ReStore, ReNew, RePlace, repeat. Our tailored modernisation solutions.
Elevators travel a lot. In fact, a medium-usage unit in a standard residential tower makes around 500 trips every day – equating to a few thousand kilometers per year.
Dozens of components ensure this constant motion, and regular maintenance can keep it going for decades. But standard service only ensures one-to-one replacement of elevator parts – so, as new technologies and standards are introduced, eventually even the best-kept system becomes outdated. And, as with any piece of technical equipment, elevators have their own life cycles that inevitably come to an end.
To address this, we’ve developed a family of modernisation solutions:
- Schindler ReStore – for elevators in use for 15 years
- Schindler ReNew – for elevators with 25 years of service
- Schindler RePlace – for elevators in action for 30 years
Each solution prioritises the components that need replacement at a specific stage of an elevator’s life, without creating excess waste, unnecessary costs, or avoidable disruption for your building and tenants.
Schindler ReStore: for peak performance
Fifteen years of an elevator’s life might not seem like a lot, but in reality, the distance it’s travelled in that time is equivalent to it going up the Mount Cook an incredible 26,600 times! After so much daily power hiking, your system surely deserves a refreshment, to get it ready and raring to go for its next adventure.
That’s where Schindler ReStore comes into play. This targeted modernisation package focuses on critical components that benefit immensely from an upgrade:
- Controller – upgrading the brain of your elevator will unlock connectivity features, enabling real-time monitoring.
- Inverter – which ensures smooth and precise operation, can be upgraded to a newer model to enhance your system’s overall energy efficiency.
- Fixtures – modern car and landing panels are your elevator’s interface, improving aesthetics and comply with safety standards.
In addition, your elevator’s electrical works will also get a complete overhaul as part of any Schindler’s modernisation solution.
Schindler ReNew: don’t desert your elevator
If an elevator has been in use for, let’s say, 25 years, it could have covered an even more impressive distance, traveling to Antarctica and back 33 times. Its journeys might be smoother than a ship ride, but a lot changes in a quarter of a century, so it might be time to consider Schindler ReNew.
In addition to all the Schindler ReStore benefits, Schindler ReNew also targets mechanical aspects, replacing crucial components – with a new machine for a smooth, safe, and quiet ride, and upgraded hoisting technology.
Schindler RePlace: a stellar outlook
At 30 years, your elevator could have traveled halfway to the moon. But while your system may be approaching the end of its life cycle, there’s no reason to pick your building apart and make your costs skyrocket. Schindler RePlace offers a complete elevator overhaul, providing the benefits of a new elevator within an existing shaft.
Adding to the ReNew and ReStore modernisation packages, Schindler RePlace also includes the complete refurbishment of your machine room, and car and doors precision-tailored to fit existing hoistways.
Our modernization solutions are customisable to fit any building type, scale, and budget, and they are compatible with any elevator brand. Let’s work together to ensure your systems remain reliable, safe, and future-proof.
