Lift Retrofit
Modernization
Find out what your lift could really cost over 10, 15, 20 or 25 years. Enter only the basic details you know — Volo estimates maintenance, electricity, repairs, modernization and replacement costs.
Just answer these basic questions. The calculator estimates the remaining cost using indicative lift ownership assumptions.
Volo estimates the major ownership-cost categories automatically.
See when routine costs occur and when major lifecycle expenditure is expected.

You don't need to know the future maintenance or replacement cost. The calculator builds an indicative planning model from your lift profile.
A modelled equipment and installation allowance based on lift type and number of stops, unless you provide your actual quote.
An indicative annual AMC allowance adjusted for lift type, stops, age and usage.
Estimated annual energy cost based on lift category, operating intensity and typical equipment assumptions.
A lifecycle repair provision increases with age and usage to account for common component replacement.
An allowance is introduced during the later years for systems such as controls, drives, door operators and safety equipment.
A future replacement provision is modelled where the selected ownership period extends into the later lifecycle.
The price quoted for a new lift is only the beginning of its ownership cost. Over the years, the building owner also pays for servicing, energy, consumables, repairs, component replacement and potentially modernization.
Two lifts with similar purchase prices can therefore have different long-term ownership costs.
For apartment associations and villa owners, the important question is often not simply "How much is the lift?"
The more useful question is: "How much could this lift cost us to own and operate?"
This calculator provides a preliminary long-term view using only the basic information that most customers know.
Select the lift's approximate age and current usage. The model increases the repair and modernization provisions as the equipment gets older.
Enter the basic lift profile and optionally enter the quotation price you have received. The calculator can then use that actual price instead of the modelled initial investment.
Lift life cycle cost is the estimated total expenditure for purchasing, installing, operating, maintaining, repairing, modernizing and replacing a lift over a defined period.
The calculator requires only lift type, number of stops, lift age, usage level, number of lifts and the desired ownership period. An actual quotation price and AMC can optionally be entered if available.
You can leave it blank. The calculator estimates an indicative AMC allowance based on the lift profile.
You do not need to enter it. The calculator estimates electricity cost using the lift type and usage profile.
Yes. The model includes an indicative repair and spare-parts provision that changes according to lift age, type and usage.
Yes. The model includes an indicative modernization allowance during the later part of the lift lifecycle.
Yes. Select the appropriate lift-age range. Older equipment receives a higher indicative repair and modernization allowance.
Yes. Calculate each lift using its respective type, stops, usage and age assumptions. If you know the quoted price and AMC, enter those values in the optional fields.
No. It is an indicative planning estimate. Actual future costs can change because of equipment specification, usage, energy tariffs, spare-part pricing, service scope, modernization needs and market conditions.
Yes. You can share your quotation with Volo for a more equipment-specific review of pricing, AMC, specifications and potential lifecycle cost.
Compare your quotation or ask Volo to review your long-term maintenance and ownership costs.
