Damaged Tread Restoration
In our welding and machining department we repair tread grooves of any depth with absolute precision. Even in cases where the majority of the surface is compromised, we restore the tread to its original profile and machine-grade finish. After repair, the grooves are fully rebuilt, leaving no visible signs of damage or welding. The result is a flawless surface that meets or exceeds original manufacturing standards.

Paint Correction
Factory-Quality Epoxy Refinishing
A worn or damaged finish doesn’t mean a step needs to be replaced. Our premium refinishing process restores escalator steps to an appearance that meets—or exceeds—factory standards.
Using only the highest-grade industrial epoxy coatings, we professionally repair peeling, chipping, and worn paint while providing exceptional durability in high-traffic environments. Every step is precisely color-matched to the original grey or black factory finish for a seamless appearance.
Our yellow demarcation lines are carefully masked and applied to produce bright, highly visible edges with crisp, clean lines—completely free of overspray, bleeding, or imperfections.
The result is a professional, long-lasting finish that not only enhances the appearance of your escalator but also helps protect the step from corrosion and wear. Our goal is to deliver a finish that looks better than new and provides reliable performance for the remaining service life of the escalator step.
Cleaning
Professional Escalator Step Detailing
Every escalator step undergoes a thorough, multi-stage detailing process to restore it to a like-new condition. Dirt, grease, contaminants, oxidation, and debris are meticulously removed from every surface—inside and out—ensuring each step is clean, professionally prepared, and ready for inspection, repair, and refinishing.
To protect critical components, every bearing is sealed with a new heavy-duty 8 mm industrial protective sleeve before cleaning begins. This prevents dust and debris from entering the bearings, preserving their original condition and ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
Our attention to detail ensures every refurbished step leaves our facility clean, protected, and finished to the highest standard.
Logistics
Professional Packaging & Logistics
Every refurbished escalator step is professionally packaged to ensure it arrives in the same exceptional condition in which it leaves our facility. Each step is carefully wrapped in multiple layers of heavy-duty industrial stretch film to protect against dirt, moisture, and handling damage during transit.
The wrapped steps are securely palletized and fastened using commercial-grade steel banding applied with professional banding equipment, ensuring the load remains stable throughout shipping. Our packaging process is designed to protect your investment, minimize the risk of transport damage, and ensure every shipment arrives safe, secure, and ready for installation.
