Elevator Modernization

Elevator Modernization For Safety & Value

Outdated elevators don’t just look worn—they pose safety risks, increase energy costs, and often fail to meet current code requirements. At State 48 Elevator, we specialize in comprehensive elevator modernization for commercial and residential buildings across Arizona. Our team evaluates your system and develops a strategic upgrade plan that restores reliability, enhances performance, and improves rider comfort.

Modernization is more than cosmetic. We replace aging components like control systems, door operators, position indicators, and motor drives to increase uptime and reduce energy use. Whether your elevator suffers from frequent shutdowns, outdated technology, or poor ride quality, we bring it up to modern safety and performance standards—all while minimizing disruption to building operations.

Control System Replacement

Upgrade to microprocessor-based controllers for improved performance.

Door & Operator Equipment

Enhance door timing, safety sensors, and reliability for your elevators

Cab Interior & Lighting

Refresh outdated interiors with durable, modern finishes.

Ride Enhancements

Smooth motion & level landings for improved experience.

If your elevator is over 20 years old, it’s likely time to modernize. We’ll assess current conditions and deliver a phased or full-scope modernization plan tailored to your timeline and budget.

Our Elevator Modernization Process

We take a structured, transparent approach to elevator modernization that’s grounded in experience and driven by results. Every project begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your current system, identifying outdated components, code violations, and performance gaps. We then craft a customized modernization plan that outlines exactly what needs to be upgraded, why it matters, and how it will benefit your building. From the first diagnostic to the final safety verification, our team adheres to strict Arizona code requirements and industry standards to ensure the finished system is not only compliant, but optimized for long-term value, safety, and operational efficiency.

Our modernization services are available for both hydraulic and traction elevators, and we work across all major brands and system types commonly found in Arizona buildings. Whether your building is equipped with older relay-based controllers, outdated door systems, or inefficient motor drives, we upgrade your components with modern technology that improves ride quality, reduces energy consumption, and minimizes future service calls. We understand how critical elevator performance is to tenant satisfaction, and we approach every modernization project with the goal of delivering smoother operation, safer travel, and a better overall experience for everyone who uses your elevators.
