Midland Escalators Engineering Services
Motor & Gearbox Refurbishment
Our motor & gearbox engineering services include design, analysis, and testing of the gearbox and motor windings. Escalator motor and gearbox refurbishment involves disassembling, cleaning, and restoring worn components to extend the lifespan and improve performance. This process helps reduce downtime and costs by avoiding full replacement, while ensuring the equipment operates smoothly and efficiently.
Fault Finding
Fault finding on escalators and moving walks involves systematically diagnosing issues such as unusual noises, sudden stoppages, or irregular movement. Technicians use specialised diagnostic tools and their experience to identify and resolve faults in mechanical, electrical, and safety systems, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
Glass Replacement and Boarding
Glass replacement on escalators involves the safe removal and installation of balustrade panels that may be cracked, chipped, or damaged. This process requires precision handling and compliance with safety regulations to maintain the structural integrity and appearance of the escalator. Our specialist team will take care of safely removing the broken glass, making a template for renewal and safely boarding the missing pane until replacement can be completed.
Drive Chain Replacement
Drive chain renewal on escalators involves removing the worn or stretched chain that connects the motor to the step drive system and replacing it with a new one. This essential maintenance task ensures smooth, reliable operation and prevents unexpected breakdowns due to chain failure. Correct maintenance of the chain prevents premature wear and extends its life.
Drive End Repairs
Drive end repairs may involve overhauling key components such as bearings, shafts, gears, and couplings located at the motor drive end. This process restores efficiency, reduces noise and vibration, and helps prevent costly breakdowns. Regular refurbishment extends the life of the escalator and ensures safe, reliable performance. Our team will take every precaution to protect the public during this extensive repair work and provide regular updates on progress.
