When does a lift need a control upgrade?
- 1
Lift stops above or below floor level
When the lift consistently stops with a visible gap from the floor, the cause usually lies in the controller or drive, and replacing them with a precise digital system corrects it.
- 2
A controller whose parts cannot be found
Old controllers go out of production, turning every fault into a search for a rare part. The lasting solution is a full replacement rather than continuing to chase obsolete components.
- 3
A lift that jolts or stops harshly
A jolt on start-up or stopping is uncomfortable for passengers and stresses the mechanics. In most cases it disappears entirely once an inverter drive and modern controller are fitted.
Choose what fits your need
Your lift stops off floor level
We survey your controller and drive, then specify the digital system that fits your lift and corrects the levelling for good.
WhatsAppAgeing controller with no parts available
We replace the obsolete controller and drive entirely with a current-production system so no future fault leaves you without a solution.

Masha Allah, professional work of the highest standard in quality, safety, design and finish, with a fast response and fast delivery. Five elevators were installed without a single snag, and the maintenance team keeps track for you: they are the ones who remind you when it is due. I recommend contracting with them. You deserve five stars.

What sets this area apart
Al Oud is an older central residential district with mid-rise buildings mostly built decades ago, their lifts' control systems running on outdated technology that gives no clear fault indicators. Diagnosing problems takes long because the old system masks fault sources. Replacing it with a modern digital system makes diagnosis instant and repairs quick, cutting downtime.
Al Oud in central Riyadh is an older residential district of closely built mid-rise blocks around a main commercial street.
Most Al Oud lifts are old and lack a digital display showing fault status, making quick maintenance difficult.

Questions about Control system upgrades
Can the controller be upgraded without replacing the whole machine?
In many cases yes: the machine and ropes may still be in good condition while only the controller and drive need replacing. The technical survey determines what must change and what can stay, and we will not recommend more than your lift actually needs.
Will the new system be compatible with my existing lift?
Compatibility is confirmed precisely during the survey visit before any decision is made. We measure the machine room, review the existing motor type, the number of floors and the wiring, then select the right system. We do not fit anything before full compatibility is confirmed.
What is an inverter drive and what does it do?
An inverter drive controls the motor speed precisely on start and stop instead of switching full power on at once, which eliminates jolts, makes travel smooth and reduces mechanical stress on the lift's components.
What warranty comes with the new control system?
The warranty we offer extends to up to 15 years, with the exact terms depending on the system installed. Everything is documented in writing and handed over on completion, and we are happy to answer any questions about the terms before work begins.
Can the control upgrade be done on an existing lift without a lengthy shutdown?
The time the lift must be out of service varies depending on the complexity of the existing system, the number of floors and the wiring condition, all of which the engineer establishes during the survey. We work in a planned sequence to minimise disruption to building users and give you realistic expectations before the job begins.
How does a digital system speed up maintenance?
The new system displays the fault code directly on a screen, so the technician knows the problem instantly without guessing. This dramatically cuts downtime.
Does system upgrade work for all older lift types?
Most lifts can be upgraded, but the team inspects it first to ensure other components are compatible with the new system.
