Lift Inspection App runs structured lift inspections across every site. Inspectors complete forms on a phone or tablet, capture photo and voice evidence on each lift, and raise corrective actions the moment something fails. Managers see lift compliance status, open issues, and performance across every site in real time.
Lift Inspection App runs a structured lift inspection covering car levelling and ride quality, door operation and reopening safety, emergency alarm and communication, safety gear, ropes, and buffers, and machine-room and controls condition, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, lift findings live on paper and in chat. A lift fault such as mis-levelling at floors slips through. An audit then means rebuilding lift evidence from folders.
Lift Inspection App keeps one record per lift and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each lift finding is tracked to verified closure. Lift maintenance teams see lift completion and overdue actions across the facilities management portfolio. Every lift record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Lift Inspection App?
A comprehensive lift inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Inspect lifts for license compliance, mechanical condition, and AMC governance with structured records per car. Your inspection should include sections for car levelling and ride quality, door operation and reopening safety, and emergency alarm and communication, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every inspection finding is traceable.
How to Use Lift Inspection App
A consistent routine keeps lift inspections reliable across every site. Follow these steps to run an effective inspection:
Open the assigned lift template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, lift, date, and inspector.
Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the condition of the lift.
Attach a photo or voice note for any finding, especially mis-levelling at floors, doors that fail to reopen on obstruction, dead emergency alarm, worn ropes or safety-gear faults.
For every failed lift item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
Sign off the lift form. The lift report generates automatically and syncs to the multi-site dashboard.
What Does a Lift Inspection Cover?
A lift inspection covers car levelling and ride quality, door operation and reopening safety, emergency alarm and communication, safety gear, ropes, and buffers, and machine-room and controls condition. Lift maintenance teams capture photo evidence on each lift point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the lift round off. So every lift record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

How Lift Inspection App Runs a Lift Inspection
Step 1
Define and Deploy
Build the lift template with objective pass-fail criteria and schedule it to mobile teams.
Step 2
Capture and Verify
Inspectors run the inspection with photo evidence on each finding, such as mis-levelling at floors, doors that fail to reopen on obstruction, dead emergency alarm, worn ropes or safety-gear faults, and failed items raise corrective actions.
Step 3
Report and Improve
Dashboards built on verified lift data reveal recurring patterns on the lift across every site.

What Lift Teams Fix When Inspections Move Off Paper
Lift work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Lift Inspection App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Lift checks signed off on paper with no proof the lift was actually checked
A lift inspection is ticked off on a paper form. Weeks later someone asks whether the lift was actually checked, and whether mis-levelling at floors, doors that fail to reopen on obstruction, dead emergency alarm, worn ropes or safety-gear faults were looked at. Nobody can say for certain the lift passed.
Problem
Lift checks recorded on paper with no evidence attached
No way to confirm mis-levelling at floors, doors that fail to reopen on obstruction, dead emergency alarm, worn ropes or safety-gear faults were actually inspected
Lift findings re-keyed into a spreadsheet, with errors and delay
Solution
One digital lift form with required fields and validation
Photo, GPS, and timestamp on every lift check
Lift findings sync to the dashboard, no re-keying
The same lift defect comes back every cycle
Mis-levelling at floors, doors that fail to reopen on obstruction, dead emergency alarm, worn ropes or safety-gear faults on the lift are fixed, then reappear weeks later. Each lift defect is treated as fresh because nobody sees it is the third time this quarter. The lift root cause is never addressed.
Someone spends Friday afternoon collecting lift photos, notes, and inspection records into a report. By the time leadership reads it, the lift data is days old and the next problem is already live.
Problem
Lift reports compiled by hand from photos and notes
Leadership reads lift data that is already days old
Every lift report looks slightly different
Solution
Branded lift reports generate automatically per site and period
Scheduled lift reports reach managers before the morning meeting
One consistent lift report format across the estate
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Lift Inspection App check on a lift inspection?
Lift Inspection App runs a structured lift inspection covering car levelling and ride quality, door operation and reopening safety, emergency alarm and communication, safety gear, ropes, and buffers, and machine-room and controls condition. Each point is captured on mobile with photo evidence against it, and a named inspector signs the round off before it can close. The same template runs on every site, so lift maintenance teams work to one standard rather than a version that drifts between locations. Every record proves what was checked, when, and by whom, so the evidence is ready long before an assessor asks for it.
Which lift defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The inspection targets the lift failures that matter most: mis-levelling at floors, doors that fail to reopen on obstruction, dead emergency alarm, and worn ropes or safety-gear faults. Left unchecked, a fault such as mis-levelling at floors can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so lift maintenance teams fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Lift Inspection App support for lift work?
Lift Inspection App keeps lift checks aligned to EN 81 and LOLER 1998. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, lift maintenance teams pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run lift checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Lift Inspection App is offline-first: teams complete lift checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So lift maintenance teams get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a plant room or basement never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a lift inspection was completed?
Every completed lift inspection carries car interior photo, alarm test note, and machine-room photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, lift maintenance teams can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
