The elevator shaft or the escalator truss can last for the lifetime of the building. The mechanical components can wear out or become outdated after a few decades. Safety regulations, as well as electrical and monitoring systems, have changed considerably in the last 10 or 20 years. And aestetics can change as quickly as trends in interior design.
Given these various lifecycles, it makes sense to take a flexible approach to elevator or escalator modernization. KONE gives you a range of options, so you can replace the entire installation or individual components as needed, with a modular solution. This enables you to replace the electrical system or enhance the aesthics, for example, while leaving the mechanical components intact.
