ELA Modernization Toolbox

The journey of modernization has already started, but the path forward presents numerous complexities and obstacles.  Many challenges have to be solved, many questions have to be answered, for example:    

  • What is the value in modernizing existing lifts?
  • How does the industry increase awareness on modernization needs among the decision makers? 
  • How do the stakeholders obtain synergy achievements in modernization?
  • Which supporting tools can help the stakeholders?  

Clearly there is a strong need for guidance on modernization theme.  To address these challenges, in the last years ELA has developed a Modernization Toolbox, composed of statistical data, surveys, white papers, technical catalogue, etc. available for its members.  

There are several tools stakeholders can use, to understand where the industry is, to argue about why to modernize, to guide operators on how to modernize and close the gap.

The target users of this ELA Modernization Toolbox are the key stakeholders of lift industry: policy maker, building owner, lift and component OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and lift service company and many others. Find more about it in the following presentation.

  • PERFORMANCE faster and bigger lifts
  • AESTHETICS improved visual appearance
