Plastics for lifts and escalators
Fast, safe and comfortable: Modern lifts and escalators are subject to high demands. They have to be reliable and safe even at high usage intensity and high load capacities, and are generally in operation for many years. Manufacturers and developers need know-how and experience for their design. We can support you in this task based on our knowledge and high-quality plastic components.
Renowned manufacturers of lifts and escalators have been using our products in development for several decades. Components made of our plastics replace heavy steel elements in lifts and escalators worldwide. They are very light, durable and maintenance-free, thus contributing to the development of high-performance lifts. For a better quality of life – whether in a residential building, company or public institution: Elevators facilitate reaching the next floor, transport loads and provide barrier-free access.
