403-700-7300 Today, architects dream of reaching the clouds and creating a beautiful skyline to form the backdrop of cities and towns. However, a skyscraper without a lift is an unthinkable proposition as it is almost impossible to climb up so many floors using staircases. The installation of lifts or elevators, thus, forms a mandatory part of the construction of these high-rises and an elevator installer has a very crucial role to play in the same. http://www.ascensionelevators.com/ info@ascensionelevators.com
403-700-7300 What are elevator installers? These installers are actually elevator constructors or mechanics who are entrusted with the job of installation, maintenance and repair of various kinds of elevators like normal lifts, moving walkways, chairlifts etc.It is not the job of a single individual and hence there are numerous companies who employ specialised personnel and possess the required machinery and tools to do this job. http://www.ascensionelevators.com/ info@ascensionelevators.com

403-700-7300 Qualities required to become a lift installer Some of the other requirements of these lift mechanics are: • The ability to keep accurate and detailed records of service schedules, • The knowledge and ability to handle a wide variety of mechanical tools including hand tools and power tools, • The physical stamina to perform this kind of long-durational strenuous job, • The physical strength and ability to lift heavy equipment like conduits, metal tracks, escalator steps etc. and • The ability to quickly diagnose and troubleshoot any problems which might hamper the proper functioning of these elevators and lifts. http://www.ascensionelevators.com/ info@ascensionelevators.com
403-700-7300 Since this job involves both installation and troubleshooting, an elevator installerneeds to have a thorough knowledge of hydraulics, electricity and electronics. It is a fact that most elevators or lifts installed today are operated by highly complex systems and mechanisms involving computerised control panels. Thus experience and knowledge in the relevant field, both play a very important role in ensuring that a lift installation job is done to the required building standards.
