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it is important to consider escalator modernization because chain components and drive components can wear and become outdated.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.
