Lift Servicing By 3rd Party Contractors For Schindler Lift

[airman 1]

Hi! All,

Is there any 3rd party lift contractors doing servicing and maintenance for Schindler lift?

Schindler is charging 2k plus annually which I find it steep.

Thanks

There should not be any such contractor. These are not generic equipments or materials like cement, bricks & the likes.

This is the gist of free market economy. If you invent or is a manufacturer of something proprietary, you can basically charge anything & be rich!!!

Think logically!!

A branded equipment usually has proprietary parts made by that particular brand.

If there indeed were third party contractor, how would these company be able to earn any profit if they can only buy the parts from the brand.

It is also likely the schematics are proprietary & you risk messing up the system, along with any software safety features, which renders the lift unsafe to use.

This is applicable as with all mechanical equipment.

Even if there are such "authorized" contractor, the price; logically, would not deviates a lot.

Think PROPRIETARY then you'll hopefully understand.

Also, let this be a fair warning to all future potential lift owner. Don't just look at the installation cost & buy the cheapest. Ask about the maintenance aspects.
