Component upgrades

Modernisation by component

Major modernisations often start with one underperforming component. Each page below covers the symptoms, what we do, and the realistic service life you can expect from a targeted upgrade.

Controls

Lift Controllers & Modernisation

The brain of the lift — replacing an obsolete controller is the single biggest reliability and energy upgrade available to most pre-2010 lifts.

Doors & Access

Door Systems

Doors are responsible for around 70% of all lift breakdowns. Modernising door operators and detectors pays back faster than any other component.

Drive & Motion

Motor & Drive Systems

Replacing an aging two-speed hoist motor and contactor drive with a permanent-magnet machine on a VVVF drive transforms ride quality and energy use.

Drive & Motion

Ropes & Suspension

Suspension ropes wear, stretch and corrode. Regular inspection and timely replacement keep the lift safely on-traction and within EN 81-20 wear limits.

Safety

Safety Gear & Governors

The last-line mechanical safety devices — governor, safety gear and buffers — must trip, hold and release exactly as designed when the lift overspeeds.
