We are not trying to be rude or ignorant simonsimon, you state the lift was “condemned”. The community has advised you need the original manufacturers specification to have any replacement parts manufactured along with a relevant test certificate in order for safety and compliance to be met.
We can help provide a safe solution as informed by social services, please note parts are not available for this lift to ensure the correct & continued safety of the equipment and/or user/s…..
If you went mountain climbing and you were told your rope had frayed, would you continue to use it? This is similar to the condition of how this lift is being used. As I asked, has this lift been fitted with an overspeed governor?, probably not, does the safety gear work?, when was the last LG1 completed?
Continued use is not advised when a competent person has informed the unit should not be in service…
My message may seem harsh and hard, but please think about the dangers you are choosing to ignore.
