What our maintenance service includes

• Regular inspections and lubrication of mechanical components (gears, pulleys, guides, rollers)

• Safety device testing (emergency brakes, door interlocks, overspeed governors)

• Electrical system checks (control panels, relays, wiring, backup power)

• Door operation servicing and adjustment for smooth, safe entry/exit

• Hydraulic system maintenance and fluid monitoring (where applicable)

• Modernization assessments and minor upgrades to extend equipment life

• Code-compliant testing and documentation to meet local and state regulations

• Emergency response and 24/7 troubleshooting for ride-stopping faults

Customized maintenance plans

• Basic Preventive: Scheduled visits and critical safety checks to meet minimum code requirements.

• Enhanced Reliability: More frequent inspections, component life tracking, and prioritized repair scheduling to reduce downtime.

• Full-Service Agreement: All-inclusive coverage for parts, labor, and routine replacements with predictable budgeting.

Why regular maintenance matters

• Safety: Regular testing catches hazards before they cause injury or shutdowns.

• Cost control: Preventive care and early repairs are far less expensive than major overhauls or emergency replacements.

• Performance: Properly tuned equipment reduces ride complaints and improves passenger comfort.

• Lifespan: Routine maintenance and timely upgrades extend the useful life of elevators and delay costly modernizations.

• Compliance: Keeps your equipment within code and inspection requirements, reducing liability.

Modernization and upgrades If your elevator shows frequent breakdowns, slow performance, or fails to meet current code or accessibility standards, our technicians will recommend targeted upgrades — such as controller retrofit, door operator improvements, energy-efficient drives, and improved safety components — to restore reliability and performance with minimal disruption.

How we work

• Detailed initial assessment to create a maintenance plan aligned with your building’s usage and budget.

• Transparent reporting and documentation after each visit, including recommended actions and parts status.

• Skilled, certified technicians trained on both legacy and modern elevator systems.

• Rapid-response team available 24/7 for emergency callouts.

Advanced Elevator Services brings Atlanta-based expertise in full-service elevator modernization—from code-driven safety upgrades to tech-forward controls and cab redesigns—helping building owners modernize safely, efficiently, and with an eye toward long-term value.

Why Modernize?

• Safety: Replace aging controllers, doors, and emergency systems to meet current code and reduce risk.

• Reliability: New components and diagnostics dramatically cut downtime and maintenance costs.

• Performance: Improved ride quality, faster travel, reduced wait times, and energy-efficient drives.

• Accessibility & Compliance: Upgrade cabs, door operators, and controls to comply with ADA, local codes, and accessibility best practices.

• Value & Aesthetics: Modern cab interiors and lighting enhance tenant satisfaction and property value.

Common Modernization Options

• Control System Replacement: Install microprocessor-based controllers, destination-dispatch, or cloud-enabled controls for improved traffic handling and diagnostics.

• Motor & Drive Upgrades: Replace outdated motors and mechanical governors with gearless or regenerative variable-frequency drives for smoother, quieter, and more energy-efficient operation.

• Door Systems: Modernize hoistway and cab doors, operators, safety edges, and sensors to reduce entrapments and improve cycle reliability.

• Safety & Code Upgrades: Retrofit emergency lowering, overspeed governors, buffers, and fire recall systems to meet current life-safety standards.

• Cab Modernization: New finishes, lighting, flooring, handrails, and fixtures—plus improved ventilation and antimicrobial surfaces for healthier environments.

• Accessibility Enhancements: Lowered controls, tactile and Braille signage, audible announcements, and visual indicators.

• Machine Room–Less (MRL) Conversions: Convert old traction systems to compact MRL designs to save space and reduce energy use when feasible.

• Monitoring & IoT: Add remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and analytics to detect faults early and optimize service schedules.

Assessment & Planning

• Site Survey: Detailed inspection of hoistway, pit, machine room, cab, and electrical systems to identify scope and constraints.

• Condition Report: Prioritized list of required safety upgrades, recommended performance improvements, and estimated lifecycle costs.

• Budgeting & Phasing: Options for full modernization vs phased upgrades to manage capital expense while minimizing downtime.

• Timeline & Permitting: Realistic schedule including permit acquisition, inspection coordination, and stakeholder communications.

Benefits for Building Owners & Managers

• Reduced Maintenance Costs: Modern components require less service and can extend useful life by 20+ years.

• Increased Tenant Satisfaction: Faster, quieter elevators and refreshed aesthetics support leasing and retention.

• Energy Savings: Regenerative drives, LED lighting, and standby modes lower operating expenses.

• Risk Mitigation: Addressing obsolescence and code deficiencies reduces liability and regulatory risk.

• Asset Value: Modernized elevators add to overall property appeal and resale value.

Typical Project Timeline

• Pre-Construction (2–6 weeks): Survey, scope, permitting, procurement.

• Construction (1–6 weeks per cab depending on scope): Control swaps, door work, cab replacement, machine upgrades. Phasing keeps at least one elevator operational in multi-car banks when possible.

• Commissioning & Inspections (1–2 weeks): Testing, final adjustments, local authority inspection and certification.

Next Steps

• Schedule a professional site assessment to receive a tailored modernization plan and cost estimate.

• Prioritize safety-critical upgrades immediately; plan aesthetic or performance enhancements in the next fiscal cycle.

• Consider financing options or phased modernization to align with your capital budget.
