Consider modernisation if your lift is over 15-20 years old, requires frequent repairs, has outdated safety features, consumes excessive energy, or no longer meets current regulations. Signs include poor ride quality, slow operation, frequent breakdowns, or difficulty sourcing replacement parts.

Modernisation timelines vary depending on the scope of work. Partial modernisations typically take 1-3 weeks, while complete overhauls may require 4-8 weeks. We provide detailed project schedules and work to minimize disruption to your building operations.

This depends on the type and extent of modernisation required. Some upgrades can be performed with minimal downtime, while others require the lift to be out of service for the duration. We discuss scheduling options to minimize inconvenience during the planning phase.

Modernisation involves upgrading mechanical and electrical systems to current standards, while refurbishment typically focuses on aesthetic improvements. Our modernisation service includes both technical upgrades and interior improvements for a complete transformation.

Modernisation often has a positive impact on insurance as it improves safety and reduces breakdown risks. Updated lifts that meet current standards may qualify for reduced premiums. We provide all necessary certification documentation for your insurer.
