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.

What sets this area apart
Umm Salim is a relatively older residential area with a high concentration of multi-storey apartment buildings, most built in the middle decades of Riyadh's development. Lifts in these buildings see medium to heavy use, but their outdated control systems have begun causing uneven stops and repeated breakdowns. Upgrading the controller to a digital system with an inverter drive improves daily comfort and reduces emergency maintenance visits.
Umm Salim lies in central Riyadh, an older residential district with multiple apartment towers and high population density.
Most lifts in Umm Salim are electric units with control systems from the nineteen-sixties, seventies and eighties, making spare parts scarce and performance unstable.

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.
Our lift is very old and spare parts are impossible to find, what can we do?
Upgrading to a digital controller is the best solution. You no longer need to search for rare old parts; instead you use a modern system that Lift Barq provides with readily available spares and easy maintenance.
How many visits will you need to complete the upgrade?
This depends on the lift's current condition and any additional components needing replacement. The team determines the full plan and timeline during the first visit and contacts you in advance before each visit.
