You can have an elevator that looks and works almost like new, with less downtime, lower cost, and less disruption to passengers and the building.

The elevator hoisting unit includes the most hardworking components of your elevator. Replacing worn, outdated hoisting machinery is vital for safety and ride comfort. KONE hoisting units are designed to minimize installation time when modernizing elevators in residential and small office buildings.
The bedplate is designed so that most hoisting units can be replaced without onsite engineering and welding. As an option KONE offers traction sheave shaft brakes, which increase safety by protect against unintended movement and ascending car overspeed.
One of the best ways to improve the performance of an old elevator is to modernize its electrification system. KONE modernization solutions for elevator electrification increase performance, reliability and eco-efficiency. They also improve safety and accessibility by ensuring that the elevator comes to an accurate stop, level with the landing floor. These solutions are fast to install, ensuring minimal disturbance to building residents during modernization.
KONE elevator car modernization solutions integrate smoothly with existing installations. The KONE elevator car is built with lightweight and robust materials so that you can add an automatic door when replacing the elevator car, without additional weight.
A wide range of materials, interior designs and lighting solutions is available, so you can match the architecture of an older building with wooden paneling in the elevator, or match a modern building with a stainless steel interior and eco-efficient LED lights.
KONE elevator signalization provides a stylish interface, while improving accessibility and convenience. When signalization is modernized, it comes equipped with round-the-clock, two-way voice communication with the KONE Customer Care Center™.
The unique KONE elevator signalization solutions provide many attractive choices for designs, colors and patterns. They can be an attractive feature in any architectural context.

They open wide to improve accessibility, making it easier to transport furniture or a child in a pram. There is a broad range of KONE elevator doors, from slim to heavy duty, for replacing existing doors or installing a door in an elevator without one.
