Benefits of escalator modernization
Escalator modernization ensures that your escalators continue to be energy efficient, reliable, and up to date with the latest escalator safety features. The truss may last as long as your building, but it is important to consider escalator modernization because chain components and drive components can wear and become outdated.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 performance
Compared to older equipment, escalator modernization increases performance. Less waiting and frustration, and fewer breakdowns – all from your existing escalator or autowalk. Updating the drive components and the chain components of your equipment will have a significant impact on its performance.
