  3. Modernization

Aging elevator equipment can lead to increased operating costs, more frequent breakdowns, and a decline in overall building value. Upgrading your vertical transportation systems is a smart way to improve safety, reliability, and passenger experience. Modernization solutions are available for both traction and hydraulic elevators, regardless of the original manufacturer, helping bring your systems up to current standards.

Elevator Modernization Solutions

Is it time to invest in your elevator equipment?

Elevators are built to last 20 to 25 years, but even with regular maintenance, aging systems can lead to:

  • Safety concerns: Increased vibration and wear can compromise passenger safety.
  • Rising costs: Older equipment consumes more energy and requires frequent repairs.
  • Longer downtimes: Breakdowns disrupt service and inconvenience occupants.

If your building is experiencing these issues, it may be time to modernize.
