Machine Roomless Elevators (MRLs)
Kone Schindler Otis Thyssenkrupp
MRL – Evolved because of new Machine technology
• Smaller more Efficient Motors • AC Gearless Technology • Flat Belts in lieu of Rope Cables • Considered ‘GREEN’
Machine Roomless Elevators (MRLs)
Structural Support Methods or Cassette unit • Pancake machine, car and counterweight dead-end hitches mounted to guide rails
• All loads transferred down to pit floor
• Eliminates need for overhead machine support beams and building structure for elevators
Pancake or cassette, the MRL machines are smaller and more efficient .
Freight Elevator Classifications
Three basic Freight elevator loading Classes: ‘A, B and C’ • Used for material goods transport • Carries no passengers • Variations on platform design based
on how the elevator is loaded. • Requires special design and
coordination with structural engineer
Elevator/Escalator Maintenance
Hearst Tower, New York, NY
Preventive Maintenance
• Designed to provide: • Equipment reliability (up and running time)
• Optimum equipment performance (smooth performance)
• Optimum life expectancy
• Maintenance Program Should be Based Upon: • Type of equipment
• Operating environment
• Amount of Usage
• Facility Needs
Preventive Maintenance
QUESTION:
How Do I Determine if My Elevators and Escalators are
Being properly Maintained??

Preventive Maintenance
What is Preventive Maintenance? • Housekeeping
• Clean machine room/equipment/controls • Clean door operating components • Clean car top/equipment • Clean pit equipment • No dust/oil/grease accumulation
Preventive Maintenance
What is Preventive Maintenance? • Adjustment
• Operating speed • Door opening/closing • Door dwell (hold open time) • Floor to floor time • Stopping accuracy
Preventive Maintenance
What is Preventive Maintenance? • Lubrication
• Too much? • Not enough? • Leaks • Accumulation
Preventive Maintenance
What is Preventive Maintenance? • Repair
• All equipment/components covered by maintenance contract • Identical or equal replacement parts • No “band aid” repair to avoid replacements
Preventive Maintenance
What is Preventive Maintenance? • Replacement
• All equipment/components covered by maintenance contract • Identical or equal replacements • Repair or replace? • When and why?
Preventive Maintenance
What Can the Owner/Manager Do To Ensure The Best Possible Preventive Maintenance is Being Performed?
• Hire the Right Service Contractor
• Execute the Best Possible Maintenance Contract
• Train facility personnel in How to Respond to Issues
• Monitor Service Contractor Performance
• Perform Quality Control Audits
Preventive Maintenance
Monitoring Contractor Performance Five (5) Major Areas Should Be Reviewed: • Frequency of Outages & Problems
• Component Wear
• Housekeeping
• Elevator Operating Performance
• Storage of Spare parts
Preventive Maintenance
Monitoring Contractor Performance Frequency of Outages & Problems
• Maintain a Service Call & Preventive Maintenance Log Book • Must be filled in by Service Company each time there is a visit
• PM • Callback • Scheduled Repair • Test
• Log Information Should Include: • Time of tech arrival • Reason for visit • Problem noted • Resolution • Time back in service
Preventive Maintenance
Monitoring Contractor Performance
Quality Control • Housekeeping
• Machine Room Cleanliness • Cleanliness of Door Equipment
• Elevator Operation • Ride Quality • Door Operation • Stopping Accuracy • Signal Operation
Preventive Maintenance
Monitoring Contractor Performance
Quality Control
• Independent Oversight is recommended to ensure equipment is being properly maintained and operating at peak efficiency.
• A typical quality control audit would include:
• Evaluation of all systems and components. • Evaluation of preventive maintenance being performed. • List of Maintenance Deficiencies. • Recording of Operating Performance (car speeds, door times, etc.) • Recommendations for Improving Operation/Efficiency.
Preventive Maintenance
Safety Code Requirements for
Preventive Maintenance
• ASME A17.1/CSA B44 Safety Code and CSA B44.2 contain specific requirements for preventive maintenance. • CSA B44.2 stipulates specific intervals for testing and
preventive maintenance tasks. • ASME A17.1 Section 8.6 covers requirements for
maintenance, repair and testing and records. • Must have a written MCP (Maintenance Control
Program) • No specific intervals (must be performed according to
equipment age and repair; usage; environmental conditions, etc.)
Preventive Maintenance Contracts

Preventive Maintenance Contracts
Types of Maintenance Contracts
• Oil and Grease?
• Parts, Oil and Grease
• Full/Complete Preventive Maintenance?
• Usage Based “Predictive” Maintenance?
Preventive Maintenance Contracts
Types of Maintenance Contracts
Oil and Grease Maintenance Contract • Typically includes only lubrication and some minor
adjustments • Does not include parts or labor. • Can include testing. • Appropriate for older units that do not see much use and have
several obsolete components
Preventive Maintenance Contracts
Types of Maintenance Contracts
Parts, Oil and Grease Maintenance Contract • Similar to oil and grease contract but includes some parts. • Does not include labor. • Can include testing.
Preventive Maintenance Contracts
Types of Maintenance Contracts
Full/Complete Preventive Maintenance Contract • Typically Includes lubrication, adjustments, repairs, testing
emergency callbacks, testing. • Callback service can be customized
• 24/7 all inclusive • Covered during regular time, owner responsible for premium
portion after hours
Preventive Maintenance Contracts
Types of Maintenance Contracts
Usage Based “Predictive” Maintenance • Similar in concept to full/complete preventive maintenance, but
frequency of visits is based on actual usage. • Electronic counter placed on control system to monitor number of
starts to determine frequency of visits. • Most major OEM’s have this system.
Preventive Maintenance Contracts
Customized Preventive Maintenance Agreements
• Frequency of visits • Based on equipment type/age/usage/environment and end
user specific requirements. • Number of hours to be spent on PM • Repair/testing planning • Reporting requirements. • Callback frequency restrictions. • What is not included in scope of services. • Hourly rates for work outside the scope of the contract. • Cancellation terms. • OBSOLESCENCE!!! • Regular audits to be performed by third party firms. • Regular meetings with service contractor staff to review service. • PLACE MORE ACCOUNTABILITY ON SERVICE CONTRACTOR!!
Equipment Modernization
Bank of America Tower, New York, NY
Equipment Modernization
Do You Need to Modernize??
OR
Do You Simply Need Quality Maintenance
Equipment Modernization
• Deferred maintenance reduces equipment life expectancy.
• Need to modernize equipment appears earlier. • Important to monitor ongoing preventive
maintenance. • When it is time to modernize, ensure the correct
scope of work is defined • Independent evaluations
