Lift Inspection

Devices for lifting and transporting people – such as elevators, escalators and moving walks in residential, commercial and public buildings as well as in industrial facilities – present a considerable risk potential. Therefore, most of them are subject to particularly strict safety regulations during their design, installation and operation.

With our LiKoS family of analyzing tools we can support the increase of safety and comfort on your elevators within the inspection and in between. To give you a permanent tool to manage your elevators reliability and reduce downtimes and trouble with your costumers we have developed the Lift Explorer, a permanent online monitoring solution. With the Lift Explorer dashboard you have access to elevators in all your buildings in one place.
