Here have some ideas from our 30+ years lift industry experience to assistant you to decide whether upgrade a lift or fully replacement a lift

Is it time to upgrade or replacement a lift?

If the lift /Elevator

  • Unsafe?
  • Over15 years old?
  • A hydraulic lift or a gear machine lift?
  • Difficult to find the spare parts in the market?
  • Does the lift have downtime or disruptions more than 2 – 4 times per year?
  • Is the annual maintenance cost over $7000?

How long does it take to upgrade or replace a lift?

This depends on the building, location within the building, use status and how many floors / stops serviced by the lift. If the building is being used during the lift’s upgrade it will take much longer than you expect, for example:
