FAQ to ELEVATOR MODERNIZATION

Why modernize, how it brings benefits, when is the right time to do it, and what does this operation implies? These are just a few of the questions addressed.

  • Frequent breakdowns and recurring out-of-service incidents signal a need for more than just modernization; replacing the elevator entirely becomes a prudent consideration. Likewise, if safety regulations have significantly evolved beyond the capabilities of the installed system, modernization efforts may prove insufficient, necessitating complete elevator replacement.

  • What is included in the modernization package depends on the needs and specifics of the building, as well as the expectations of the owner or property manager.

    Let's discuss it on the basis of the MONOSPACE UPGRADE® DX. It includes the replacement of the control system with KONE KCE and the replacement of all wiring. The upgraded lift gains a precise cabin leveling system, a new voice communication system and a cabin door light curtain. The inverter, safety contacts, control panel in the cabin, stop signaling and LED shaft lighting are also subject to modernization.

    Therefore, the modernization of KONE elevators means not only a longer service life of the solutions and high comfort of use, but also greater safety.

  • KONE's experts have developed two solutions which can be applied to existing elevator shafts. KONE NanoSpace™ is dedicated to residential buildings; It improves ineffective and uncomfortable systems. The KONE MonoSpace®, on the other hand, is a variant for buildings with a higher flow of people – reliable and smooth regardless of the frequency of journeys.

  • We are discussing whether to change the building's purpose, the need to comply with standards, or perhaps the necessity of creating a barrier-free environment? KONE not only deals with elevator modernization but also their implementation - often in very demanding investments. Our specialists also build elevators where there is no space for a typical lift.

    Depending on the type of building, alternative locations for elevators are found even where a lift was not initially planned.

  • Refreshing the design of your elevator can enhance the aesthetics of your building's interior, creating a more modern and appealing environment for tenants and visitors.

  • Estimating the cost of KONE elevator modernization involves several factors, making it more complex than flat-rate pricing. Here’s a breakdown of what influences the cost and how KONE can provide tailored solutions:

    Type of Equipment: The current condition and type of your elevator system are crucial in determining the modernization needs and associated costs. Older systems or those in poor condition may require more extensive upgrades.

    Scope of Modernization: Costs vary depending on whether you choose a partial or complete modernization. Partial upgrades target specific components to enhance performance or safety, while complete modernization involves a comprehensive overhaul of the system.

    Building Requirements: Each building has unique needs and usage patterns. Customization based on these factors impacts the overall cost of modernization, ensuring that the solutions fit seamlessly with your building’s requirements.

    Technology Integration: Advanced technologies, such as AI-driven predictive maintenance or IoT connectivity, can influence the modernization cost. These innovations offer enhanced performance and efficiency but may come with additional costs.
