What is the main purpose of checking load weighing devices?

The primary purpose of checking load weighing devices is to prevent overloading. Load weighing devices are crucial safety components within an elevator system, designed to measure the weight of the load in the elevator car. If the load exceeds the designed capacity, this can lead to a range of dangerous situations, including structural damage to the elevator system, reduced safety for passengers, and potential violations of safety regulations.

These devices help ensure that the elevator operates within its specified limits, which is essential for maintaining both the safety of passengers and the integrity of the elevator mechanics. By regularly checking and calibrating these load weighing devices, elevator maintenance professionals can ensure that operational safety is prioritized, and the risk of accident or mechanical failure caused by overloading is minimized.
