Elevator Inspection Group provides complete traction elevator modernization services designed to improve safety, performance, efficiency, and long-term reliability. We upgrade outdated controllers, machines, door equipment, and electrical systems to bring your elevator up to modern code standards and deliver smoother, faster, and more dependable operation.
What Is Elevator Modernization?
Elevator modernization replaces old or obsolete components with modern technology. Over time, traction machines wear out, relay logic becomes outdated, door equipment weakens, and replacement parts become harder to find. Modernization improves system performance, reduces breakdowns, and ensures your elevator meets current safety and code requirements.
