What elevator modernization services can we offer?
Replace hydraulic elevators
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.
Installing Automatic Elevator Doors
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.
Increase Elevator Speed
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.
Machine-Room-Less Elevator
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.
Dual Elevator System Upgrade
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.
Full Elevator Replacement
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.
Supported elevator brands
No matter what brand your elevator is, we can provide you with elevator modification services. Whether it is Otis, Schindler, ThyssenKrupp, Delta, Savaria, Garaventa or other brands, BDFUJI can provide you with professional modification support.
We have experienced elevator engineers and are equipped with sufficient elevator parts to quickly respond to your modification needs.
Modernization Costs
The cost of elevator modernization varies depending on the site conditions, the scope of work, and the equipment required. Generally:
For hydraulic elevators, the modernization cost ranges from $50,000 to $150,000, which may include upgrades to the control system, door equipment, pump units, and fixtures. If the cylinder needs to be replaced, this will significantly increase the cost.
For traction elevators, the scope of modernization is broader and typically includes replacing the controller, machine, door equipment, and possibly the interior of the cabin. The cost typically ranges from $100,000 to $200,000.
Partial modernization is always an option to spread the costs. Upgrading key components can reduce downtime and allow for reuse when a full modernization is required, ensuring that the money spent is not wasted.
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.
