Escalator and moving walks full replacement with TKE

Escalators and moving walks are the marathon runners among transport systems, not only in terms of daily operating time, but also total years of use. High-traffic escalators with 40 or more years of operation are not uncommon in the United Kingdom.

But if an escalator really is at the end of its product lifecycle after several decades of non-stop operation, our experienced project management, well trained technicians and the the full replacement systems from TK Elevator set new standards in terms of logistics and installation times. A full replacement or retrofit project is an opportunity to introduce the latest safety, performance and digital technologies all at once, and to optimise the overall lifecycle costs significantly by starting completely from anew.

Choose the timining. Keep control.

The best time for any modernisation or replacement action is when you can still choose the timing. Especially in busy environments such as airports, train and metro stations, shopping centres or supermarkets, avoiding unexpected delays and business interruptions is key. Our project management processes have been perfected over many years to minimise interference with your everyday operations. We adapt to your schedule, with installation options that can be completed overnight or over a weekend to minimise disruption.

Plan ahead. Execute precisely.

Tight spaces or busy sites do not necessarily exclude a full replacement in favour of less intrusive modernisation options. We can deliver new escalators and moving walks in one piece for fast installation or in two sections, when access is restricted. We've been to mountain-top locations and the deepest metro tunnels. Our teams will explore all available logistics solutions, with cranes, trains or even helicopters. Coordinating closely with owners, facility managers and architects, we plan every detail to minimise disruption.
