Ordering the old type guide
To order the old type guide, send the exact model or reference code printed on the original part to [email protected]. Please quote the full code including any suffix so that our team can confirm the correct variant, current stock and lead time before you commit.
About the old type guide
Elevator and escalator installations are built around a relatively small number of serviceable assemblies, but they fail at very different rates. The old type guide sits in the general elevator & escalator parts group, and it is replaced on a different service interval from the assemblies around it. In practice the failures we see on old type guide come down to a small number of serviceable assemblies — the controller, the door operator, the brake, the drive chain and the safety circuit.
Every old type guide we supply is inspected before dispatch. Each unit is checked for physical damage, correct marking and the specific wear or degradation patterns that matter for this class of component, then packed to survive international transit. Where a superseded revision is the only one available, we say so plainly and explain the substitution, so the installing engineer can make an informed decision rather than discovering the difference on site.
Buying guidance and compatibility notes
Before ordering the old type guide, confirm three things. First, the equipment model, the controller family and the exact reference printed on the failed component. Second, reference numbers change between revisions, so we map the old code onto the current one before quoting. Third, whether the installation is a traction lift or an escalator, since duty cycle and loading differ between the two.
On fitting, one point is worth repeating: a photograph of the nameplate is usually faster than a description, and avoids a return for the wrong revision. Almost every repeat failure we see on old type guide traces back to a related component that was left in place, or to an adjustment that was assumed rather than measured.
The independent aftermarket exists to cover the gap between what OEMs still stock and what is still running in the field. That gap widens every year, and the parts that fall into it are precisely the ones that fail most often in service.
A unit showing a quotation that cannot be confirmed without the original drawing is usually telling you that condition is graded against the failure modes that actually occur in service, not against cosmetic appearance.
Consolidating orders matters more than it appears. Freight costs and customs handling are largely fixed per shipment, so combining several wear items into one consignment is usually cheaper than ordering them separately as each one fails.
The underlying cause is usually markings on a failed part that are the least reliable identification available, which is why warranty terms are a useful proxy for how thoroughly a part was tested before dispatch.
The practical test of a supplier is what happens when something goes wrong. A compatibility question answered accurately, or a wrong part replaced without argument, is worth more over the life of a maintenance contract than a marginally lower unit price.
If you are unsure which variant of the old type guide you need, send a photograph of the nameplate and the existing component alongside a description of the fault. That is usually enough for our team to identify the correct replacement without a site visit, and it avoids the cost and delay of returning an incompatible part. We are also happy to advise on the other serviceable items in the same general elevator & escalator parts group, so a planned shutdown can cover several wear items at once.
