The same exacting standards apply to the build quality and the engineering design. The microprocessor controller ensures greater reliability and a multi-function operation panel provides key access and visual indication of running status together with a recent history and detailed fault diagnosis.

A Trav-O-Lator® that is designed for a commercial environment has to be signed to satisfy certain commercial criteria. It has to be economical, it has to be quiet and its ride has to be smooth.

The analysis of components and their performance, the advanced motor and control technology that comes through the huge investment in research and development and the fine-tuning of each Trav-O-Lator® installation on a regular basis - all contribute to economical performance. A quiet and smooth ride is dependent on the quality of components and the expertise of their assembly and in both respects we set ourselves uncompromising standards. We ensure each pallet is measured and rigorous assembly controls are implemented which compare each operation against a strict tolerance level. Rigidity is assured by the continuous glass holding supports. Friction and wear is minimal due to the closed loop polymer guidance system.

Optimum availability is also made possible by OTIS' sophisticated spare parts service network which is supported by highly trained service technicians. Sheer scale of our service operation means a faster response and superior availablilty.

Besides the standard balustrade safety glass, there is the option of smoked, bronze or green which can contrast with one of a number of handrail colours. The handrail entry box too can match the deckings and skirt panels. And then, to enhance the visual and safety aspects, skirt lighting and under-pallet lighting can be introduced.
