Annual safety test

Keep your Greater Cincinnati-area elevator compliant and your riders protected

We serve Greater Cincinnati, northern Kentucky, and nearby communities across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.

We know how important it is to maintain your elevator each year. Tri-State Elevator helps building owners and property managers stay ahead of code with annual safety tests performed by licensed mechanics.

Safety testing requirements vary by equipment type and jurisdiction; we coordinate the correct annual, periodic, and load tests for hydraulic and traction systems so you meet state and city expectations. We track your testing cycle and help ensure it is accomplished on time for local authorities and your insurance provider.

After testing, you should understand what passed, what was adjusted, and what—if anything—needs follow-up work before the next inspection cycle. We document results in a way your team can file with certificates of occupancy or internal compliance trackers.

For a broader look at how safety testing fits alongside other maintenance and repair work, see our safety testing service page.
