English translation:refurbishment market
Explanation:
Alternatively "reconditioned" but would be more for the machinery rather than redoing the whole lift on a given site.

As a native speaker the difference is clear, but very difficult to explain. Renovate is more for things like antique furniture or of course antique lifts, while refurbishment doesn't have the antique connotation.
If you give full context, then you get better answers.
