While we believe in long product lifecycles and doing everything we can to extend the lifetime of existing elevators with preventive maintenance, timely repairs and thoughtful modernisation, eventually the time comes to say goodbye. When that happens, EOX Renew steps in. It doesn’t just deliver on replacing your lift, it considerably improves the entire mobility experience of the building.
Replacing your old elevator with EOX Renew
Space makes all the difference
EOX Renew is designed to use every centimetre of available shaft space to the benefit of cabin space for passengers. Whereas the chunky mechanical components of old elevators often inhabit more than half of the shaft, EOX Renew will always leave a majority for the cabin. First, because of its space-saving arrangement of the shaft equipment. And second, because its adjustable cabin dimensions will then fill even the last available gap.
In typical cases and under real-life circumstances replacing an elevator with EOX Renew will result in an up to 50% bigger cabin. By the numbers, this means that one or two additional passengers can join a ride. However, for some buildings it will signify a major accessibility upgrade, because their elevator is suddenly capable of comfortably transporting an entire family including a baby’s pushchair, or a person in a wheelchair.
How does replacing an elevator work?
1 | Planning, scheduling and disassemblyYour TKE project team will guide you through the configuration of your elevator. A detailed schedule will be created in close coordination with all parties involved (e.g. civil works contractors). When everything is in place with the site prepared and secured, the first task is to disassemble the old elevator. We will start inside the shaft and end with the doors to ensure noise and dust protection. 2 | Installation, commissioning and handoverOnce the shaft is empty and prepared, installation of your EOX Renew replacement elevator will commence. TK Elevator’s certified scaffoldless installation method and a high degree of pre-assembly will guarantee quick and safe progress. When all is done perfectly in time and thoroughly tested, the elevator will be officially commissioned and handed over to you and the building’s residents. 3 | New mobility and an additional roomYour new elevator will delight your residents with comfortable, efficient transport and superior reliability. Well-maintained by TK Elevator’s experienced technicians, it will quickly become a natural part of the building. So will the former machine room that is now empty and awaiting a new life, because EOX Renew’s components are all neatly tucked away elsewhere… |
Did you know?
There are often government subsidies to promote the new installation or renovation of elevators in existing buildings. It may be possible to obtain up to 100% financing with favourable terms and payment plans staggered over time, thereby minimising the economic impact of upgrading your building’s accessibility.
