The expert doubted the possibility of replacing 25 thousand elevators in Russia per year.
Such classes did not exist even in the most "fruitful" times.
The General Director of the Russian Elevator Association, Pyotr Kharlamov, spoke about this on the "Moscow Speaks" radio station.
Considering our difficult economic situation, we strongly believe that 25 thousand elevators will be sold in 2027, but in previous years we never had more than 18 thousand elevator replacements per year. This is the most productive year 2023. We of course need to reach a figure of more than 20,000 elevators per year, and considering the plan, we need to replace 25,000 per year. But I doubt if 25 thousand elevators will be replaced this year.
The elevator has a designated service life of 25 years; After this period, representatives of expert organizations assess the elevator's compliance. And they determine how urgently it should be changed. The equipment must be changed and updated.
