Lifts like any type machinery ages and at some point a decision will need to be made with regards to replacement. The thought of removing a lift that has served you well over 20+ years and spending tens of thousands of pounds on a new lift, not to mention the down time may not be the most attractive option.
However, there is another option. Have you considered lift refurbishment, older lifts were generally over-engineered and the strength of the lift structure would generally still be good, along with the guide rails, therefore a refurbishment could be a better, cheaper and quicker option to bring your lift up to current standards.
There are plenty of independent lift companies that provide this service the like of JDR Lift Services Ltd have provided lift refurbishments for many commercial and private clients. A fully refurbished lift can in some cases provide as much service as a new lift, especially considering new lifts are generally package lift of poor quality.
Lift refurbishments can also provide a considerable saving, a typical lift refubishment could be 40% cheaper than a new lift, and with installation times of around 4 weeks compared to 8-12 for a new lift, the down time is dramatically reduced. This could be important if your lift is in a nursing home, busy office or hospital.
Lift refurbishments vary drastically and there are many options available to the lift owner. We would recommend discussing your requirements with a lift company before placing that order for a new lift.
