Information, awareness & partnership
Elevators/escalators/moving walks are an important part of the infrastructure. Thanks to annual inspections, elevators are among the safest means of transportation.
In Austria, around 6.5 billion people use one of the 90,000 TÜV AUSTRIA-inspected elevators every year.
We stand for safety, quality and responsibility.
The elevator manufacturers ensure the maintenance and servicing of their systems by means of maintenance contracts. We subject the elevators to a “stress test”. This means that we check whether the machines function in accordance with the test basis, i.e. in accordance with the relevant operating regulations, even in an emergency.
As the operator, you are liable for the safety of your passengers. We minimize your liability risk.
