From outdated to outstanding—escalator modernization that performs
With over 150 years of industry experience, our tailored modernization solutions ensure your escalator is safe, compliant, and ready for the ride ahead.
Because waiting costs more than modernizing
Escalators travel a lot. In fact, an escalator operating daily for 30 years could travel the distance between the North and South Pole 14 times. And like any technical product, escalator components have a lifecycle—making it essential to plan to update before your equipment reaches the end of its useable life.
As a global leader in escalators and moving walks, Schindler modernization solutions can help your equipment perform more reliably and safely. Our experienced team will help you understand your options and provide the best solution for transforming your equipment into new, state-of-the-art mobility systems.
Improve safety, efficiency, and the passenger experience simultaneously
Minimize downtime
No structural changes and the retention of existing truss allows the building to continue normal operations during installation.
Enhance performance
New components and technology improve passenger comfort and safety as well as equipment reliability.
Reduce inconvenience
Shortened lead and completion time combined with less disruptions return your escalator to normal service faster.
Increase efficiency
We are committed to designing solutions in harmony with the environment. Modernizing to the latest products can help reduce energy consumption and related costs.*
