Connect for smooth people flow

The lift modernisation cost gives you a connected lift that puts you and your users in control. You can add smart, value-adding services that optimise people flow, make everyday life easier for users, and increase lift safety while ensuring your building is geared up for the future. Lift modernisation ensures that your building evolves with the changing needs of tenants.

Full replacement

With full replacement we completely remove your old lift and install a brand-new, accessibility-compliant one in your building’s existing shaft. We recommend this option if:

  • your lift is more than 25 years old
  • is unreliable, cramped, or slow
  • is difficult for some people to access and use

AVERAGE TIMEFRAME 4-6 WEEKS *

Modular modernization

We can upgrade your lift’s performance and appearance, and cut running costs, by updating entire systems – such as the hoisting machinery, electrification system, or doors – in one go. Modular modernisation is ideal if your lift is:

  • 15 to 20 years old
  • consuming a lot of electricity
  • doesn’t level accurately with landing floors
  • has an outdated and impractical interior

AVERAGE TIMEFRAME 1-2 WEEKS *

  • more than 10 years old
  • suffering from problems like noisy doors or outdated and impractical signalisation

AVERAGE TIMEFRAME 1-2 DAYS *

Performance

Lift modernisation will mean shorter waiting times, fewer repairs and breakdowns, lower running costs, and enhanced lift safety features for tenants and visitors. Modern automatic doors and signalisation will make sure that your lift looks good and is easy to use.

Safety

Our innovative improvements make your lift safer, giving you and your lift users added peace of mind. By modernising with KONE you can benefit from better functioning car doors, accurate car leveling, improved lighting, a two-way communication system inside the car, an emergency power supply in case of power cuts, and much more.

Accessibility

With full replacement lift installation you can increase the size of the car by as much as 50%, and with lift modernisation you can install wide-opening doors to make access easier for people using wheelchairs or pushing prams.

Visual appearance

A good-looking lift complements your building and enhances the lift experience for residents and visitors alike. You can completely transform the look and feel of the car interior with new functional and durable materials, innovative patters and finishes, a modern colour palette, as well as mirrors and other accessories.
