Lift and escalator inspection

In recent years, Singapore has seen a surge in construction activities, leading to a substantial increase in the demand for new lifts in newly developed buildings and the modernisation of existing lift and escalator systems. The current installation number is approximately 70,000 passenger lifts and 7,000 escalators, and it will likely reach 90,000 lifts and escalators by 2030.

Recognising the pivotal role vertical transportation systems play in our daily operations, TÜV SÜD’s Lift and Escalator inspection services are designed to meet the dynamic demands of the Lift and Escalator industry. From routine inspections, maintenance assessments, compliance audits, to specialised Permit to Operate (PTO) inspections, our services are tailored to ensure that your vertical transportation systems are safe, operational, and compliant with evolving local regulatory standards.

In a strategic move that solidifies TÜV SÜD’s commitment to excellence, A-Reliance Engineers has recently become a part of the TÜV SÜD family. This acquisition brings together a wealth of experience and strengthens TÜV SÜD’s position in meeting the ever-evolving demands and complexities of advancing technologies in lifts and escalators.

Established in 2017, A-Reliance Engineers (ARE) Pte Ltd has emerged as a leading Vertical Transportation service provider in Singapore, renowned for upholding stringent safety standards within the industry.
