Modernization

The elevator industry identifies life expectancy of vertical transportation equipment as 25-30 years; however, we are noting a shift in that timeframe to

20-25 years with “newer” equipment.  Obsolescence is becoming one of the major contributors to this timeframe shift and thus a major contributor for modernization with parts becoming harder to find and down times increasing accordingly.  Newer technology offers more energy efficient options, improved reliability and reduced waiting times along with code compliance and a safer elevator.
