KONE modular escalator modernization

Modernizing a traditional worm-gear escalator controller & gear 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 risk of fire 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 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 turning it into an eye-catching feature – couldn’t be easier. You can replace any or all of the building balustrades, metal access covers, escalator comb plates, skirts and decking, cleaning and balancing steps, as well as the lighting.

It’s important to make sure your escalators comply with all relevant local procedures and standards. We offer various modular escalator application modernization solutions for bringing your equipment up to date, including brush deflector systems, dynamic braking resistors, and additional escalator safety signage.
