Lloyds Inspection Agency America LLC provides professional escalator and moving walk inspection services to verify that equipment is designed, installed, operated, and maintained safely in accordance with applicable international standards, manufacturer specifications, and regulatory requirements. These inspections help ensure passenger safety, operational reliability, and compliance with engineering codes.
The inspection scope typically includes design and documentation review, installation inspection, safety component verification, operational testing, periodic safety inspection, and condition assessment of existing escalators. The objective is to ensure that all mechanical, structural, and electrical systems operate safely and meet applicable standards.
During inspection, LLOYDS engineers examine major mechanical components such as the drive motor, gearbox, drive shaft, brake system, drive chains, step chains, steps, step rollers, and guide systems. These components are checked for proper installation, wear condition, alignment, and safe operation.
Inspection includes verification of the handrail system, handrail drive mechanism, and synchronization between the handrail speed and step movement. Passenger contact areas such as handrails must operate smoothly and safely to provide stability for users.
Structural components including the escalator truss, skirt panels, landing platforms, comb plates, and passenger safety clearances are inspected. Proper clearances, alignment, and safety devices are verified to prevent passenger entrapment or mechanical hazards.
The electrical system inspection includes review of controller panels, wiring systems, motor protection devices, emergency stop circuits, alarm systems, and lighting systems. Electrical safety is essential to ensure reliable escalator operation and emergency response capability.
Operational testing may include verification of start and stop operation, direction control, brake performance, emergency stop activation, and overall operational stability. Functional tests confirm that the escalator operates safely under normal and emergency conditions.
LLOYDS also reviews relevant technical documentation such as manufacturer drawings, electrical schematics, equipment specifications, installation records, maintenance logs, and previous inspection reports to verify compliance with approved designs and technical requirements.
Escalator inspections are conducted with reference to internationally recognized standards, including ASME A17.1 / CSA B44 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators, ASME A17.2 Inspection Guide, ASME A17.3 for existing installations, and the EN 115 series standards for escalators and moving walks.
Upon completion of the inspection, LLOYDS provides a detailed inspection report and compliance assessment, including equipment identification, inspection scope, findings, safety observations, photographic evidence, and recommendations.
These inspection services help clients reduce operational risks, enhance passenger safety, extend equipment lifespan, and ensure compliance with international safety codes, engineering standards, and regulatory requirements.
