Lift Spare Parts Store and Van Stock

Lift spares are counted in the store and in the hands of each technician. Every part that leaves is issued against a lift number, so the history of that machine is complete.

What the store holds

Spares for lifts are many and small. Each belongs to a make and a model.

Door parts

Door rollers, hangers, locks, sills, belts, door operator parts and safety edges, held by the make they fit. Makes are rarely interchangeable.

Electrical and control

Control cards, contactors, relays, limit switches, push buttons, display boards and the wiring harness your technicians use most.

Machine and shaft

Ropes, guide shoes, brake liners, governor parts, buffers and the oil and grease a routine visit consumes.

Rescue device batteries

Batteries for an automatic rescue device, with the date each was fitted so a weak one is not missed.

Tools and consumables

Meters, tackles, lamps and cleaning material issued to a technician. The store expects these back.

Issue, van stock and return

A part leaves the store in two ways. It is either issued straight against a lift during a call, or handed to a technician to carry, which becomes his own van stock. What a technician holds is visible to the store and to the desk, so a card already in a bag is not ordered again. Parts fitted are deducted from that stock, and unused parts are returned and counted back.

Reorder and purchase

The store watches what moves and what sits.

Reorder levels

Each part carries a level below which it appears on the short list. Purchase staff work from that list.

Orders on suppliers

Orders go to the lift maker, an importer or a local supplier, and stock is received against the order.

Chargeable parts

A part outside the cover type is marked chargeable, and the invoice for it follows from billing.

Slow and dead stock

Parts for a make you no longer service show as unmoved, so the owner can decide what to do.

What the store module leaves to you

  • Reorder levels for every part, set from your own consumption
  • Whether a technician may issue a part to himself without the store
  • Which parts count as chargeable under each cover type
  • Barcode or QR labelling, if you want it, is scoped before go-live
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can a part be traced to the lift it was fitted to?

Yes. Every issue carries a lift number, so the machine history lists each card, roller and rope fitted to it.

Is the stock a technician carries counted separately?

Yes. Van stock sits under that technician’s name and reduces as he fits parts at the buildings on his route.

How is a part from an old make handled?

It is held like any other, against the make and model it suits. Unmoved parts are listed for the owner.

Can purchase orders be raised here?

Yes. Orders go to your suppliers from the short list, and goods arriving are booked against that order.
