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:

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has an outdated and impractical interior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:
