Having one or two reliable escalator consultants on speed dial can be very handy when you’ve got several of these machines in your building and you need to keep them in perfect condition throughout the lifetime of their use. Even though the maintenance of an escalator is more or less straightforward and you only need to call the maintenance crew every few months or so, you should still consider hiring a few escalator consultants to help you by pointing out some potentially weak spots in the design of your escalators, and how you can optimize the installation as a whole.
The thing is, the job doesn’t just cover the mechanic aspect of the escalator’s operation – it actually concentrates on things like the flow of people through the escalator in both directions. So for example, your escalator consultants can have a look at the building’s layout, how people come in and out of the escalator, and they can use that to figure out if you can rearrange some of the furniture or other design elements to improve the traffic of people through the building, and make it easier for both them and your own staff.
