Elevator Modernization
The pros and cons of new technology in multi-level condos.
By Ray Eleid, PEng, MBA
Typically, elevator companies are not early technology adapters. They have traditionally
chosen robust and proven technologies in lieu of fads and cutting-edge systems because
elevators are required to operate for a long time and technological mistakes are costly –
both in terms of maintenance and of customer relations. This is a good approach for both
contractors and condominium corporations. While technology is changing at a rapid pace,
its benefits must always outweigh its façade and hype.
There are three main operational areas where the benefits of new technologies should be
considered: repair, modernization and maintenance.
Repairs or Minor Upgrades
Elevator contractors often suggest repairs or minor upgrades to reduce liabilities or
improve the performance or reliability of your elevator equipment. When initiating these
upgrades, consider newer technologies that will add benefit to your equipment and
passengers.
Old Technology
Mechanical safety edges. Elevator technicians are often surprised to see mechanical
safety edges in buildings today because of the potential liability these edges cause. The
mechanical safety edge must make contact with an object before retracting the door and,
depending on the object (person or obstacles), the damage to the door equipment can be
significant, decreasing its reliability and increasing maintenance costs
