When it comes to investing in a home lift, understanding the warranty coverage is crucial. As a reputable home lift supplier, we recognize the importance of providing clear and comprehensive information about what our warranties cover. In this blog post, we'll delve into the details of our home lift warranties to help you make an informed decision.
General Components Covered
Our home lift warranties typically cover a wide range of components that are essential for the proper functioning of the lift. This includes the mechanical, electrical, and structural parts of the lift.
Mechanical Components
The mechanical components of a home lift are responsible for the physical movement and operation of the lift car. These components are often subject to wear and tear over time, and our warranty ensures that they are protected.
- Guide Rails and Rollers: Guide rails and rollers are crucial for keeping the lift car aligned and moving smoothly along the shaft. Our warranty covers any defects or malfunctions in these components, ensuring that your lift operates safely and efficiently.
- Drive System: The drive system, whether it's a traction drive or a hydraulic drive, is the heart of the lift. It provides the power to move the lift car up and down. Our warranty includes coverage for the drive motor, gearbox, and other related components. For example, if the drive motor fails due to a manufacturing defect, we'll replace it at no cost to you.
- Brakes and Safety Devices: Safety is our top priority, and our warranties reflect that. We cover the brakes and safety devices, such as overspeed governors and safety gears, which are designed to stop the lift in case of an emergency. If any of these safety components malfunction, we'll repair or replace them to ensure the continued safety of your lift.
Electrical Components
In today's modern home lifts, electrical components play a vital role in the operation and control of the lift. Our warranty provides coverage for these components to ensure reliable performance.
- Control Panel and Wiring: The control panel is the brain of the lift, allowing users to select their desired floor and monitor the lift's status. Our warranty covers any defects in the control panel, as well as the wiring that connects it to the other components of the lift. If there's an electrical short or a malfunction in the control panel, we'll diagnose and repair the issue.
- Sensors and Switches: Sensors and switches are used to detect the position of the lift car, the opening and closing of the doors, and other important functions. Our warranty includes coverage for these sensors and switches, ensuring that they operate correctly. For instance, if a door sensor fails to detect an obstruction, we'll replace it to prevent any safety hazards.
- Lighting and Communication Systems: The lighting inside the lift car and the communication systems, such as intercoms, are also covered by our warranty. If the lights burn out or the intercom stops working, we'll replace or repair these components to provide a comfortable and safe riding experience.
Structural Components
The structural components of a home lift provide the framework and support for the lift car and the shaft. Our warranty covers these components to ensure the long - term stability and durability of your lift.
- Lift Shaft and Enclosure: The lift shaft and enclosure provide the physical space for the lift to operate. Our warranty covers any defects in the construction or materials of the shaft and enclosure, such as cracks in the walls or corrosion of the metal components.
- Car Frame and Platform: The car frame and platform support the passengers and the load inside the lift car. We cover any structural defects in these components, ensuring that they can withstand the weight and stress of regular use.
Specific Lift Types and Their Coverage
We offer a variety of home lift types, each with its own unique features and components. Here's a breakdown of the warranty coverage for some of our popular lift types.
Electric Elevator Lift
Electric elevator lifts are known for their energy efficiency and smooth operation. Our warranty for electric elevator lifts covers all the components mentioned above, with a particular focus on the electrical drive system. The electric motor, drive controller, and power supply are all protected against manufacturing defects. Additionally, we cover the regenerative braking system, which helps to save energy by converting the kinetic energy of the descending lift into electrical energy.
Indoor Small Hydraulic Home Elevator
Indoor small hydraulic home elevators are a popular choice for homes with limited space. Our warranty for these lifts includes coverage for the hydraulic pump, cylinders, and valves. The hydraulic system is responsible for providing the power to lift and lower the lift car, and we ensure that it operates flawlessly. We also cover the oil reservoir and the filtration system to prevent any contamination that could affect the performance of the hydraulic system.
Hydraulic Wheelchair Lift
Hydraulic wheelchair lifts are designed to provide accessibility for people with disabilities. Our warranty for these lifts covers all the standard components, as well as the specialized features that are designed for wheelchair users. This includes the ramp, the wheelchair restraint system, and the easy - to - use control panel. We ensure that these components are in good working condition to provide safe and convenient access for wheelchair users.
Exclusions from the Warranty
While our warranties provide extensive coverage, there are some exclusions that you should be aware of.
- Normal Wear and Tear: Over time, some components of the lift will naturally wear out due to regular use. For example, the floor mats inside the lift car or the buttons on the control panel may show signs of wear. These are considered normal wear and tear and are not covered by the warranty.
- Improper Installation or Maintenance: If the lift is not installed correctly or if it's not maintained according to our recommended guidelines, the warranty may be void. It's important to have your lift installed by a qualified technician and to schedule regular maintenance to ensure the continued validity of the warranty.
- Damage Caused by External Factors: Damage caused by natural disasters, vandalism, or improper use is not covered by the warranty. For example, if a flood damages the lift or if someone intentionally damages the control panel, the repair costs will not be covered.
How to Make a Warranty Claim
If you believe that your home lift has a problem covered by our warranty, here's what you need to do.
- Contact Us: The first step is to contact our customer service team. You can provide us with details about the problem, including the symptoms, the date when the problem started, and any error codes that may be displayed on the control panel.
- Diagnosis and Inspection: Our technicians will then schedule an inspection of your lift. They'll use specialized tools and equipment to diagnose the problem and determine if it's covered by the warranty.
