Do not save on diagnostics and timely service!

Lift is an expensive equipment. Therefore, the choice of the supplier should be approached with the utmost seriousness. Otherwise, you can get into a not too pleasant situation, as one of our clients. He purchased a scissor lift ITECO IT 12151 (2011 release), and one day the car had a problem with the steering mechanism. And the seller company no longer exists on the market, there is no one to turn to, and the owner of the elevator was forced to urgently look for an outside service organization.

So ITECO IT 12151 got to VERTEX. Our service personnel are experienced, highly qualified specialists who have been trained in manufacturing plants and are familiar with most brands of lifting equipment. Of course, they took this lift seriously. The service engineer diagnosed the steering mechanism, where it became clear that it had to be replaced.

The fact is that for the long-term operation of the steering mechanism in the joints of parts install bushings (bearings), ensuring the smoothness of the rotation of the wheels. During the operation of the lift bushings and the mating parts with them, "fingers" wear out. There is a backlash that can be fixed by replacing worn bushings. But if the bushings do not change in time, ovality appears in the places of their installation and damage to the steering gear parts occurs. Here only replacement of the assembled parts will help, as in the situation with our lift.

The summary is as follows: for safe, efficient and reliable operation of lifting equipment, we strongly recommend that you perform both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance in a timely manner. If a malfunction is detected in time, and not by the “poke” method, but with the help of high-precision diagnostics, the chain of interconnected failures and unit failures will not be pulled. So you will save both time and money. And, of course, purchase lifts from authorized dealers and reliable suppliers who also offer an additional range of services, including warranty and post-warranty service and repair.
