Sergei Sobyanin approved plans for the implementation of the program for replacing elevator equipment in apartment buildings. The Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement made a report on this topic Petr BiryukovIn 2025, it is planned to replace 4,265 elevators in the capital’s buildings.

There are over 117,000 elevators installed in Moscow apartment buildings. This is almost a quarter of their total number in Russia. About 22,000 residential buildings are equipped with elevators, more than 65 percent of which are higher than 10 stories.

As of 2010, over 17 percent of elevators in Moscow apartment buildings were beyond their service life. Without appropriate measures, their number could exceed 25 percent of the total number of elevators in the next few years.

In 2011, the Moscow Government decided to implement a large-scale program to replace elevator equipment in the housing stock. Since 2015, this work has continued as part of the regional capital repair program.

In total, since 2011, about 49.2 thousand new elevators have been installed in residential buildings in the capital (42 percent of the total number of elevators in Moscow apartment buildings), which are used by almost four million city residents.

Thanks to a systematic approach to solving the problem, since 2018 there are no elevators in the capital’s housing stock that exceed the 25-year service life. Replacement is carried out on a planned basis – in the year of expiration of the established service life.

In 2025–2034, 50.9 thousand elevators will be replaced within the framework of the regional program. Thus, in total, 100.1 thousand elevators will be replaced in Moscow in 2011–2034.

New Moscow elevators meet the most modern requirements for safety, operating comfort and appearance, including:

— an extended doorway (up to 700–800 millimetres) for comfortable access to the cabin for passengers with a wheelchair or baby carriage — if possible, where the dimensions of the elevator shaft allow;

— modern wear-resistant finish in elevator cabins: for example, elevator cabin panels are made of metal-plastic, and the floor covering is made of corrugated aluminum;

– a control panel finished in polished stainless steel with a built-in electronic display, push-button elements with circular stainless steel backlighting, as well as modern full-color light panels;

— energy-efficient LED lamps and indication systems – they provide energy savings;

— infrared sensors that prevent the elevator doors from closing if there is a passenger or cargo in the plane of the doorway;

— frequency converter of the main drive motor of elevators — it allows to smooth out peak loads on the power supply system of the house and increases the service life of the motor and kinematic elements of the elevator many times;

— frequency converter of the motor in the door drive, which increases the service life of the mechanism and reduces the noise level;

— handrails, Braille buttons in the cabin — for passengers with disabilities.

The elevator equipment installed as part of the regional capital repair program is manufactured in Russia. At the same time, since 2015, the bulk of the replaced elevators were supplied by enterprises of the Moscow region – Karacharovsky Mechanical and Shcherbinsky Elevator-Building Plants. Their production capacities allow them to fully meet the need for elevator equipment for the implementation of the program for its replacement in all apartment buildings of the city.

To improve the efficiency of work and support Russian production, amendments were made to federal legislation at the initiative of the Moscow Government in 2024. They allow the regional operator (the Moscow capital repairs fund) to centrally purchase equipment and materials for capital repairs, as well as to conclude long-term contracts for their supply with counter investment obligations of the supplier to localize production on the territory of the subject.

Such contracts guarantee the supply of high-quality equipment, and allow the creation of conditions for opening new production capacities and jobs. They also ensure import substitution and localization of production.

In 2024, the capital repair fund signed special contracts with the Karacharovsky Mechanical Plant and the Shcherbinsky Elevator-Building Plant. They provide for the delivery of over 45 thousand modern elevators over 10 years.

At the same time, all delivered elevators must comply with a single standard, have high technical characteristics and a modern design. In particular, the new elevators are distinguished by low noise and vibration levels, smooth acceleration and braking. The cabins stop exactly flush with the floor of the floor, they have a TFT display, a mirror and a handrail on the back or side wall, and the walls are painted with special anti-vandal paint.

As part of the implementation of special contracts, the Karacharovsky Mechanical Plant and the Shcherbinsky Elevator-Building Plant will carry out large-scale modernization, build new production buildings and localize serial production of new-generation passenger elevators.

The implementation of special contracts will guarantee the supply of high-quality elevator equipment for the implementation of the regional capital repair program.
