At a Glance

A cold machine room can leave a hydraulic lift sluggish, unreliable or out of service – and winter is only weeks away. Hydraulic lifts are sensitive to heat and cold. When a machine room runs too warm, the fluid thins and loses viscosity, which can cause erratic movements and poor floor levelling. When it runs too cold, the fluid thickens and the lift becomes sluggish and slow to respond. Either way, you end up with complaints from building users, unplanned callouts and lifts out of service.
