Escalator Periodic Inspection

RoyalCert's qualified inspection engineers conduct comprehensive periodic safety inspections of escalators and moving walkways in commercial premises, shopping malls, airports, hotels and public buildings. Our inspections ensure that escalator equipment is safe for public use, properly maintained and compliant with all applicable safety standards and regulatory requirements.
