We know quality

Every three days, our elevators and escalators transport the equivalent of the world’s entire population; we care deeply about each and every person.

  • 1 Unmatched construction


    Otis escalators use rectangular steel trusses to increase their strength. Seal welds protect them against internal corrosion.

  • 2 Rigorous testing


    Escalator steps are subjected to dynamic load testing – not only 5 million times as normally required, but 20 million times. All our facilities conduct step breakage tests too, ensuring step quality and durability.

  • 3 Step chain assembly


    We use a computerized assembly jig for precise alignment of the tension carriage, track system and main drive.

Sustainable sophistication

Our escalators and moving walks embrace sustainability. Our smart lubrication system uses up to 98 percent less oil than manual lubrication systems. Sleep mode operation plus LED lighting further reduce energy consumption. In addition, the ReGen drive captures energy when the escalator travels in a downward direction, returning it to your power grid.

60% LESS POWER CONSUMPTION THAN ESCALATORS WITHOUT REGEN DRIVES
98% LESS LUBRICATING OIL CONSUMED THAN CONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS
