Every lift has a lifespan
The lifts used in buildings require special servicing and maintenance. However, there comes a stage when the cables and the machine systems get so worn out that no further servicing and maintenance works can make the elevator work to its optimum level. If you push the elevator beyond this point, then you are essentially risking the lives of people riding up and down in the lift. Another important thing is that since elevator technology changes rapidly and new elevator models are released all the time, older lifts go out of manufacturing process. If there is damage to the lift, then you might not find the required spare parts. So, it is necessary to modernize lifts where necessary. In cases where existing lifts cannot be modernized, you need to have the lift completely replaced.
