Three upgrade tiers. Right-sized to the building.
Replace controller, dispatch, and signalling. Restores code compliance and improves ride control. 5–7 days downtime per elevator.
VVVF drive, regenerative energy recovery, hoisting upgrade. 30–50% energy reduction typical. 10–14 days downtime per elevator.
Drive + controller + cabin + doors + safety system. Effectively a new elevator inside the existing shaft. 21–28 days downtime per elevator.
Benefits across every tier.
- 30–50% energy reduction typical with VVVF drives and regenerative recovery.
- Smoother ride quality; quieter operation; reduced lobby noise.
- Full compliance with current EN 81-20/50 safety standards.
- Renewed cabin interior — finishes brought up to current premium standards.
- Modern fixtures, signalling, and accessibility features.
- Reduced ongoing maintenance cost — modern components are cheaper to service.
- 24-month warranty on every modernized component.
- Modernization can be partial (selected elevators in a bank) or complete (whole building).
Done in occupied buildings, with minimal disruption.
Modernization is planned around your building's occupancy. For multi-elevator banks, we modernize one elevator at a time so the building always has working vertical transport. For single-elevator buildings, we coordinate temporary access alternatives (stair access for low-rise, scheduled work windows for high-rise) and complete each phase as quickly as the equipment allows.
The free modernization audit.
Before any modernization quote, we conduct a free on-site audit: a senior engineer inspects every elevator in the building, documents current condition, identifies code gaps, calculates current energy consumption, and recommends the right tier per unit. The audit takes 2–3 hours per building and is delivered as a written report with photos within 5 working days.
