FAQ lift modernisation

Got a question about lift modernisation? Find your answer below.

  • If your lift frequently breaks down, is slow or noisy, or no longer meets current safety and energy standards, modernisation is often a wise choice.

  • That depends on the condition of your installation. In many cases, partial modernisation is possible, such as replacing the control system, drive, or making adjustments to the cabin. Our advisors are happy to assist you. Feel free to contact us for tailored advice.

  • The duration of modernisation depends on the scope of the project. Minor updates can be completed within a few days, while a full modernization may take longer. We plan the work carefully to minimize disruption.

  • In some cases of partial modernisation, the lift can remain in use. However, for larger upgrades, it may need to be temporarily taken out of service. We coordinate the schedule carefully to limit the impact on users.

  • The cost of modernisation varies depending on the age, type, condition of the lift, and the desired upgrades. A no-obligation inspection and customized quote provide the best insight into the expected investment. Our advisors are happy to help.
