The Sallent City Council has reported on the constant breakdowns of the Rampinya outdoor elevator, attributing them to structural and design problems since its initial installation.

A technical report commissioned by the council has identified frequent issues with the electronic door control board and mechanical overload due to the heavy weight of the glass doors.
The City Council will carry out an exhaustive repair and modernization this November to address the main causes of the incidents and significantly improve the elevator's operation, with a view to its eventual permanent replacement.
The institution states that they continue to work to ensure the proper functioning of this connection, considered essential for the neighborhood.
