Machine-Room Less( MRL), conventional gearless high-speed traction electors, or spiral or straight escalators for indoor or outdoor use, TEI has a strong portfolio and design team that can identify the right solution for specific applications. The design team works closely with clients to take all aspects of design and installation into account, including performance, life expectancy, user experience, aesthetics, and living habits.
While not even the most state-of-the-art elevators last forever, TEI’ s expert engineering team can assess current systems and design a modernization solution. From full replacement to a new component like a controller, door operator, or fixture, TEI brings systems up to date to ensure they perform at peak efficiency. Similarly, continuous maintenance and repairs are essential for reliable, consistent, and safe operations. TEI provides a customized preventative maintenance and repair program based on a client’ s specific systems, usage, and requirements.
