Modernising old elevatorsfrom Al Raqi Elevator

Your elevator still runs but is no longer what it was: slow, shaky, or stopping off-level? Modernisation treats the cause, not just the symptom, and extends the life of the elevator without replacing it entirely.

What is included

What does Modernising old elevators include?

Modernising an old elevator covers the assemblies that its age and condition call for, and we agree with you on what is replaced.

Machine and drive
An old machine produces vibration and draws more power than it should.
Control panel and controller
Old panels rely on components no longer made and whose spares are scarce.
Hoist ropes and sheaves
Ropes stretch and wear over the years and are checked and replaced during modernisation.
Cabin lighting and ventilation
Old lighting is replaced with a current type that uses less energy.
Landing doors and locks
Guides and locks weaken in old elevators and are reviewed as part of modernisation.
Cabin levelling
Stopping level is set at every floor because it affects how safely passengers step in.

The problem and the answer

From the problem to the answer

An old elevator hides accumulated wear

An old elevator rarely breaks down suddenly. Wear builds slowly inside it: parts no longer made, components that hold on by leaning on each other. When it does stop, finding replacements is difficult and the time out of service grows long.

Modernisation starting with diagnosis

We start by understanding the full condition of the elevator, then agree with you on what must change now and what can wait. The step no one sees is matching the new parts to each other before installation begins. Call or message us on WhatsApp, tell us the elevator's age and what you notice, and we agree the details.

How we work

How this service goes

Get in touch and tell us
Call or message us on WhatsApp and tell us the elevator's age, the number of floors and what symptoms you notice, so we understand where to start.
We identify what needs updating
We go through the condition of each main assembly with you and agree on what is replaced, what is adjusted and what stays, based on each part's age and state.
We supply and install in sequence
Modernisation follows an order: we start with what the other parts depend on, and we confirm that the new components match each other before we reach the point of running the elevator.
You check the result
Ride the elevator on every floor and watch whether it stops level with the floor, whether movement is smooth, and whether the doors open and close without hesitation.

FAQ

Questions our customers ask

How do I know my elevator needs modernising and not just a repair?

When faults return in different parts within a short time, that points to general wear rather than a single fault. An elevator that has been running for many years has often seen several components reach the end of their life at around the same time, and repairing one part eases the symptom without addressing the others.

What should I prepare in the building before modernisation begins?

Inform residents or users that the elevator will be out of service for a period, and make sure the elevator shaft and machine room are accessible because most modernisation work passes through both. It also helps to gather whatever you know about the elevator's history and when it was last maintained.

Do I modernise everything at once or can the work be split?

Modernisation can be split into stages, but some parts are linked and should not be separated, such as the panel and the machine when one of them has already changed. We agree with you on what comes first and what can wait, based on each part's condition and its effect on the rest of the system.

What should I check in the elevator after modernisation is complete?

Ride the elevator from the ground floor to the top and back, and notice whether it stops level at every floor without a gap. Check the doors at every floor, watch whether movement is free of vibration, and confirm that the lighting and ventilation are working normally.

Why is elevator modernisation different from refurbishing the cabin alone?

Cabin refurbishment changes what the passenger sees: the finishes, lighting and decor, and it is a service in its own right. Modernisation reaches the parts that move the elevator, control its travel and bring it to a stop, parts hidden from view but the cause of recurring faults.
