A good maintenance routine catches these early. Without one, you find out when someone is stuck between floors.
Carrymax Lifts provides lift AMC services in India for residential societies, independent homes, offices, malls, hospitals, hotels and factories. We are a lift manufacturer based at IMT Faridabad, Haryana, and our team started out installing and commissioning lifts for other brands. That background means we understand how lifts from many makers are built, wired and adjusted.
This page explains what a lift AMC covers, the difference between comprehensive and non-comprehensive contracts, what drives lift AMC charges, what happens on each service visit, and how to switch your AMC to Carrymax.
What Is a Lift AMC?
A lift AMC (annual maintenance contract) is a yearly agreement under which a lift company inspects, cleans, lubricates, adjusts and repairs your lift on a fixed schedule. It also covers breakdown calls. The goal is simple: keep the lift safe, keep it running, and stop small faults from turning into expensive repairs.
A good AMC gives you:
- Scheduled preventive visits, usually monthly, by a trained technician
- Breakdown support with a defined response time
- Safety checks on doors, brakes, governor, ARD and alarms
- Service records for each visit, useful for lift inspections and licence renewals
- Predictable costs, so maintenance fits into your yearly budget
Types of Lift AMC We Offer
Comprehensive lift AMC
A comprehensive AMC covers scheduled maintenance, breakdown labour and most spare parts within the contract terms. You pay a higher yearly fee, but you avoid surprise bills when a part fails. It suits busy commercial buildings, hospitals and societies that want fixed yearly costs.
Non-comprehensive lift AMC
A non-comprehensive AMC covers scheduled maintenance, inspection and breakdown labour. Spare parts are billed separately when they are needed. The yearly fee is lower, which suits newer lifts and buildings with light usage.
Custom AMC for multiple lifts
For buildings, campuses and companies with several lifts, we create a single contract with one visit schedule, one point of contact and consolidated reporting.
| Feature | Comprehensive AMC | Non-comprehensive AMC |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduled preventive visits | Included | Included |
| Breakdown call labour | Included | Included |
| Lubrication and adjustments | Included | Included |
| Spare parts | Most parts included as per contract | Charged separately |
| Yearly fee | Higher | Lower |
| Best for | Busy and older lifts, fixed budgets | Newer lifts, light usage |
Lift AMC Charges: What Decides the Price
Building owners often ask for a fixed figure, but lift AMC charges vary from building to building. Two lifts with the same capacity can have very different lift annual maintenance charges because of how they are used and what condition they are in.
These factors shape your lift maintenance cost:
- Type of AMC: comprehensive costs more than non-comprehensive because it includes parts.
- Number of floors and stops: more doors, landings and wiring to check.
- Lift type and capacity: passenger, hospital, capsule, MRL or goods lift.
- Age and condition: older lifts need more attention and more frequent part changes.
- Usage: a mall lift running all day works far harder than a home lift.
- Machine and controller make: some brands have costlier or harder-to-find spares.
- Number of lifts: multi-lift contracts usually work out cheaper per lift.
- Location and response time: faster response commitments may change the fee.
We give a written quote after inspecting your lift. The quote lists what the contract covers, what it excludes, visit frequency and response time. That way you can compare lift maintenance charges between companies fairly, line by line.
Why the cheapest AMC can cost more
A low-cost AMC with rushed visits often leads to more breakdowns, bigger part failures and longer downtime. A lift that stops for two days in a hospital, mall or housing society costs far more than the difference in AMC fees. Look at what the visit includes, not just the yearly price.
What We Check on Every Preventive Maintenance Visit
Our technicians follow a checklist on each visit and record the results. Depending on the lift type, this covers:
Machine room and drive
- Motor, gearbox or gearless machine condition and noise
- Brake operation and brake lining wear
- Controller, contactors, relays and wiring connections
- VFD drive parameters and fault logs
- Governor operation and rope condition
Shaft and car
- Guide rails, rail brackets and lubrication
- Suspension ropes, tension and wear
- Car and counterweight guide shoes
- Travelling cable and shaft wiring
- Car top and pit cleaning
Doors and landings
- Door operator, rollers, tracks and alignment
- Door interlocks and contacts at every floor
- Door sensors or light curtains
- Landing call buttons and indicators
Safety devices
- Automatic Rescue Device (ARD) and battery health
- Emergency alarm, intercom and cabin lighting
- Overload device and final limit switches
- Pit buffers and safety switches
- Floor levelling accuracy
After each visit, you get a service report that notes any part showing wear, so you can plan replacements before they fail.
Breakdown Support When You Need It
Even well-kept lifts can stop because of power issues, misuse or part failure. Under a Carrymax AMC, you get:
- A direct breakdown number for your building
- Priority response for passenger entrapment
- Trained technicians who carry common spares
- A clear report on the cause and the fix
People searching for lift AMC near me usually want one thing: a technician who arrives fast. Our service teams cover Faridabad, Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, Sonipat, Panipat, Karnal, Kurukshetra, Palwal and Chandigarh. If your building is in Gurugram, see our page on lift maintenance services in Gurgaon for local coverage.

We maintain lifts we manufacture and many makes from other brands, subject to an inspection of their condition:
- Passenger lifts in residential societies, offices and hotels
- Home lifts in independent houses and villas
- Hospital and stretcher lifts in hospitals and nursing homes

- Machine room-less (MRL) lifts
- Freight and goods lifts in factories and warehouses

Learn more about the lifts we manufacture on our passenger lifts page.
Signs Your Lift Needs Better Maintenance
If any of these sound familiar, your current maintenance is not working well enough:
- The lift stops a few centimetres above or below the floor
- Doors close slowly, bang shut or reopen without reason
- You hear grinding, squealing or knocking from the shaft or machine room
- The cabin jerks when starting or stopping
- Breakdowns happen more than once in a few months
- Technicians visit but no service report is shared
- The ARD fails during power cuts
Each of these points to a part that needs attention. Fixing it early usually costs far less than waiting for a breakdown.

- Keep the machine room locked, clean, dry and well ventilated.
