Escalator Modernization Benefits

Escalator modernization ensures that your escalators continue to be energy efficient, reliable, and up to date with the latest equipment safety features. The truss may last as long as your building, but it is important to consider escalator modernization because escalator step chain components and drive components can wear and become outdated. Autowalk modernization also ensures that steps, balustrades, and lighting maintain a fresh, modern appearance.

BETTER ESCALATOR PERFORMANCE

Compared to older equipment, escalator modernization increases the total effective equipment performance. Less waiting and frustration, and fewer breakdowns – all from your existing escalator or autowalk. Updating the escalator drive chain components and the chain components of your equipment will have a significant impact on its performance.
