Elevator Upgrades
We can help with your elevator upgrades
Every lift reaches the point where upgrades need to be considered. We encourage owners to plan ahead and proactively address old obsolete equipment that may not be performing as it should. It is important for owners to understand their lift equipment, and understand what risks exist with safety non-compliances, parts becoming obsolete and components reaching the end of their usable life.
We can help owners by inspecting the equipment and providing recommendations for owners to consider in their future planning. It is always best to plan ahead before lifts reach a point where they breakdown and become unreliable.

Depending on your elevators current condition, we can provide minor or major upgrade packages that will specifically suit your expectations. Appearance, reliability, end of life and financial situations can all be taken into account.
Lifts, like all mechanical equipment, will suffer from wear and tear with age. Parts eventually start failing to deliver the reliable and consistent operation that should be expected. We recommend proactive inspections are carried out to appropriately plan for the future.
We only use compliant, reliable, commercially available and trusted products in our lift modernisation packages. Globally trusted elevator products help strengthen our reputation and ensure your elevator recieves the longevity it deserves from an upgrade.
Frequently Asked Questions
There is no exact expiry date when an elevator needs to be upgraded. We have no control over when a lift will eventually fail. What we can control is proactively planning to upgrade certain components to ensure lifts can remain reliable. Generally, once lift equipment reaches 15-20 years, upgrades should be planned.
Unfortunately lifts do not last forever. Quality lift maintenance will extend the life of equipment, but at some point reliability will become unstable. Parts become obsolete, lift leveling may cause trip hazards, doors may not open properly and the ride quality may become abrupt. The lift may begin to breakdown and may eventually fail to operate. Additionally your existing lift may not meet the current requirements of SafeWork NSW.
Firstly, it is always recommended that we inspect the equipment to provide our opinion. Generally, it is always best to upgrade the main control equipment first. This includes the controller, drive and machine. Followed by the door system, button fixtures and finally the lift interior. If a cosmetic upgrade is requested, this would involve the button fixtures and lift interior only, however this will not improve the overall performance and reliability.
Yes. If requested, we can provide minimal upgrade options to keep costs low and improve the lift reliability.
Most often, yes. We will need to inspect the equipment first to confirm, however generally upgrade packages can be staged to spread out the costs and shorten the lift downtime. Sometimes staged over multiple years with the most important sections upgraded first, and others planned for into the future.
