Our Elevator Modernization Solutions

FULL EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT

your elevator is more than 25 years old
is unreliable, cramped, or slow
is difficult for some people to access and use

AVERAGE TIMEFRAME 4-6 WEEKS *

MODULAR MODERNIZATION

We can upgrade your elevator’s performance and appearance, and cut elevator maintenance costs, by updating entire systems – such as the hoisting machinery, electrification system, or doors – in one go. Modular modernization is ideal if your elevator is:

15 to 20 years old
consuming a lot of electricity
doesn’t level accurately with landing floors
has an outdated and impractical interior

AVERAGE TIMEFRAME 1-2 WEEKS *

ELEVATOR COMPONENT UPGRADES

Component upgrades are a quick and cost-effective way to make small improvements to things like the elevator car door operator, signalization, or lighting system. These types of upgrades are recommended for elevators that are:
