Cut equipment running costs
Modern lifts use improved hoisting and controller technology including regenerative drive technology, meaning running costs are significantly reduced and performance is maximized.
A new lift will enhance the appearance of your building and provide a new level of ride comfort for users. Replacing your lift will also make significant improvements to the cost-effectiveness of your equipment whilst allowing you to take advantage of connectivity and the latest value-adding technology.

KONE has been innovating for over a century and we’re a global leader in innovation and technology.
KONE DX CLASS LIFTS
When you replace an lift, connectivity comes built-in. This enables you to use the latest technology to anticipate maintenance needs with predictive maintenance. You can even have issues fixed over the air with remote services. Connectivity also unlocks lift data integration to building management system and new digital services for users.
REGENERATE ENERGY
KONE’s regenerative drive technology recovers braking energy from the lift motor and feeds it back into the building’s power grid. Benefit from up to 40% in energy savings by recovering energy from daily lift use. This improves efficiency, lowers costs, and supports sustainability.
Predictive maintenance
KONE 24/7 Connect monitors equipment in real-time and utilizes AI-based analytics to evaluate equipment status and health, enabling the identification of potential issues before they cause problems.
By replacing your aging lift with modern equipment, you’ll benefit from best-in-class energy efficient components. Predictive maintenance helps minimize carbon emissions by reducing unnecessary callouts.
Replacing your old lift with a modern one means big savings. For example, the KONE MonoSpace® 500 is estimated to be up to 74% more energy efficient than its 1990s counterpart.
In a mid-rise building, KONE regenerative drives can recover 20-40% of an lift system’s total energy consumption for other uses. In taller buildings, the energy savings can be even greater.
Got a question about replacing your lift? Find the answer below.
Lift modernisation means upgrading (parts of) an existing lift system to improve performance, safety, energy efficiency, and appearance. Instead of a full replacement, specific components such as the control system, drive unit, or lift car can be upgraded. It’s a smart way to enhance your lift without major structural work.
You should consider modernising your lift if it is over 15 years old, frequently breaks down, operates slowly or uncomfortably, or no longer meets current safety standards. A lift inspection by our experts will provide insight into the technical condition and help determine whether partial modernisation or full replacement is needed.
A modernised lift offers greater comfort, improved safety, lower energy costs, and a more attractive appearance for your building. It also increases the value of your property and reduces the risk of breakdowns. With modern technologies such as predictive maintenance and regenerative drives, your lift is also future-ready.
To minimize inconvenience, a clear schedule will be discussed with you in advance, with the level of disruption depending in part on the scope of the project. During the installation, you will be kept informed of the project's progress.
The cost of lift modernisation depends on factors such as the type of lift, its age, the components to be replaced, and the desired level of modernisation. We provide customised quotes based on a technical inspection and your specific needs. This way, you’ll know exactly what to expect and can spread the investment over time.
