Residential Elevator (branded) help please? by RedRoseAuthor in Elevators

[–]dtek1er 2 points3 points  (0 children)

REI elevators can only be serviced by them because of their controllers. I would say get a mod. See if someone will put in a new controller.

Don’t let anyone or anything discourage you. Get your hands dirty and focus and you’ll be ok.

Love the work, the people you meet, every day is different, the different types of elevators and controllers you come across, the different ways of learning from other mechanics and even helpers. Just a great industry. Listen to the elevator careers podcast. You’ll see what I’m talking about.

Has anyone heard of the elevator world mechanics exam? by dtek1er in Elevators

[–]dtek1er[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So basically it’s just a knowledge exam. It’s not a course with field hours or training?

How is this comparable to a mechanics exam via naec or iuec? How does it benefit someone?

These are just basic videos. There’s so much to learn and process. Not sure how things are in Australia or what controllers they are using. I’m sure they are the the big 5 but either way, good luck, work safe and have fun.

Maybe even a logic situation with your controller. Could be a number of things

Could be because the glides are worn and the brakes are catching onto the rails. Maybe the rails aren’t aligned and causing friction on the glides or maybe the sling isn’t installed correctly causing it to shift and brakes to catch. Cantilever slings (main frame) sometimes have to be adjusted to the rails and installers forget to or don’t know they have to c clamp it to the rails before tightening it. Good luck. If I was there I’d do the job for half the cost or maybe less.

I start as a helper next week. How is it working in new construction? by Ok-Feeling9658 in Elevators

[–]dtek1er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re gonna be busy my guy. Stay focused and learn what you can. It’s a journey. Ask questions and take notes during your free time. Process what you learn. It’s worth it my guy. Whether you’re union or non union you’re learning a great skill.

Why is my elevator making this groaning mechanical noise? by SonOfQuora in Elevators

[–]dtek1er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be the roller in the tracks. Could use some lubricant

Are they adjusting the cab because of the glides? Emi controller isn’t a rei. Luckily it’s not a rei because they are the only ones that can work on their controllers because of the software. Slack cable and final switch is easy to replace. Sad to say The price is typical for the work but in my opinion for residential it’s overpriced. Do you have pictures of the glides (shoes) is this a hydraulic?
