Proper maintenance and upkeep of lifting machines during the hot summer season can reduce equipment repair costs and other abnormal expenses, lower operating costs, extend service life, and help improve enterprise efficiency. Elevators are prone to malfunctions in summer, so we have provided targeted maintenance recommendations.

In the scorching summer, take good care of your lift

The impact of abnormal high temperature on the lift is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Motor: In high temperature environments, the motor may be damaged due to overheating during prolonged operation of the lift, affecting the normal operation of the equipment.

Lubricating oil deterioration: High temperatures can cause the lubricating oil to deteriorate, leading to a decrease in lubrication performance and an increase in equipment wear and failure rates.

Rubber seal deformation: Rubber seals are prone to deformation at high temperatures, accelerating aging and failure, reducing sealing performance and service life, and may cause leakage.

Taking into account the above factors, the failure rate of lifts in high-temperature environments will significantly increase, affecting production efficiency and equipment lifespan.

Key points for daily maintenance and upkeep of lifting machines in summer

As summer approaches, it is recommended to conduct a comprehensive maintenance of the lift, checking the reliability of components such as the electrical control cabinet, oil cylinder, motor, and chain. If necessary, maintenance, repair, or replacement should be carried out.

Replacing hydraulic oil: Replace hydraulic oil No. 46, which can maintain stable lubrication and flow performance in high temperature environments, is not easy to deteriorate and oxidize, and ensures the normal operation of the hydraulic system. ‌

Strengthen maintenance: Regularly clean, inspect, and maintain the motor to promptly identify and address potential issues.

Optimize heat dissipation design: Ensure that the motor has good heat dissipation, such as adding fans and other heat dissipation devices to improve heat dissipation efficiency.

Improving the working environment: If conditions permit, improve the working environment where the lift is located, such as adding ventilation facilities, lowering the ambient temperature, etc., to reduce the operating temperature of the motor.

In summary, the impact of high temperature on the lift is multifaceted, including the motor, oil cylinder, lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, and other aspects. Therefore, when using a lift, regularly inspect or maintain the lift, pay attention to the ambient temperature, and take appropriate cooling measures to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and extend its service life.

The impact of high temperature on the lift is not absolute. You can judge according to the situation. If you encounter any problems during the use of the lift, please feel free to contact us at any time.
