Smarter upgrades, built to last
Our Modernisation Programs
Modernising your lift, escalator or moving walk improves performance and compliance without the disruption of full replacement. With United Lifts’ Re-novate, Re-hab, and Re-start solutions, we match the right upgrade to your building’s age and condition — ensuring your money is best spent.
Re-novate (Age 10-20 Years)
When your asset is still in good shape but starting to feel dated, we make targeted improvements.
- New fixtures, indicators, handrails.
- Door upgrades for smoother, safer operation
- Software updates and minor component replacements
Result: Extends your lift’s life, keeps it compliant, and improves the passenger experience, without major investment.
Re-hab (Age 20-25 Years)
At this stage, reliability issues and downtime become more common. We focus on the main operating systems to restore performance.
- New controller, drive, and door equipment
- Updated fixtures and operating panels
- Optional safety system upgrades
Result: A unit that feels and performs like new, with fewer breakdowns, lower energy costs, and improved compliance.
Re-start (Age 25+ Years)
When your lift or escalator has reached the end of its service life, we provide a complete renewal.
- New hoisting machines with energy-saving technology
- Regenerative drives and advanced controllers
- Full replacement of safety systems, fixtures, and interiors
Result: Equivalent to installing a new unit within your existing shaft or truss, delivering smoother rides, modern aesthetics, and energy savings of up to 65%.
