Accessibility is property value

Mobility systems such as lifts and escalators are indispensable facilities in modern buildings. They guarantee comfort and accessibility for all. They also represent a significant portion of the building's value, and can determine the attractiveness of a property and are thus an important part of an owner's investment.

In our ageing cities, mobility solutions that continue to function smoothly many years after they were first put into operation are an indicator of a well-maintained building. For your transport systems, this means: preventive maintenance, timely repairs, replacement of worn parts and targeted modernization of components until it is time for the product life cycle to be restarted with a full replacement unit.

TKE is your maintenance and modernization partner along the entire product life cycle, not just for equipment that was manufactured by us, but also any brand of elevators or escalators. Our approach is aligned with your interests: providing continued access and mobility in buildings while keeping a close eye on operational and economic efficiency – no matter who manufactured the original lift, escalator or moving walk. Modernization also includes digitalizing elevators and escalators to enhance their functionality, efficiency, and user experience.
