Elevator modernization involves upgrading selected control, electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, door, communication, or cab components while retaining usable portions of the existing elevator system. ASME A17.1 covers elevator alterations, repairs, maintenance, testing, and inspections, while accessibility standards may also apply when alterations affect how people access or use a facility. At CED Elevator & Electrical, we supply the products elevator contractors need to plan and complete modernization work, including controllers, hoistway and traveling cable, wire rope, duct, hydraulic fittings, door operators, hall fixtures, cab fixtures, and installation equipment.
Our role is to make product sourcing easier. Instead of ordering individual components from several vendors, contractors can work with our team to assemble an elevator modernization package based on the equipment type, building conditions, project specifications, and installation requirements.
Complete Elevator Modernization Packages
Every modernization project has different equipment, performance goals, and code requirements. A hydraulic passenger elevator may need a different controller, piping configuration, and power equipment than a geared or gearless traction system.
We help contractors source compatible products for both focused upgrades and broader modernization packages. Our available modernization materials include:
