At some stage, all passenger and goods lifts will require some form of modernisation to improve reliability issues and to comply with today’s strict safety compliance requirements. This does not mean (the myth) that every 25-year-old lift must be replaced. Or that a lift modernisation automatically makes the entire building arrangement compliant with safety standards.
Depending on the condition of the lift, its ancillaries and the building's lift infrastructure, there are various options for a lift modernisation.
Typically, a lift modernisation falls into four categories, and our modernisation team will be happy to discuss the differences:
• Minor
• Partial
• Major
• Full replacement
Other myths about lift modernisation that are totally incorrect:
• A fireman’s key automatically makes it a firefighting lift. Absolutely not; the key is to give a fireman access to an entrapped passenger.
• A standard accessible lift can be used for evacuation. Again, absolutely not; a standard lift can potentially be dangerous for passengers in cases of fire.
If you are wondering about which type of lift modernisation matches your budget, time scales and requirements and would like to discuss lift modernisation without myths, now may be the time to speak with Liftec Express. We frequently modernise lifts maintained by third parties and will work with your existing maintenance provider to keep lift downtime to an absolute minimum.
