What a lift technician does
Lift technicians set lifts into a prepared framed hoist-way. They install support assembly, set up the lift pump or motor, piston or cable, and mechanism. Lift technicians connect the necessary electronic elements to complete the installation and connection of the lift cabin. They also perform the necessary steps to inspect and repair lifts, as well as the shaft and any associated electronics. Lift technicians make sure every inspection and report action is noted in a log book, and report to the client on the state of the serviced lift.
