Modernizations
Elevator Modernizations for Safety, Performance, and Code Compliance
Bringing your equipment up to modern standards can be a costly endeavor. We, at Proactive, use non-proprietary equipment to help reduce costs and increase versatility, allowing future service and repairs to be done by any licensed professional. This also allows you to get the parts you need when you need them.‌
Modernization Planning That Starts With a Site Assessment
We evaluate your existing equipment, performance issues, and compliance needs to recommend a modernization scope that fits your building, budget, and timeline.
You will receive a clear plan outlining recommended components, expected benefits, and a coordinated schedule for procurement, installation, and testing.
What we upgrade
Targeted Upgrades That Deliver Measurable Improvements
NOn-Proprietary parts first
Why we prefer non-proprietary parts and equiptment
Choosing non-proprietary elevator equipment offers a massive advantage in long-term freedom and cost control. Because the components are open-market and standard, you aren’t locked into a single manufacturer for maintenance, parts, or software updates. This fosters healthy competition, allowing you to hire any qualified independent elevator contractor and saving you from the inflated costs and captive service contracts typical of proprietary systems. Furthermore, because replacement parts are widely available from multiple suppliers, lead times for repairs are significantly shorter, minimizing downtime and keeping your building running smoothly.
