Especially during the construction of high-rise buildings, personnel and freight elevators are needed. These are lifts that are temporarily installed and raised as the building rises and used to raise or lower workers and loads. In addition to models with single or double cabins, there are models with different motors and speeds.

Double cabins personnel and cargo liftsthey can act independently on one column. In this way, too much work is done in the most economical way.

These elevators have many safety systems such as motorized braking system, parachute braking system, overload warning system, shock absorber system against sudden drops, double control system inside cabins. In addition, a number of safety and practical measures have been taken in these elevators, such as safety precautions on doors, manual emptying of motor brakes, cable guide trolley, lower and upper limit limiting safety systems.

As a result, occupational health and safety is important. Therefore, personnel and freight elevators, employees and the load must not endanger the safety of life and property. In order to achieve this, the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology issued the Elevator Operating, Maintenance and Periodic Control Regulation. This regulation contains the rules that must be followed for the operation, maintenance and periodic inspections of the elevators.

In addition, Health and Safety Requirements Regulation on the Use of Work Equipment was enacted. This regulation also describes the conditions to be followed for the healthy and safe use of work equipment. Accordingly, personnel and cargo-carrying elevators should be checked once a year if no other period is required for the relevant standards.

Annex 3 of the Regulation (Maintenance, Repair and Periodic Controls Related Issues), personnel and hoists, Lifting and forwarding tools group. According to the regulation, inspection and inspection procedures must be performed by mechanical engineers, machine technicians or high technicians. The electric parts of these elevators should be checked by authorized persons.

Personnel and freight elevators periodic inspection The basic standards that must be taken into consideration are:

  • TS EN 81-3 + A1 Lifts - Safety regulations for construction and assembly - Part 3: Electrical and hydraulic service lifts
  • TS EN 13015 + A1 Maintenance of elevators and escalators - Rules for maintenance instructions
  • TS ISO 9386-1 Power-driven lifting platforms for handicapped people - Safety, dimensions and rules for functional operation - Part 1: Vertical lifting platforms
  • TS ISO 9386-2 Power-driven lifting platforms for mobility-impaired people - Safety, dimensions and functional requirements - Part 2: Power-driven stair lift for moving users, standing users and wheelchair users in a tilted plane

TÜRCERT certification body is also testing and inspection services also gives. TÜRCERT, with its experienced managers and employees, is ready to provide all services to companies in every sector if it is necessary to get more information about the periodical inspection of personnel and freight elevators.
