MODERNIZATION

Legal background of replacement of elevators

[The Act on Safety Management of Elevators] No. 14839 (Jul. 26, 2017)

Article 13-2 (Precise Safety Inspection of Elevators)

• (Above clauses omitted) When pertaining to Number 3, there shall be regular precision and safety inspection every three years from the date of the precision and safety inspection.
• 15 years or longer have passed since the last completion inspection.

Details of items that must be replaced

• Device preventing door separation (prevention of door separation, emergency guide)
• The distance between the car/platform door and the jamb shall not exceed 5mm (preventing hands from being stuck)
• Gearless traction machine/rope brake (prevention of over-speeding, starting before door being closed, dual brake)
• Automatic placement machine (automatic rescue operation)

As the life expectancy of elevators and escalators increases, aging will take place and replacement will be necessary in about 15 years. Then, system capacity or convenience shall be increased or energy cost shall be decreased. The equipment shall be upgraded according to new standards.

Overview of Elevator Modernization

1. Provision of Tailored Solutions

We sufficiently reflect a customer’s request and provide solutions for partial or whole modernization. We guarantee the excellence of quality, flexibility, accuracy and effectiveness of the solutions. Hanjin Elevator provides the optimum solutions via tailored approach for each development site. The special Hanjin maintenance and repair (modernization) team selects new parts for the existing system and use recyclable components as much as possible. Also, we reduce repair cost, decrease defects, improve energy saving and increase comfort, efficiency, safety and aesthetics.

Hanjin maintenance and repair (modernization) team starts from experts’ analysis and inspects a customer’s elevators. This enables them to recognize a customer’s requests and offer detailed information and data on the options. If only simple upgrades are necessary, Hanjin Elevator’s RENEW package offers a fast and easy way to keep the equipment as new as possible. Partial modernization starts from inspection to check each component and this enables you to flexibly approach the building interface upon system replacement. This does not produce dust and structure engineer services won’t be necessary. Also, the construction does not generate noise. Also, sometimes, you need to replace the entire system. The company’s special engineers provide a solution to solve a specific condition.

2. Safety

It is most important for a building owner to minimize danger of passengers and users. We secure strengthened safety (KC) certification requested by the government and ensure optimum safety.

3. Reliability

We materialize technological development and governmentally required certificates to improve safety standards. The newly developed equipment and components can be perfectly compatible with existing equipment.

4. Energy efficiency

This can reduce energy use of an entire building and contribute to cost reduction.

5. Aesthetics

Elevators, in contemporary buildings, are not only the means connecting floors. The various combinations of diverse products, as part of construction, increases the building status and value as an asset.

6. Comfort

Enabling the passengers to move safely and comfortably is an important way to increase the value of the building. This maximizes comfort of users by applying various solutions of the company.

7. Security

Safe management is one of the important duties of a building owner.

Full Modernization

As for full modernization of old elevators, regardless of presence of a machine room, diversely developed parts and components are provided. What is difficult in modernization is that hoist way size is different by building. Although door space and ceiling opening are different, in order to maintain a building’s support structure, the opening and the support are maintained. If possible, we use the existing guide rails.
