FAQs
Are elevators and escalators safe?
Yes. Modern systems are equipped with advanced safety features. Regular inspections, emergency brakes, overload sensors, and fail-safes are standard in quality systems.
How often should these systems be maintained?
Routine maintenance should be performed monthly or quarterly, depending on usage, regulations, and manufacturer recommendations.
What happens during a power failure?
Most modern elevators are equipped with Automatic Rescue Devices (ARD) that safely take the elevator to the nearest floor and open the doors. Escalators and moving walks will stop safely.
What is the load capacity of a typical elevator?
Passenger elevators usually range from 320 kg to 1600 kg. For freight elevators, capacities can exceed 2000 kg or more depending on the design.
Can escalators and moving walks be customized for design or branding?
Yes. Treads, balustrades, lighting, and side panels can be tailored for visual aesthetics and brand integration.
