• The installed machine design is of an aged, superseded design. Modern systems allow the lift speed to be increased and decreased gradually and bring the lift to a full standstill, prior to the brake being applied. The installed system does not allow a gradual acceleration, and relies upon the power being removed and the brake being applied to bring the lift to a stop, resulting in a lower ride quality, poorer levelling accuracy and greater wear and tear on the machine. These systems generally require a greater level of attention to retain floor levelling and ride quality within acceptable tolerances. We noted the overall ride quality and floor levelling accuracy as being:

  Good

  Fair

  Poor

  N/A

• The installed machine is of an aged and superseded design, that requires the conversion of AC power to DC for its operation. This results in a significantly lower energy efficiency when compared to modern VVVF AC systems. The design also necessitates a contact type commutator on the machine to provide power to the rotor, which is subject to higher levels of wear and tear. We noted the condition of the commutator as

  Good

  Fair

  Poor

  N/A

• The machine utilises method of speed control that has been superseded and is considered obsolete. Ride quality and levelling control tends to below that offered by more modern VVVF systems.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• The installed machine is of a superseded design, that features separate high and low speed windings within the motor to control speed and relies upon the machine brake to bring the lift to a standstill. This form of speed control results in poorer quality floor levelling and increased wear on the machine and brake components.

• What is the brake design?

  Select

• The brake unit is of a design that lacks the duplication of components, such as springs and linkages, that is required to allow compliance with current standards. The lack of duplicated components presents a risk of single point failure and replacement is recommended as part of any future upgrade works. We noted the overall condition of the brake to be
