Elevator Removal
Understand the Process
1. Site Assessment & Planning
The elevator system and surrounding structure are inspected to determine the best removal approach. Engineers assess weight, attachment points, and potential hazards. A detailed removal plan is developed, ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
2. Power & Utility Disconnection
The elevator is shut down, and all electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic systems are safely disconnected. Fire alarms and emergency power sources linked to the elevator are also disabled to prevent accidental activation.
3. Cabin & Door Removal
The elevator car is secured and lowered to the ground level or nearest access point. Doors, call buttons, and control panels are removed to reduce weight and make handling easier.
4. Hoist System & Counterweight Removal
The counterweights, cables, and pulley systems are carefully dismantled to prevent uncontrolled movement. Specialized equipment such as cranes or lifts may be used for heavy components.
5. Shaft & Track Disassembly
Guide rails, support brackets, and structural components inside the shaft are removed. If the shaft itself is being demolished, additional structural reinforcements may be required before removal.
6. Debris Removal & Site Cleanup
All removed materials are sorted for recycling or disposal. The site is cleared of debris, and final safety checks are performed. If a new elevator is being installed, the area is prepped accordingly.
