When ageing lift equipment begins to impact reliability, building owners are often faced with a difficult choice: undertake a costly full replacement or continue managing increasing maintenance demands.

Elevator modernisation upgrades key lift components, such as controllers, doors, or interiors, to improve safety, performance, and reliability. Unlike a full replacement, it retains suitable existing equipment, reducing cost and disruption while extending the lift's lifespan.
Routine servicing keeps your lift running safely, but ageing equipment may eventually need more than maintenance. If you're experiencing frequent breakdowns, rising repair costs, slower performance, or obsolete parts, modernisation may be the smarter long-term option. Contact us today for a lift assessment
The overall investment depends on factors such as the age of the lift, building requirements, and scope of works. Compared to full replacement, modernisation can be a cost-effective solution that enhances performance, reliability, and energy efficiency while extending equipment life.
Project timelines vary based on the size and complexity of the upgrade. Smaller modernisation projects may take just a few days, while more comprehensive upgrades can take several weeks. KONE works to minimise disruption and keep stakeholders informed throughout the process.
Modernisation can significantly improve lift safety and help address gaps between older equipment and current standards. KONE assesses each lift individually and recommends upgrades that enhance safety, reliability, and compliance for your building's specific needs.
