault. Here is how it works and what to do.
How overload protection works
Load sensors measure the weight in the cabin. When it goes above the rated capacity, the lift will not close the doors or start, and it sounds a buzzer.
What to do
- Step out until the buzzer stops.
- Take heavy items in separate trips.
- Do not press buttons repeatedly.
For building managers
- Display the capacity near the lift.
- Use a service lift for furniture and heavy goods.
- Ask your service company to test overload settings during AMC visits.
