Install, service, modernise, replace – repeat

Lifts, escalators and moving walks are complex yet highly upgradeable. With long-term planning, preventive maintenance, and timely modernisation, you can extend their value, cut costs, and protect your investment. Eventually, full replacement becomes the most economical option – starting the cycle anew.

New Installation

The “as good as new” phase of a lift or escalators lasts about a decade. The system is technically and aesthetically up-to-date and meets all user requirements. With a good service plan, no surprises are expected apart from the replacement of worn parts and perhaps one or another unavoidable breakdown.

Maintenance

More frequent breakdowns announce the transition: now an attentive lift and escalator service company partner and swift decisions by the owner are required. With targeted preventive measures and the execution of repairs, manageable investments bring many more years of trouble-free operation.

Modernisation

The best time to modernise a lift or escalator is when you still can choose the timing. Owners who have set up regular upkeep measures are at an advantage and can now pursue a sound modernisation concept. Even if the local authorities issue new regulations, the implementation is less costly for lifts and escalators that are well maintained.

Full Replacement

There are lifts and escalators that have “survived” 40 years and more through constant modernisation. However, the rule is that at some point the gap to the state of the art can only be closed by a replacement system. An appropriately flexible product completely replaces the lift or escalator in the existing shaft. After the conversion, it’s like owning a new product.
