Modernization

Elevator technology has advanced rapidly in recent years—delivering greater safety, improved energy efficiency, and a better passenger experience. If your elevators are slow, unreliable, or no longer compliant with current safety codes, it may be time to modernize.

At Motion Elevator, an Axxiom Elevator Company, we provide comprehensive modernization services that extend the life of your equipment, lower energy costs, and improve reliability. Whether you need a complete overhaul or targeted system upgrades, our certified experts will optimize your building’s vertical transportation for years to come.

Reduce risks and meet ADA, state, and federal safety codes

Improved Performance & Reliability

Faster, smoother rides with fewer breakdowns

Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings

Lower operational costs with eco-friendly technology

Aesthetic, Functional Upgrades

Modern interiors and controls to match your building’s style

Full Modernization vs. Targeted Upgrades

Depending on your elevator’s age, performance, and budget, Motion Elevator offers flexible solutions—ranging from complete modernization to selective component upgrades.

Full Modernization

A Complete Elevator Overhaul

If your elevator is over 20 years old, a full modernization ensures it operates like a brand-new system.  We replace outdated components with state-of-the-art technology to improve safety, energy efficiency, and passenger experience.

Full modernization can include the entire following package, essentially providing you with a new elevator:

  • New Controllers & Drive Systems – Advanced microprocessor controls for smooth, fast operation
  • Regenerative Drive Technology – Reduce energy use by up to 75%.
  • New Hoist Machines & Motors – Quiet, durable, and energy-efficient motor systems
  • New Elevator Door Equipment – Reduce door malfunctions and improve accessibility
  • New Elevator Fixtures – Upgraded hall and car fixtures with LED pushbuttons providing a modern design and increased reliability
  • New Roller Guides – Improving ride quality through upgrading original fixed slide/roller guides with spring-loaded roller guides
  • Wiring & Travel Cable – All new connectivity between elevator components minimizes downtime due to electrical failure
  • Enhanced Safety Features – Emergency braking, updated fire recall systems, and real-time diagnostics
  • Modern Cab Interiors – Updated cab interior wall panels, handrails, and ceilings for a sleek, contemporary look

Targeted Upgrades

Performance Improvements Without a Full Overhaul

If your elevator is in relatively good condition but needs improvements in speed, safety, or efficiency, targeted upgrades allow you to upgrade specific components instead of replacing the entire system.

Targeted upgrades can include any of the individual items that follow or several of the items can be performed together, short of complete replacement of the existing elevator controller, which would then trigger complete modernization of the system:

  • Controller CPU Board & Drive System Upgrade – Faster, smoother, and more reliable operation.
  • Door Operator & Infrared Door Detector Upgrade – Provides smoother and more reliable door operation, as elevator door equipment is the root cause of the majority of elevator service and repair requests, as the moving door components are what the riding public comes in contact with the most.
  • Solid State Motor Starter Upgrade – Solid-state starters deliver faster floor-to-floor times, optimized motor start-up, and reduced downtime since there are no mechanical contacts to wear out. They also protect the system from power irregularities by detecting low voltage, phase reversal, overload conditions, and loss of an incoming phase. Additional advantages include lower power consumption—which reduces electricity costs—and less strain on motor windings.
  • Hydraulic Pump Unit Upgrade – Consists of a new, upgraded Hydraulic Valve, Motor, Pump, Victaulic Fittings, Muffler, and Oil Reservoir to provide increased operation and reliability.
  • New Roller Guides – Improving ride quality through upgrading original fixed slide/roller guides with spring-loaded roller guides.
  • Code Compliance Upgrade – Includes Car Top Handrails, ADA Compliant Phones, AZFS Key Switches, Door Restrictors, Pit Ladders, Cylinder Replacements and more.
  • Modern Cab Interior – Updated cab interior wall panels, handrails and ceilings for a sleek, contemporary look.
