Maintenance Program Development

Tramways are complicated electro/mechanical machines. Imagine machine that often exceed one mile one in length  that consist hundreds of rotating parts that are controlled by a computer with hundreds of inputs.  The challenge of maintaining these complicated machines cannot be underestimated.  These are not off-the-shelf production models. The biggest challenge often comes after the machine is put into public service, the manufacturer's installers leave, the new maintenance staff is just starting to understand the complexity of the  machine and  the lift breaks down when fully loaded. The challenge is to locate, educate and train a qualified maintenance crew as quickly as possible. Once a tramway has been in operation for the first 6 months, maintenance starts to become routine.  The challenge is to make the transition.

Tramway Engineering is on your partner in holding the manufacturer to his responsibility of making the transition between new construction and a stable machine.  We will work with you to develop your maintenance team to lean the skills needed to keep your lift running.
