Maintenance
Ramsay Holmes planned maintenance schedules hold many benefits to the end user, for instance:
- Continued compliance with the legal obligations of the EC Machine Directive MD98/37/EEC and of BS7036 (safety at powered doors).
- Increased working life of the door, gate or entrance system.
- Minimised down time for door, gate or entrance system operation
- Reduced emergency call out costs
- Continued compliance with regulations
- Reduced accident rate
The two most important factors in minimising life-cycle costs for entrance system hardware are specifying the right components for an application and ensuring proper care and maintenance.
In the past, entrance system hardware maintenance might have been done, when a problem arose, such as a loose hinge or a sticking, slamming or inoperative door. Reactive maintenance will not work today. More and more managers are moving to preventative and predictive maintenance.
All entrance system maintenance should be done on a schedule. Ramsay Holmes Doors gives particular but not exclusive attention to manufacturer recommendations, which represent a minimum requirement. Many more maintenance tasks are required to ensure smooth operation, reliability and low cost, we can adapt any maintenance schedule to reflect the requirements of the customer and the application.
Inspection and maintenance includes checking, cleaning, adjusting and lubricating hardware at proper intervals. Components, tasks and typical frequencies can be adjusted according to experience, manufacturer recommendations, conditions and traffic:
