For years the industry has recognized the need for better escalator safety, and more recently, many changes have been made in an effort to improve it.

This has resulted in the advent of new safety devices. However, these devices are not designed to prevent problems, merely to react to them. In fact in some cases the operation of a device designed to prevent one type of accident may result in another!

At Vertical Analysis we recognized the need for a better solution, one that would improve both the safety and reliability of the equipment. We know that the most effective way of reducing the potential for accidents is through the early identification and subsequent repair of worn, damaged or defective components.

Drawing from the experience of our principle members, experts from the Vertical Transportation industry, a Defense Electronics Engineer and a NASA mechanical engineer, we set about producing the first ever scientific method of inspecting escalators. This resulted in the development of the Escalator Analyzer and the Escalator Safety Analysis Program.

Every year thousands of people are injured or killed while riding escalators. At Vertical Analysis we are proud to have the opportunity to make a difference.
