QuickSplice™
Draka EHC can field splice one handrail in less than 5 hours, two in less than 8!
Our Service Experts will provide you with the highest level of handrail support and service, saving you downtime and money.
Repetition Is Key
Our Service Technicians undergo extensive splice and handrail repair training. They only service escalator handrails, having an average of 10 years experience or 5000 splices. The splice is the weakest point on any handrail – trust only Draka EHC Certified Technicians to perform all of your field splices.
For new construction projects, it may be difficult to accurately determine the length of the handrail needed – the best solution is to overestimate the length and have the handrail spliced to fit at the jobsite. Field splicing can be especially difficult for maintenance companies if they only maintain a few escalators. Rely on Draka EHC to perform field splicing allowing mechanics to focus on other projects.
Cost Savings
