How many steps have you taken today?
An average elevator makes up to 500 daily trips, which amounts to a few thousand kilometers per year - even in a modest apartment building. In 30 years, such an elevator would cover the distance needed to travel halfway to the moon.
Good maintenance will keep your elevator going for decades - but a 1:1 component replacement only allows your elevator to go so far and, eventually, the system becomes obsolete. That's why we've developed a family of modernisation solutions that target the critical components and allow you to tailor your elevator upgrade to the needs and age of your equipment. Schindler ReStore is recommended after 15 years, Schindler ReNew after 25 years, and Schindler RePlace after 30 years of service.
