Our NVQ level 4 technicians carry out modifications to various types of escalators to comply with current European regulatory standards according to EN 115.
At DMS Escalators we offer the highest standard of work on moving walkways and have decades of experience in modifying a range of different models to improve performance and safety.
Escalator controllers are an essential part of running models safely and efficiently. Newer touch screen controllers with manual and auto settings offer better functionality than outdated units, and replacing them is easy to manage. Staff benefit from user friendly menus and end users will enjoy a comfortable experience on the moving walkway.
Safety switches are another common modification, which may require rewiring as part of the installation. As with controllers, newer safety switches can perform more reliably, other various programme settings and have long mechanical lives for peace of mind.
We comply with EU and British safety standards, adhering to the codes of practise set out in EN 115 Part 1 and 2, which were updated as recently as 2017.
EN 115 lays out safety requirements and protective measures for escalators and moving walkways to safeguard users and objects from the risk of accidents.
Part 1 covers the installation, operation, maintenance and inspection work, whilst Part 2 details guidelines on the improvement of escalators, such as modifications, modernisations and refurbishments.
