Traditional escalator drives for heavy traffic locations

Renold Gears' experienced application engineers work closely with escalator manufacturers, end users, and transit authorities to provide bespoke systems and the optimum design for each application.

The company manufactures drive packages for new installations, as well as designing drop-in replacements for other manufacturers' products on modernisation projects, even if the old drive is obsolete and no longer supported. When replacing old drives a site survey is carried out to determine the critical dimensions of the old unit, including its baseplate, the shaft height and the space envelope into which the new unit will fit.

Each new drive package is fully load tested before it leaves the factory, in accordance with the transit authority's specifications, and engineers can assist with the installation and commissioning to ensure the whole process runs smoothly, and on time. Renold can even provide training to ensure the new drive package is maintained correctly for optimum performance and service life.
