lift-technician Occupational skill for the role 'lift technician' (also: lift maintenance engineer, elevator erecting mechanic, lift maintenance technician, lift construction worker, lift erector, lift installer). Use when the user asks for typical lift technician work such as: Assemble, install, repair, and maintain elevators, escalators, moving sidewalks, and dumbwaiters, using hand and power tools, and testing devices such as test lamps, ammeters, and voltmeters.; Test newly installed equipment to ensure that it meets specifications, such as stopping at floors for set amounts of time.; Locate malfunctions in brakes, motors, switches, and signal and control systems, using test equipment.

Lift Technician

Lift technicians set lifts into a prepared framed hoist-way. They install support assembly, set up the lift pump or motor, piston or cable, and mechanism. Lift technicians connect the necessary electronic elements to complete the installation and connection of the lift cabin. They also perform the necessary steps to inspect and repair lifts, as well as the shaft and any associated electronics. Lift technicians make sure every inspection and report action is noted in a log book, and report to the client on the state of the serviced lift.

  3. Locate malfunctions in brakes, motors, switches, and signal and control systems, using test equipment.
  4. Check that safety regulations and building codes are met, and complete service reports verifying conformance to standards.
  5. Connect electrical wiring to control panels and electric motors.
  6. Adjust safety controls, counterweights, door mechanisms, and components such as valves, ratchets, seals, and brake linings.
  7. Read and interpret blueprints to determine the layout of system components, frameworks, and foundations, and to select installation equipment.
  8. Inspect wiring connections, control panel hookups, door installations, and alignments and clearances of cars and hoistways to ensure that equipment will operate properly.
