Modernization Solutions

Elevate Your Building’s Performance in South Texas and the Bay Area

Elevator technology has undergone significant evolution, delivering enhanced safety, efficiency, and performance. If your elevators are slow, unreliable, or no longer meet current code requirements, modernization may be the right solution.

At AmeriTex Elevator Services, we provide customized elevator modernization solutions that extend equipment life, improve reliability, and reduce long-term operating costs. Whether you need a full system upgrade or targeted improvements, our experienced technicians ensure your elevators remain safe, compliant, and operating at peak performance.

Why Modernize with AmeriTex?

Modernization is an investment in the future of your property. By upgrading your system, you improve reliability, lower energy costs, and ensure compliance with the latest safety codes.

Enhanced Safety & Compliance

We ensure your elevators meet all ADA, state, and local safety codes in Texas and California.

Improved Performance & Reliability

Say goodbye to frequent breakdowns and erratic performance.

Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings

Modern controls and drives can significantly reduce power consumption.

Aesthetic & Functional Appeal

Upgrade the look of your cabs to match your building's style.

Full Modernization vs. Targeted Upgrades

We understand that every building has different needs and budgets. That’s why we offer flexible solutions ranging from targeted component upgrades to complete system overhauls.

Full Modernization

A Complete Elevator Overhaul

If your elevator is over 20 years old, a full modernization ensures it operates like a brand-new system.  We replace outdated components with state-of-the-art technology to improve safety, energy efficiency, and passenger experience.

A full modernization can include the entire following package, essentially providing you with a new elevator:

  • New Controllers & Drive Systems – Advanced microprocessor controls for smooth, fast operation
  • Regenerative Drive Technology – Reduce energy use by up to 75%.
  • New Hoist Machines & Motors – Quiet, durable, and energy-efficient motor systems
  • New Elevator Door Equipment – Reduce door malfunctions and improve accessibility
  • New Elevator Fixtures – Upgraded hall and car fixtures with LED pushbuttons providing a modern design and increased reliability
  • New Roller Guides – Improving ride quality through upgrading original fixed slide/roller guides with spring-loaded roller guides
  • Wiring & Travel Cable – All new connectivity between elevator components minimizes downtime due to electrical failure
  • Enhanced Safety Features – Emergency braking, updated fire recall systems, and real-time diagnostics
  • Modern Cab Interiors – Updated cab interior wall panels, handrails, and ceilings for a sleek, contemporary look

Targeted Upgrades

Improve Performance Without a Full Overhaul

If your system is structurally sound but suffers from speed, safety, or efficiency issues, targeted upgrades allow you to upgrade specific components instead of replacing the entire system.

Targeted upgrades can include any of the individual items that follow or several of the items can be performed together, short of complete replacement of the existing elevator controller, which would then trigger complete modernization of the system:

  • Controller CPU Board & Drive System Upgrade – Faster, smoother, and more reliable operation.
  • Door Operator & Infrared Door Detector Upgrade – Provides smoother and more reliable door operation, as elevator door equipment is the root cause of the majority of elevator service and repair requests, as the moving door components are what the riding public comes in contact with the most.
  • Solid State Motor Starter Upgrade – Solid-state starters deliver faster floor-to-floor times, optimized motor start-up, and reduced downtime since there are no mechanical contacts to wear out. They also protect the system from power irregularities by detecting low voltage, phase reversal, overload conditions, and loss of an incoming phase. Additional advantages include lower power consumption—which reduces electricity costs—and less strain on motor windings.
  • Hydraulic Pump Unit Upgrade – Consists of a new, upgraded Hydraulic Valve, Motor, Pump, Victaulic Fittings, Muffler, and Oil Reservoir to provide increased operation and reliability.
  • New Roller Guides – Improving ride quality through upgrading original fixed slide/roller guides with spring-loaded roller guides.
  • Code Compliance Upgrade – Includes Car Top Handrails, ADA Compliant Phones, AZFS Key Switches, Door Restrictors, Pit Ladders, Cylinder Replacements and more.
  • Modern Cab Interior – Updated cab interior wall panels, handrails and ceilings for a sleek, contemporary look.
