Elevator, Escalator & Walkway Inspection Services
Elevator and escalator inspection services are structured, standards-based assessments of vertical transportation systems designed to verify that equipment is safe, reliable, fully operational, and compliant with applicable regulations.
Comprehensive Component Evaluation
Our qualified third-party inspectors conduct a comprehensive evaluation of all critical components — drive systems, control panels, braking mechanisms, suspension ropes or cables, guide rails, handrails, doors, electrical systems, and emergency safety devices — assessed against internationally recognized standards such as EN 81, ASME A17.1 and SASO Standards.
