Modernization of Low Rise Multi Family Residential

  • Complete Modernization of two, low speed, hydraulic passenger elevators serving 3 floors in an occupied multi-family residential using completely Non-Proprietary Equipment.
  • The Problem: The client was renovating a building that had older elevator equipment with obsolete components and systems that were not code compliant.
  • The Solution: A complete modernization of the elevators’ hydraulic power units, controls, door operation and fixtures was selected to bring the elevator up to code as well as improve the safety, reliability and longevity of the elevators.
  • Replacement of the entire power unit including the reservoir tank, hydraulic pump, motor and safety valve.
  • Installation of new, non-proprietary, microprocessor controls with solid state starters and landing systems and to improve energy efficiency through improved dispatching and ride profiles. New traveling cables were installed as well.
  • New door operation and door equipment at each landing to improve reliability and improve floor to floor times.
  • All new low voltage, energy efficient hall and car call fixtures and indicators as well as the wiring to them.
