Lift and Escalator Services Across Ireland

New Escalator and Travelator Installations

​

HEC supplies and installs escalators and travelators for retail, commercial, transport and other high-traffic environments. We can assist with equipment selection, design coordination, installation planning and ongoing maintenance.

Our services include:

• Commercial escalator installations

• Inclined and horizontal travelators

• Equipment replacement

• Handrails, steps, pallets and safety components

• Testing, commissioning and handover

• Planned preventative maintenance following installation

​

Dumbwaiters and Service Lifts

​

Dumbwaiters provide a practical way to transport food, documents and smaller goods between floors. They are commonly used in hotels, restaurants, offices, healthcare facilities and commercial kitchens.

HEC supplies, installs, maintains and modernises dumbwaiters and small service lifts, with systems available in a range of sizes and configurations to suit the building and its intended use.

Platform Lift Installations

​

Platform lifts improve accessibility where a conventional passenger lift may not be suitable or necessary. HEC installs platform lifts in schools, offices, retail premises, healthcare facilities, apartment buildings and public spaces.

We provide:

• Vertical platform lifts

• Enclosed platform lifts

• Inclined platform lifts

• Wheelchair access solutions

• Maintenance and repair services

• Replacement and modernisation of existing equipment

​

Dock Levellers and Loading-Bay Equipment

​

HEC provides installation, maintenance and repair services for dock levellers and loading-bay lifting equipment. These systems must operate reliably to keep goods moving safely and prevent disruption to warehouse and delivery operations.

Our services include:

• New dock leveller installations

• Planned preventative maintenance

• Hydraulic and mechanical repairs

• Fault diagnosis

• Safety inspections

• Replacement components

• Refurbishment of existing equipment

​

Lift Modernisation

​

An older lift does not always need to be completely replaced. Modernisation allows selected mechanical, electrical and safety components to be upgraded while retaining suitable parts of the existing installation.

HEC develops modernisation programmes based on the lift’s condition, reliability, usage and available budget. Upgrades can improve performance, safety, accessibility, appearance and energy efficiency while extending the working life of the lift.

Modernisation options include:

• Lift controllers and electrical systems

• Traction machines and hydraulic equipment

• Door operators and landing doors

• Push buttons and position indicators

• Wiring and shaft equipment

• Emergency communication systems

• Lift car interiors, ceilings, lighting and flooring

• Accessibility and safety improvements

Lift Modernisation Costs in Ireland

​

The cost of lift modernisation in Ireland typically ranges from €30,000 to €100,000+ depending on the age of the lift, manufacturer, number of floors, scope of works and any building-specific requirements. A typical modernisation involves replacing outdated components such as the controller, drive system, door operators, safety equipment, landing fixtures and car operating panel while retaining much of the existing lift structure. This approach can significantly improve reliability, passenger comfort, energy efficiency and compliance with current safety standards without the cost of a complete lift replacement. Every project is different, so the best way to establish an accurate budget is through a detailed site survey and technical assessment. Honest Elevator Company provides lift modernisation services throughout Dublin and nationwide across Ireland, delivering tailored solutions for commercial buildings, apartment developments, shopping centres, hotels, hospitals, nursing homes and public sector facilities. Industry guidance notes that the overall cost of a modernisation is driven by the scope of component replacement, building constraints and equipment specification rather than a single fixed price.

​

Escalator and Travelator Modernisation

​

Escalators and travelators can often be upgraded without complete replacement. HEC assesses the existing equipment and recommends targeted improvements based on condition, availability of parts and long-term operating requirements.

Modernisation work can include:

• Controllers and electrical components

• Drive systems

• Steps, pallets, chains and rollers

• Handrails and handrail drive systems

• Comb plates and safety switches

• Lighting and visual improvements

• Energy-saving controls

• Replacement of obsolete components

​

Platform Lift, Dumbwaiter and Dock Leveller Modernisation

​

HEC also repairs, refurbishes and modernises platform lifts, dumbwaiters, service lifts and dock levellers. Where existing equipment remains structurally sound, replacing worn or obsolete components may provide a more practical and cost-effective solution than installing an entirely new system.

Modernisation may include new controls, drives, hydraulic equipment, operating stations, doors, communication systems and safety components.
