Platform Lifts: Service & Troubleshooting Guide

Service intervals, common symptoms and quick fixes for platform lifts in public and residential settings.

Service intervals

Typically quarterly or bi‑annually depending on usage and environment (external lifts need more care).

Common symptoms

• Won’t move: door interlock, gate contacts or emergency stop engaged.
• Stops mid‑travel: safety edges, platform switches, low batteries.
• Noisy/rough ride: guide issues, lubrication, worn rollers.

Environment matters

External platforms suffer from water/dirt ingress — seals, drains and covers are key to reliability.

How we help

Brand‑agnostic service and repairs, batteries/UPS checks, and clear remedials to keep access reliable.
