TK Elevator
United Kingdom and Ireland
TK Elevator strongly supports the global efforts to prevent the spread of Coronavirus. We do this by applying strict safety and hygiene measures in line with the recommendations of the World Health Organisation and the applicable provisions of government authorities.
As one of the world’s leading service providers, we take our responsibility to ensure ongoing mobility in buildings very seriously, especially for crucial infrastructure such as health and public facilities. We are making every effort to guarantee that our services remain fully available to all customers. To increase travel safety on elevators, escalators and other mobility infrastructure, we offer new and innovative solutions to increase hygiene standards and enable social distancing.
Smart in-cabin sanitisation for elevators
Elevators are enclosed, restricted spaces. The sanitisation of cabin air, elevator surfaces, buttons and handrails therefore warrant special attention.
The UV-C light air purifier is capable of eliminating >99% of germs and viruses. The device activates automatically when a person enters the cabin and stays in operation for 30 minutes after they leave.
Installed on the roof of the elevator car, this device purifies the air in lift cabins using ozone, creating a clean and hygienic environment, free from harmful microorganisms. It also removes other noxious chemical compounds, including those that cause unpleasant odours.
Enabling safe usage and social distancing: Our touchless solutions
Touchless call – operating the elevator with your smartphone
Our contactless control system allows passengers to operate the elevator via their smartphone or tablet without touching any buttons. Just scan the QR code located near the elevator door or inside the cabin. A virtual landing or cabin operation panel appears on your device via the web browser to call the elevator or select the destination floor.
Elevator pass – operating the elevator with QR code passes
Our Elevator pass system enables contactless operation of the elevator via QR code scans. The codes are either generated via our dedicated, free smartphone app, can be forwarded via email or text, or printed on paper (e.g. for guests at an entrance reception). QR code readers at every landing translate the scans into operating commands.
Please understand that our service technicians are currently paying very close attention to compliance with hygiene and safety regulations at the work site and are applying these to a greater extent themselves. No activity is so urgent that it cannot be performed safely.
When confirming work reports, please pay special attention to hand hygiene, spatial distance and try to complete the process together with our employees without contact.
If you require services in exposed locations (health care facilities, retirement homes, etc.), we request that you instruct our staff on any new safety regulations and, if necessary, provide accompanying persons or protective equipment.
Also in the interest of the passengers, make sure that your systems are cleaned carefully - not only inside the elevator cabins, but also the landing controls, and the handrails of escalators.
Our technicians are instructed to strictly avoid interpersonal contact. Please excuse our staff for keeping a minimum distance of 2 metres, as well as refraining from shaking hands and conducting small talk. We kindly ask that you also refrain from doing the same.
On behalf of all our service technicians we would like to thank you for your support.
