Elevator safety and efficiency are some non-negotiables for any building owner or manager. Regular inspections, maintenance, and adherence to safety codes are essential to ensure elevators’ smooth and reliable operation.
The elevator data tag is a small but valuable tool for achieving these goals. It provides crucial information about an elevator, such as its maintenance history, inspection results, and serial number.
For businesses that rely on elevators to keep operations running smoothly, elevator data tags make it easy to identify safety concerns early on, schedule timely maintenance, ensure compliance with regulations, and prevent downtime.
Metal Marker Manufacturing Company creates durable, custom elevator tags that meet the highest safety and quality standards. Fill out our Free Quote form or call us at (800) 428-0095 today to learn more and place an order.
Applications
Each elevator tag we offer can be customized with your preferred information, such as serial number, model number, manufacturer, and inspection history. Depending on the data on the elevator tag, it could serve several applications. The following are some examples:
ASME A17.1 Compliance
One primary use for elevator data tags is meeting the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (SME) A17.1 safety code requirements for elevators and escalators. These tags display critical elevator information, such as operational guidelines, weight limits, and safety instructions.
Max Occupancy Signage
Elevators must display their maximum occupancy to prevent overloading, which can lead to mechanical failure or safety risks. Custom elevator tags make it possible to communicate this information, helping protect both users and equipment.
Fire Safety and Emergency Procedures
Clearly marked tags are essential for guiding passengers and personnel in an emergency. Elevator tags can include important fire safety instructions, emergency procedures, and other safety warnings to ensure everyone knows how to respond in critical situations.
Inspection and Maintenance Tracking
Regular inspections and maintenance are crucial for keeping elevators functioning properly. Tags that record maintenance history and inspection details allow businesses to track elevator performance and confirm that all safety checks are current.
Durability
Code requirements dictate that elevator data tags must be permanent and withstand various environmental factors without degrading.
Because they are exposed to wear from daily use, cleaning chemicals, temperature fluctuations, and moisture, you must choose elevator tags that are highly durable. Otherwise, vital information could fade, become illegible, or wear off entirely, compromising safety and compliance.
Metal Marker Manufacturing’s elevator tags are made from materials that can withstand challenging conditions while ensuring that the information on them remains legible. You can be confident that our tags will serve their purpose for many years to come.
Materials
Metal Marker Manufacturing offers tags made from top-quality materials, including aluminum and stainless steel, which are well-suited for elevator tags.
Aluminum
This lightweight, corrosion-resistant material is ideal for long-term use in both indoor and outdoor environments. Its durability and resistance to fading make it an excellent option for elevator tags that must last several years.
Stainless Steel
With its exceptional strength and resistance to chemicals and wear, stainless steel is best for more demanding applications. Elevator tags made from this material remain legible and intact, even in harsh conditions.
Processes
Metal Marker Manufacturing uses a range of processes to create custom elevator data tags.
The following are some examples:
MetalPhoto (Photo Anodization)
This process embeds images, text, and barcodes into anodized aluminum for a durable finish. The results are long-lasting, scratch-resistant, and fade-resistant. MetalPhoto is often used for identification tags, nameplates, and decorative items as well as elevator data tags.
Etching
Etching is one of the marking methods the ASME mentions by name in its safety code. It involves using a laser or chemical process to engrave information onto metal. Etching can be filled with color for enhanced visibility, but the infill may wear over time.
