We Provide Comprehensive Elevator Modernization Solutions

 Many elevators in old buildings use hydraulic systems, which rely on oil pressure to operate. These systems require frequent maintenance and are costly. To reduce maintenance costs and minimize the occurrence of malfunctions, we usually replace these elevators with traction systems, ensuring a more stable and cost-effective user experience.

Replace hydraulic elevators

Traditional machine-room elevators take up a significant amount of space, whereas modern machine-room-less (MRL) elevators can perfectly replace them, freeing up more usable area. For commercial properties, this means the reclaimed space can be leased out, creating greater value.

Machine-Room-Less Elevator

 Manually operated elevator doors no longer meet modern standards. We can quickly replace them with automatic doors. This minor upgrade, typically carried out by homeowners' associations or housing companies, can significantly enhance the elevator user experience.

Installing Automatic Elevator Doors

In some buildings, dual elevator systems still operate in the old mode, where one elevator stops at even-numbered floors and the other at odd-numbered floors. We can upgrade them so that each elevator serves all floors, reducing wait times and improving travel efficiency.

Dual Elevator System Upgrade

Slow elevators can be frustrating, especially in high-rise buildings. Older elevators often operate at just 0.5 meters per second, but through upgrades, we can increase the speed to the modern standard of 1.0 meter per second. This makes elevator operation more efficient and ensures a smoother experience for passengers.

Increase Elevator Speed

Replacing the entire elevator enhances safety, comfort, and energy efficiency while reducing maintenance costs. During construction, we implement phased installation or provide temporary elevators to ensure residents always have access to an elevator, minimizing disruption to daily travel. The upgraded elevator is more stable and efficient, offering a safer and more comfortable riding experience.

Should You Modernization or Replacement Your Elevator?

In the elevator industry, the 20-year rule is a common guide: if your elevator is less than 20 years old and repair costs are reasonable, modernization is usually the smarter choice. If it is over 20–25 years old or repairs keep getting more expensive, replacement may save you more in the long run.

Safety First!

Some elevator problems, like brake failure or governor malfunction, can put passengers at serious risk. In these cases, replacement is necessary. Regular inspections and preventive maintenance help avoid emergencies before they happen.

Why Modernization Your Elevator?

Most elevators are designed to last 20–30 years. Over time, performance drops, parts wear out, and safety standards change. Modernization gives your elevator new life without the full cost of replacement.

Benefits of Modernization

  • Enhanced Safety – Meet today’s international safety codes and protect passengers.

  • Better Performance – Reduce downtime and improve ride reliability.

  • Lower Costs – Save energy and cut maintenance expenses.

  • Stronger Sustainability – Extend equipment life and reduce environmental impact.

  • Improved Experience – Modern cabin design, shorter wait times, smoother rides.

Modernization Costs

The cost of elevator modernization depends on site conditions, work scope, and equipment needs. Generally:

Our traction elevator modernization includes replacing controllers, machines, door equipment, and sometimes the cabin interior. The starting cost is $1,200.

Partial modernization is an option to manage costs. Upgrading key components reduces downtime and allows for reusing parts in a full modernization, ensuring efficient use of your budget.

When to modernize elevators?

Unfortunately, elevators don’t last forever. After about 20 years, it’s time to consider upgrading and modernizing them to improve passenger safety. As equipment ages and parts wear out, elevator reliability decreases, failures increase, and safety risks increase.
