We Deliver Expert Elevator Testing and Inspections
To keep your equipment in good order year-round, you can count on Action Elevator for expert elevator testing and inspections. The frequency and type of elevator testing and inspections required for your equipment vary by state. It’s important to note that the state recognizes that it is the responsibility of the building owner, not your elevator service company, to comply with its mandated tests and inspections. With our help, you can ensure that your elevators meet state requirements every time.
Stay in Compliance with Dedicated Elevator Testing
For the safety of your equipment and your passengers, all vertical transportation must be regularly inspected by qualified state-approved authorities. Action Elevator works with you and your inspection provider to ensure your equipment is inspected timely. Action Elevator can help you navigate your state’s, county, or city requirements to be in compliance. This includes any life safety tests or inspections that might apply to your building with smoke and heat devices and generator testing.
Your state-approved authority will notify you directly about the results of your inspection. A copy of that inspection report should be shared with your elevator company. Building owners are typically given 30 days to correct any deficiencies or make any necessary repairs in order to be within compliance. It is important for building owners to correct any and all deficiencies to avoid state inspectors tagging equipment or providing fines.

We test the following types of equipment:
- Traction, MRL, Hydraulic Elevators
- Escalators
- Lifts
