Lift modernization

Modernizing your lift can enhance its performance and give it a fresh look, with the added financial benefit of extending its lifespan. Additionally, choosing modernization over replacement benefits the planet. While manufacturing a lift does leave a carbon footprint, extending its lifespan reduces its overall environmental impact.

Why should I
modernize my lift?

Over time, materials wear out, lift standards evolve, and design trends shift. Lift modernization extends the product’s lifespan by keeping it up-to-date with the latest standards and refreshing its appearance. Modernizing your lift also allows for new feature upgrades or a complete design update.

Shaft panels

With time, the shaft panels of your lift may start to look worn, but they are easy to replace. Updating your elevator with new shaft panels is a smart and efficient way to modernise your lift that extends its lifespan.

Kick plates in stainless steel

Placed at the bottom of the door, on the inside of the door blade, the kick plates protect the doors from wear and tear. Our kick plates in stainless steel not only prevent damage to the lift doors but make them last longer.

Platform modernisation

Some of the platform elements may start to look worn after a many years of use. However, even small and easy updates will give your platform a new lease of life, like for example:

  • Platform handrail
  • Top safety bar
  • Control panel labels
  • Platform cladding

Cabin interior

Over time, the interior of your lift car may start to look a little tired. But if you change just a few elements, it will give your Cibes cabin lift a new and fresh look. Here are some examples of elements that are easy to update and modernise:

  • Wall panels and mirrors
  • Handrail
  • Push buttons

What upgrades are available
for my lift?

Different options for lift modernisation are available depending on the manufacturing year of your lift. So how do you know when your lift was manufactured? For lifts manufactured before or after 2017, there is an easy trick – just check the call button (see below)! If our little trick does not work for your lift, just send us the serial number displayed on the lift control panel, and we will advise you.

Lifts manufactured before 2017

Lifts manufactured in 2006-2017 have a different control system than the platform and cabin lifts that we make today. The easiest way to identify a lift from this manufacturing period, is to check if the call buttons on the doors have the above characteristic design.

Lifts manufactured in 2017 or later

In 2017, we gradually switched over to the CiCon control system, resulting in a new range of CiCon compatible upgrade kits. You easily identify a CiCon lift by its call buttons: If it has call buttons with touchscreen, or the button design shown above, it is a CiCon lift.
