We can upgrade your elevator’s performance and appearance, and cut running 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  • has an outdated and impractical interior
