With our modular escalator modernization solutions, you can renew individual escalator components or complete equipment systems like the escalator control panel. For example, you can choose upgrades that improve the user safety and appearance of your equipment while leaving the mechanical components intact. With modular modernization, you benefit from the latest technology and keep your equipment in line with the latest regulations, all with minimal inconvenience to tenants and visitors.
Modernizing a traditional worm-gear escalator drive with the eco-efficient KONE Direct Drive reduces energy consumption and increases equipment reliability and performance. Because critical components are easily accessible, downtime is minimized, and maintenance is quicker and easier.
Our lubrication-free step escalator chains eliminate oil smells and the risk of oil leaking through the escalator cladding. This significantly reduces the fire risk and makes escalator repair and maintenance easier.
Replacing an aging escalator controller with a modern microprocessor-based unit will significantly improve equipment safety and energy efficiency. The KONE 501 control equipment connects to the latest safety escalator monitoring systems for increased peace of mind.
With KONE modernization benefits, you can bring the visual appearance of your escalator in line with your building’s look and feel – or turn it into an eye-catching feature – which couldn’t be easier. You can replace all building balustrades, metal access covers, escalator comb plates, skirts, decking, cleaning and balancing steps, and lighting.
Ensuring your escalators comply with all relevant local procedures and standards is essential. We offer various modular escalator modernization solutions for updating your equipment, including brush deflector systems, dynamic braking resistors, and additional escalator safety signage.
Includes all the information you will need in order to plan an escalator or autowalk.
Our innovation, the KONE Direct Drive for escalators, is a drive solution that increases energy efficiency and also makes the escalator safer for passengers as well as during maintenance.
Well-planned modernization ensures your equipment continues to operate reliably, that it complies with the latest safety standards, and complements your building’s design. We can monitor the condition of your equipment and help you make informed decisions about what modernization work needs to be done and the best time to do it.
