Elevator Types We Service

Commercial buildings can use different types of elevator systems, and each system has its own components and maintenance considerations.

We perform maintenance and repairs on any kind of elevator, including systems that were not originally installed by us. Our experience includes service considerations for elevator systems such as:

Hydraulic Elevators

Hydraulic elevators use a hydraulic system to move the elevator between floors. Proper maintenance of the equipment and related components is important for dependable operation.

Traction Elevators

Traction elevators use a motor and hoisting system to move the elevator car. General Elevator Solutions provides maintenance, repair, and modernization services for commercial elevator systems and their components.

24/7 Elevator Repair Services for Safe Operations

A malfunctioning elevator can disrupt building operations and create inconvenience for the people who rely on it.

At General Elevator Solutions, we provide 24-hour emergency elevator service to help address unexpected problems and reduce downtime.

Our technicians can troubleshoot and repair common commercial elevator issues, including: 

• Elevator doors that don’t open or close properly
• Strange noises during operation

For ongoing protection against unexpected problems, a scheduled maintenance agreement can help identify issues before they develop into larger elevator failures.

Florida Elevator Code & Safety Compliance

Elevator systems are subject to safety requirements and applicable regulations. General Elevator Solutions provides modernization and maintenance services designed to help commercial elevator systems remain compliant with applicable Florida elevator safety requirements.

Regular maintenance, testing, and timely correction of equipment issues can all play an important role in maintaining a safe and reliable elevator system.

Elevator Inspections & Annual Testing

Regular inspection and testing are important parts of commercial elevator ownership and maintenance,

We help coordinate required annual testing as part of its commercial elevator service approach, and work with property managers and commercial building owners to help them stay on top of elevator safety requirements.

If we find any issue, we help you with appropriate repairs or modernization to bring your elevator back to operation.

Elevators are essential for many condominium and apartment communities. Routine maintenance can help support reliable service for residents while reducing unexpected disruptions.

Elevator Modernization in Clearwater, FL

Sometimes, maintenance is not always the solution for an older or frequent problematic elevator. When equipment is outdated, experiences recurring problems, or requires components that are increasingly difficult to obtain, modernization may be worth considering.

Depending on the equipment and project requirements, modernization can include components such as:

• Control systems
• Motion control equipment
• Traction controllers
• Door operators
• Power units
• Valve assemblies
• Elevator fixtures
• Hoisting machines
• Car operating panels

Modernization can improve elevator performance, reliability, safety, and energy efficiency while helping older equipment meet applicable safety requirements.

If you’re dealing with repeated elevator repairs or an aging system, an evaluation can help determine whether continued repairs or modernization makes more sense for your property.
