- Proximity, technology and commitment
What are the most common lift malfunctions?
In most lifts, faults start with the doors: dirty or misaligned sensors, locks that don't close or worn guide shoes. These are followed by the lift stopping out of level, which leaves a step when you get in; faults in the controller or the push-button panel; noise and jerking from the traction machine; and, in hydraulic lifts, oil leaks.
You'll find the full list, along with the causes, in our article on the most common lift faults.

How long does it take for the technician to arrive if the lift breaks down?
The regulations set two deadlines: if people are trapped, the technician must come out immediately; if the lift has simply stopped, the maintenance company has a maximum of 24 hours to send one, according to Royal Decree 355/2024.
Rescuing people trapped in a lift
Our on-call service operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The cabin's communication system connects to the rescue centre so you can request assistance at any time.
Breakdowns with nobody trapped
We diagnose the fault and, if a part needs replacing, we let you know in writing, with the timescale and the cost. If it's urgent, you can count on our 24/7 emergency lift repair in Mallorca.
Who pays for lift repairs in a community of owners?
The community of owners pays for repairs to a common element such as the lift, according to each flat's ownership share, unless the community statutes set a different split. If you own a ground-floor flat, we explain this in our article on whether ground-floor flats pay for the lift. What the maintenance fee covers depends on the contract:
Contract with parts included
The fee covers labour and spare parts for the usual breakdowns, so the community hardly ever gets any surprises.
Servicing-only contract
Parts and some repairs are charged separately. If the lift is getting on in years and breakdowns are adding up, compare the cost of repairs with our service for the modernisation of lifts in Mallorca.

Frequently asked questions about lift repair in Mallorca
The questions we're asked most often when a lift is giving trouble.
What should I do if the lift in my building suddenly breaks down?
If someone is inside, they should press the alarm button in the lift car, and you should call the maintenance company: the rescue must be immediate. If the lift is empty, notify the maintenance company as soon as possible, within 24 hours at the latest, and put a notice on the door so that nobody uses it. At Eleva Balear we deal with breakdowns 24 hours a day on 971 17 81 51.
What signs indicate that a lift needs repair?
New noises or knocks when starting, doors that reopen or are slow to close, a lift car that doesn't stop level with the floor, jerking during the journey, buttons that don't respond or flickering lights. In hydraulic lifts, look out for oil stains in the pit too. It's best to have any of these checked before the lift stops working.
How long does it take to repair a lift breakdown?
It depends on the part. Adjustments to doors, sensors or levelling are usually sorted out on the same visit; if a component has to be ordered from the manufacturer, the repair can take several days. The maintenance company has a maximum of 24 hours to send a technician when the lift is out of service. We explain this in our article on how long it takes to repair a lift.
Do you repair lifts of any make and model in Mallorca?
Yes. We repair electric and hydraulic lifts of all makes and models in Palma and throughout Mallorca, using quality replacement parts. If the breakdown is recurring or the lift is old, we'll work with you to determine if modernisation is more cost-effective than continued repairs.
Is it compulsory to repair the lift if the maintenance company says so?
Yes. When the maintenance company states in writing that a part must be repaired or replaced for safety reasons, the community of owners has to do so within the time limit the company sets. If that time limit expires without the repair being made, the community must ask for the lift to be taken out of service. If it disagrees with the diagnosis, it can commission an inspection from an authorised inspection body.
What safety measures are in place while a lift is being repaired?
The lift is taken out of service, with warning signs in place, while the technician works in the shaft, the pit or on the machinery. When the work is finished, the doors, levelling and safety components are tested before the lift is put back into service, and the repair is recorded in the lift's maintenance logbook.
