Airports and public transit systems Escalators & moving walks

Managing mobility

In public transport locations, people need to get from point A to B quickly. Even when crowded, it has to be a convenient experience – with few lines and short waiting times. For us, convenience also means reliable lifts, escalators, and moving walks that are optimally located. They should be large enough to handle capacity and easy enough to operate for all passengers in a full car, even those with disabilities.

Fast response

With us as your partner, you can ensure that public spaces stay mobile. Our products are especially durable and reliable, and can be connected to your building management systems. We know how our escalators and lifts are used and have just the right modernisation solution and service package to keep them running over the long term, including fast response and spare-parts delivery.

Perfect fit

We work with you to find the right mobility solution for your public transportation facility. In the cabins of our large lifts, you can place the control panel almost anywhere you need it. You can even have multiple control panels. We offer keyless options for your cleaning team. And our access control system lets you keep operating logistics efficiently in the background. Once you find the perfect fit, we can also assist you with fast installation.
