Partial lift modernisation
A PRACTICAL AND BENEFICIAL CHOICE
Safe and Reliable Lift Operation
The control system and traction machine are amongst the principal components ensuring safe and reliable lift operation. During partial modernisation, we replace one of these components with a new unit. This represents an excellent solution for extending the lift's service life.
Quieter and More Precise Lift Operation
The new control system provides more reliable lift management whilst reducing power consumption. Opting for modernisation with traction machine replacement results in quieter and safer operation. The new traction machine also ensures more precise car stopping at floor levels.
Swift and Cost-Effective Solution
Partial lift modernisation is a practical and economical choice.
As only one of the main lift components is modernised, works can be completed swiftly and at minimal cost.
What is Replaced During Partial Lift Modernisation?
During partial modernisation, one of the primary lift components is replaced: either the traction machine or the control system.
The traction machine is responsible for the lift’s ascent, descent, braking, and precise stopping at floor levels. When this mechanism becomes worn, resulting vibrations may cause discomfort to passengers, and lift operation may become notably noisy.
During traction machine modernisation, it is replaced with a new unit that is lighter and quieter. The new traction machine also consumes less electrical power and guarantees more precise car stopping at landings.
The lift control system ensures safe and reliable operation. Many residential buildings still utilise dated relay-based and electromechanical control systems, which frequently malfunction due to mechanical component wear over extended service periods. A lift with such a control system may become unsafe due to the possibility of short circuits in worn control system wiring and travelling flexible cables connecting the car to the control cabinet.
The old relay-based control system is replaced with a new microprocessor-based system, which not only occupies less space but also provides more reliable lift control, incorporating modern safety components and an energy-efficient system.
Partial modernisation works help prevent recurring lift repairs and the resulting inconvenience to residents.
When is Partial Lift Modernisation Required?
Partial lift modernisation becomes necessary when improvement of lift operation is desired, reducing the risk of operational failures and shutdowns due to worn components. Worn primary lift components increase the likelihood that the lift will be deemed unsafe during annual inspection and taken out of service.
