If your lift is several years old, it’s likely starting to look its age. As with all machines, time can be harsh on lifts and they will not only look older but will begin to work less efficiently. However, it’s not necessary to replace the entire lift every time. In fact, you may benefit from simply modernising your older lift.

What is Lift Modernisation?

Modernising a lift simply means updating its parts and refurbishing your existing lift. The vast majority of lifts need some replacement parts and a little updating can mean all the difference. However, it’s not just the mechanical parts that get replaced. Everything, including the carpet and paint inside the lift may be replaced to give it a fresh look.


What Are the Benefits?

There are quite a number of benefits to refurbishing your lift. Rather than merely repairing parts, you’re replacing them, which immediately gives your machinery a boost. Here are some other benefits:


Lower Energy Costs 

Tired of paying higher and higher energy bills? Fortunately, modernising your lift can ensure those bills drop. The older the lift is, the less energy efficient it will be. That means when you replace the older parts, you immediately see a drop in energy costs.

 

Less Maintenance 

Another cost-saving measure appears in maintenance. While the initial modernisation will cost you a certain amount, it ensures the lift will run well for a long while without needing repairs. The maintenance is much simpler on a lift that has been completely refurbished. With new parts, you can expect them to last for at least a few years before they begin to wear down.

 

More Efficiency 

You can drastically increase the efficiency of your lift by refurbishing it and bringing the parts up to the latest technological levels. It will work faster and stop less, ensuring you have the most efficient option available to you with your current model.

 

Improved Safety 

The older a lift is, the more outdated its safety protocols are. These days, there are better methods of preventing injuries in a lift and these may be implemented. For example, there are now improved door sensors to prevent the doors from closing when there is an obstacle in the way.

 

New braking and support systems will also enhance the safety of the lift. You can rest assured that everything is secure. Modernised lifts are also nicer to look at and more comfortable to ride in. The interior may also receive refurbishment and this can result in a rather appealing aesthetic that you’ll appreciate as you use the lift daily.
