Frequently asked questions

Learn more about escalator maintenance with helpful answers to common questions.

  • KONE escalators service intervals vary based on operational environment and annual running hours. Service in commercial spaces is typically planned once every three months.

  • A typical maintenance task list includes but is not limited to visual inspection of escalators and moving parts, functional testing, testing of safety devices and cleaning.

  • Common causes of escalator breakdowns include the following:

    • Handrail bearing failure or over-tensioning leading to increased handrail temperature.
    • Misalignment or rust in the step band causing increasing noise levels.
    • Increased braking distance or speed differences between the handrail and step band, signaling safety risks.
    • Stoppages due to electrical system protection or foreign objects entrapped in the step band or comb plates.
    • Instability in the drive station, detected through excessive vibration on the gearbox, or oil degradation indicated by rising temperatures.
    • If you are experiencing any of these escalator issues, make sure to report them promptly as they are both safety risks and early indication of escalator breakdown.
  • In most countries, having a regular maintenance contract for your escalator is required by law. Usually, an escalator maintenance contract includes regular preventive maintenance and safety checks and tasks to keep your escalator running smoothly and safely and to comply with regulations and OEM recommendations. It further includes elements to define support and response times in case the escalator has an issue.

    The maintenance contract scope defines coverage of repairs. Minor repairs and adjustments are usually covered, while major repairs, cosmetic upgrades, or modernization are typically excluded. Maintenance logs and service reports are also typically included to document regulatory compliance, while the contract also defines how regulatory inspections are managed or supported by the maintenance supplier. The agreement also outlines pricing, contract length, renewal terms, and liability protections, so you know exactly what’s included and what isn’t.

  • AI analytics maximize escalator uptime by predicting maintenance and preventing failures. Real-time tracking of speed, temperature, vibration, and energy enhances safety and efficiency. Read more about predictive maintenance
