Elevator Repairs
Hydraulic Elevator Repair:
Hydraulic elevators are an oil and pressure based system. Pressurized oil is introduced to a jack which raises the car to a certain floor. The pressure is released to lower the piston back into the jack causing the elevator to come down to a lower floor. As you can imagine, there are many moving parts throughout this process.
Our mobile response teams are equipped with a dynamic inventory of more than 1,200 parts, ensuring swift and efficient resolution of your elevator problems. They have the experience and certifications (CET + QEI) necessary to assess what your situation calls for. At times, rebuilding, replacement, or modernization services are needed. Sometimes our teams can come up with a solution that doesn’t require additional parts.
With proper communication between us and whomever is managing the elevator asset, we can arrive at the proper solution. Our CET (Certified Elevator Technician) and QEI (Qualified Elevator Inspector) certified team would be happy to come on site to assess any repair needed.
Traction Elevator Repair:
Traction elevator repairs are crucial to the safety and reliability of your elevator system. These elevators are made up of many moving parts that are subject to wear and tear over time. If not properly maintained, these parts can fail, leading to serious safety hazards.
A qualified traction elevator repair company can identify and address potential problems before they cause serious damage or injury. Miller Elevator’s technicians have the expertise and experience to repair or replace any component of your elevator system, from the ropes and pulleys to the motors and controls.
Don’t wait until your elevator breaks down to schedule a repair. By having your elevator regularly inspected and maintained by a qualified technician, you can help to ensure that it will continue to operate safely and reliably for many years to come.

Elevator Troubleshooting:
Troubleshooting elevator malfunctions can be complex, due to the large number of moving parts and the specialized knowledge required. Even for experienced technicians, it can be challenging to identify the root cause of an intermittent problem, especially in large buildings with complex elevator systems.
Common elevator problems include:
- Slow wait times: As elevators age and relays wear down, they may become less efficient and take longer to arrive.
- Overheating: During hot weather, elevator drives and control systems that are not properly cooled can overheat, leading to breakdowns.
- Sudden stops or unsmooth landings: Timing issues, electrical failures, and faulty electronics can cause elevators to stop suddenly, land abruptly, or land above or below the floor.
- Sensor or power failures: Sensor failures and backup generator problems can prevent elevator doors from opening or the elevator system from operating entirely.
