Ohio Annual Safety Test and Elevator Recabling Services

commercial-elevator-01.jpg

In order to keep your elevator certificate of operation current, the state of Ohio requires that all public elevators, dumbwaiters, LULA elevators, stairlifts, platform lifts, and material lifts undergo an annual safety test.

Most units also require a Five-Year Full Load Test (excluding Direct Hydraulic Elevators). Winding drum elevators that require cable replacement need to have the cables replaced every five years.

​If you have a residential lift, it is recommended that you have a maintenance check done at least once a year to assure your lift is safe, lubricated correctly, and in good working condition.

Ohio Elevator Fire Service Inspections

The Ohio State Department of Industrial Compliance / Division of Elevator Inspection mandates that the elevator installed at your facility has a fire service inspection performed monthly.
