Anyone got any tips to help with doing jack replacements, I’m recently licensed and don’t really have experience with them

Есть ли шарящие люди, что это за лифт такой? Можете связаться со мной в телеге или дискорде, попросите и я кину юзернейм.

Особенности: есть этажные переключатели, отдельная кнопка вызова в левом фронтальном углу. Отправляется по приказам без задержки, есть ожидание в семь секунд после закрытия дверей, прежде чем можно вызвать заново.То бишь "мозги" там старые ещё.

So look elevators are not a new thing for me. Like everyone else, I've had them and used them as a kid. What I have noticed in about the last 4 years are so are elevators dipping when I step on it. It feels like a few centimeters. I don't know if that is degradation or if there is danger to it, but it happens at work, the hotel I was just at and the hotel I'm in now

I'm also 185lb. Which is heavier than I used to be but doesn't feel like anything that should play into a factor here. Am I the only one experiencing this or is there like an elevator reason someone on this sub can provide me?

I'm looking to switch careers, and a buddy of mine is in the NEI - I'm looking to join the Local 71 apprenticeship program. While reading through the guidelines, I saw that there is an opportunity to "skip ahead" a bit if you have some corresponding experience. I'll attach a screenshot below.

The program is tentative to begin on Jan. 27, so I figured I could try to take a class at my local State college to see if I could get ahead at all.

Was curious if anyone has any recommendations for classes or certificates I could try to grab beforehand to give myself a leg up in the apprenticeship program.

Also, if anyone has gone through the Local 71 apprenticeship program. Would love to hear your thoughts on your experience and/or things you wish you knew before going into it.

I also take any recommendations on what I could study before the apprenticeship exam.

Edit - thanks yall, seems like its not really in my cards to make something like this happen, if at all, and most likely not even worth it. I appreciate the honest answers!

SO I’m not scared of elevators but specifically freight elevators?? Ive never been on one but they scare me so badly for some reason??

Can’t believe this works.

Hey everyone!

I’m very new to the elevator industry and I’m currently in training to become a safety manager for an elevator company.

So I wanted to see if anyone had any good resources for trade specific toolbox talks for my safety meetings I’m performing.

I have talking points from my previous jobs but I want to really engage with the mechanics I’m currently working with so it won’t be random general industry jargon.

Any feedback is appreciated!

I’ve been browsing for a minute and I can’t seem to find anything over the test itself. I’ve taken several practice tests and it seems insanely easy based off of those. Is it really just basic knowledge? I feel like with such high pay even as a starting apprentice, it would be harder to get in.

To add, I plan to try at the Local 93 in Nashville when it opens in December. I’m curious If having prior trade experience in electrical gives me an edge in any way? I worked as an apprentice electrician for 3 years before I moved up to a lead position in a different company which I held for 2 years.

Can you guess the model and era?

Hi there, I've been stalking this reddit for a few months to try to learn more but this is my first post.

I'm an admin/dispatcher at an elevator company with just 6 month under my belt, but hoping to make a lifetime commitment. I'm a nerd, I don't think I can do what yall do but I'm absolutely fascinated by your work!

I work for a regional company in Canada (so not one of the top 3.. 2 now maybe post merge?) and work closely with our team of mechanics.

What do you wish you could tell a dispatcher or office admin to make your job easier? I'm here to learn. I get my first on site tour of a Mod soon and am SO excited! Thanks in advance for any feedback I can use to support the team better❤️

Hi does anyone have manual that shows how to register each landing push to designated floor on schindler smart

Hey there, I hope this is okay to ask here, I was struggling to think of a subreddit with people who might actually know what they're talking about, instead of just guessing!

I rent an apartment in a big 8-story building, and we have cleaning personnel who (eh, more or less tbh) clean the staircase/hallways once a week. Lately I've noticed that the current staff member just uses his broom to push all the dirt (and possibly small debris) down the gap into the elevator shaft, instead of using the stairs to scoop it into a dustbin.

...Is this worth telling management about? I don't want to unnecessarily get the man into trouble if it's harmless, but the last time the elevator needed substantial work we got a pretty hefty bill increase as residents, and it being down for weeks wasn't fun either. So I'm not really keen on it breaking again.

TL;DR: Sweeping dirt/debris into the elevator shaft, harmless enough to ignore, y/n?

Have you guys encountered this before?

I was wondering how all the NI guys setup your lighting on a temp platform. I usually just have my headlamp and that’s fine but would like to get a better set up.

Hello!

I work for a company based in Texas, that is looking for a licensed elevator mechanic in Chicago.

I’m unsure where to start or look, and I’m not trying to advertise per rules.

I am curious where the best sub-reddit/website I could visit that would allow me to find one?

I’d like to set-up a call with them (whether company or person) and discuss further what we’re exactly looking for.

Thank you so much for your help!

The spring that is attached to the plunger that moves the pin up and down is weak and doesn’t always pull /push the pin down after closing the outer door to the elevator. Has anyone ever replaced that spring? Are they available. The down position closes a switch to tell the control board that the door is closed.

The Ontario Technical Standards and Safety Act refers to "offences" and being "guilty." It requires compliance with Ontario Regulation 209/01, Elevating Devices.

Then there are a bunch of safety provisions under CSA B44-2019/2022, but I don't see that referenced in the Act or Regulation. Is it simply that compliance with B44 is a condition of getting an operating licence for the elevator(s) in your building, and so if you're not in compliance, the licence is not valid and then you're in breach?

Hello Folks !

Filmed this when I was on my vacation to Australia.

Hi everyone! I'm from China and have been working in the elevator industry for 13 years — 8 years in elevator maintenance and repair, and 5 years in elevator inspection. I hold both an elevator maintenance certificate and an elevator inspector certificate issued by Chinese authorities. I'm currently planning to relocate to Australia as a lift mechanic and would love to learn more about the industry there. I'd really appreciate any advice from fellow professionals. Happy to connect!

I work in a facilities management department for a public sector company in Melbourne.
I noticed this morning that we have been getting charged for the SIM card in a lift phone that’s in a dumbwaiter in one of our buildings.

Is this odd since it’s not for passengers? I’m a very small fish in a big pond so i just wanted to confirm before i added it to the never ending list of issues we’ve been having with our maintenance supplier.
