Advanced 360° vibration analysis technology for elevators and lifts per ABNT NBR 16.899. Full compliance with EN 81-20/50 and ASME A17.1 equivalence. CREA-licensed mechanical engineer with ART-backed inspection reports. All elevator types — traction, hydraulic, freight, panoramic.
Elevator safety is non-negotiable. Regular inspection and vibration analysis prevent accidents, ensure regulatory compliance, and protect building owners from liability.
Most elevator incidents result from deferred maintenance and lack of proper inspection. Vibration analysis detects problems months before they become safety hazards.
We cover all elevator and vertical transportation systems present in the Brazilian market.
Geared and gearless traction systems. Machine-room and machine-room-less (MRL) configurations. High-rise and low-rise applications.
Direct-acting and roped hydraulic systems. Cylinder inspection, valve assessment, oil analysis, and pump unit evaluation.
Heavy-duty freight elevators, service lifts, and dumbwaiters. Load testing, platform integrity, and safety device verification.
Glass-walled observation elevators. Structural glazing assessment, exposed guide rail inspection, and weatherproofing evaluation.
Accessibility platform lifts per ABNT NBR 14712. Vertical and inclined configurations. Safety barriers and control systems.
Escalators, moving walkways, and travelators. Step/pallet chain inspection, handrail systems, comb plates, and speed governors.

Yes. Brazilian municipalities and states enforce periodic elevator inspection requirements. ABNT NBR 16.899 establishes the safety rules for the construction and installation of elevators, and local regulations (such as São Paulo's Law 10.348/1987 and Goiás' Law 14.186/2002) mandate annual or biannual inspections by a qualified engineer. Non-compliance can result in fines, equipment shutdown orders, and legal liability for building owners and managers.
360° vibration analysis is an advanced diagnostic method that captures vibration data across all axes of elevator operation — vertical, horizontal, and lateral — throughout the full travel path. This technology enables early detection of guide rail misalignment, worn sheaves, bearing degradation, brake pulsation, door mechanism issues, and structural resonance. The result is a comprehensive vibration profile that identifies problems before they become safety hazards or cause costly breakdowns.
We inspect all elevator types: traction (geared and gearless), hydraulic, freight/cargo, panoramic/observation, platform lifts (accessibility), and escalators/moving walks. All major brands: Otis, ThyssenKrupp, Schindler, KONE, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Fujitec, Atlas Schindler, Novael, Villarta, and all other manufacturers present in the Brazilian market.
Inspection frequency depends on local legislation, but the general standard is an annual inspection by a qualified engineer. High-traffic elevators (hospitals, shopping malls, metro stations) may require semi-annual inspections. Vibration analysis is recommended at least annually, or whenever abnormal noise, vibration, or ride quality issues are detected. New installations require commissioning inspection before entering service.
Yes. We deliver bilingual documentation — the official inspection report and ART in Portuguese (as required by Brazilian authorities) plus an English translation for your corporate records. All communication during the inspection process is conducted in English.
