Why modernising an ageing lift doesn't mean weeks out of action 🛗
Picture the scene: a lift out of action for weeks. Queues growing. Building users complaining as they're forced to take the stairs.
It's a common concern among the building owners and facilities managers KONE speaks to: that modernising a lift will inevitably mean weeks of disruption and considerable expense.
But lift upgrades have evolved.
While a full replacement is the right solution in some circumstances, many lifts can benefit from targeted upgrades that improve reliability, energy efficiency and performance without replacing the entire system. At KONE, we approach every modernisation project as practically as possible, starting with what’s actually needed. And because some upgrades can be completed in as little as one week, a modernisation project can be far less disruptive than people may expect.
The biggest shift is that modernisation is no longer an all-or-nothing decision. Building owners often have multiple options to improve lift performance, whether that's targeted upgrades, phased modernisation or a full replacement.
The real advantage is having more choice and more control over when and how to invest. Is your lift modernisation strategy making the most of the options available to you today?
We don't just modernise KONE equipment, so take a look at how our modular approach works if you think a phased upgrade could work for your lift – whatever the make or model: https://lnkd.in/ekAMQG_u
