Lifts and escalators
Lifts
Different specialised crews complete separate phases of work on lifts. Lift (elevator) work can be placed into two categories:
- installation of a new unit and repair
- modernisation of an existing unit.
The type of licence you need will depend on the type of installation or repair work you are doing. View the lifts and escalators guidelines (PDF, 0.45 MB) to find out which licence you need.
Escalators
Escalators and moving walks are installed in both new and existing buildings. Depending on their size, escalators may be installed as a single unit or in sections. Due to their size, moving walks are generally installed in sections (moving walks are included as escalators).
