Key Project Achievements

Lift Modernisation

The modernisation project involved a comprehensive revamp of the existing lift system. NewLift controllers, a product of the German company NewLift, were installed in the existing motor room. These controllers are renowned for their plug-and-play functionality and diagnostic capabilities via LEDs, making them a preferred choice for lift manufacturers and global corporations.

Alongside the controllers, Ziehl machines were also installed. These machines, coupled with the NewLift controllers, form the core of the lift system, controlling its operation and ensuring smooth and efficient performance.

Shaft Equipment Replacement

The project also entailed the replacement of all new shaft equipment. This included car and counterweight shoes, door operators, safety gears, and overspeed governors. The replacement of these components is crucial for the safety and efficiency of the lift system. The entire system was also fully rewired to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Interior Installation

A new interior was installed in the lifts, enhancing the user experience. This included the installation of 15-inch TFT screens that display live Discovery Channel advertisements, providing an engaging and dynamic environment for passengers.
