Elevators are always expected to be present on buildings. In this era where high rise buildings are cropping up everywhere elevators are a must to be able to reach the top most floors. However, there are floors which is better to be accessed by stairs. This is to conserve energy as well as to practice walking which in return will help provide a healthy body. Since it’s the generation where less physical activity is being practiced climbing stairs is definitely good for everyone. Not many are aware that walking is the best exercise anybody could have without having to exert much effort. So, going up a flight of stairs or two would definitely be a welcome treat for our body. But to those who have a hard time climbing stairs for one reason or the other, there are always the ever present elevators or the multi functional escalators. Escalators can be used to access lower floors of a building.
Mostly, escalators are present on malls, train stations, subways and low rise buildings. However since it is built for convenience and is used by thousand of people every day it is not far from being over used which will result to its breakdown every now and then. So, a periodical maintenance is necessary to insure the escalator parts proper working condition. Since no one can predict where and when it would breakdown the maintenance company should always a have escalator parts on hand to be able to fix the problem that will arise as soon as possible. Especially on places where escalators are use by thousands of people everyday and where no elevators are on hand to replace it when it breakdown. Hence, it is very much needed by those who have a hard time scaling the stairs, like person with disabilities, pregnant women, children and senior citizens.
For these people an access to escalators and elevators are very much needed. So it is the responsibility of the building maintenance to ensure that they are working properly by having the necessary experts and parts on hand to fix whatever problem might arise. In some cases where the escalators and elevators have seen its better days, parts are very hard to find that causes extreme inconvenience to people who need to use them. It sometimes takes weeks and months to locate a part that is needed to repair the damage. Thought there are stairs to use, having access to escalators for a trip to the next floor is very much needed by people who need it the most.
An escalator could have a thousand different parts, how often a part needs to be replaced should not be a question on whether it should be part of the stock inventory or not. Parts that are often replaced should always be on hand while parts that are periodically maintained should have at least two or three stocks kept in case of emergency. Being ready is much better than being caught an aware and having to stress oneself on problems that can be avoided from the start.
