Lift Modernisation at URBN’s Well-Known Retail Head Office in London
At VM Elevators, we specialise in providing tailored lift modernisation solutions across multiple sectors, including the fast-paced retail sector. One of our recent projects was carried out at URBN’s well-known Head Office in East London, home to one of the most recognisable retail brands on the UK high street.
As a hub for URBN’s retail operations, the London Head Office required a lift system capable of supporting heavy daily traffic from staff and visitors. The existing lift was becoming unreliable and inefficient, creating the risk of downtime that could disrupt both head office functions and the wider retail operations it supports.
VM Elevators delivered a bespoke lift modernisation package designed to restore performance and bring the system up to modern standards. Our works included:
- Supply and installation of a new lift controller to improve reliability, safety, and efficiency
- Integration of a load weigher and load cell to ensure precise weight monitoring for safe and seamless journeys
- Conversion from triphase to a VVVF door operator kit, providing smoother, quieter, and more energy-efficient operation
- Installation of a full-length COP housing, giving the lift a modern, professional finish that matches the quality expected from a leading retail group
- The modernised lift now delivers the speed, safety, and reliability required in a busy corporate head office environment. By upgrading the elevator system, URBN has ensured a reliable, future-ready lift that supports the daily demands of its London Head Office, enhancing both reliability and efficiency for its corporate operations.
At VM Elevators, we are proud to provide high-quality lift modernisation services that extend the life of existing assets while ensuring they meet the demands of modern workplaces and retail and corporate environments.
