The escalator and elevator lift have come a long way since the first recorded hoist system in 236 BC Greece. Today, these are part of our daily life in this modern world. The heart of any reliable and efficient people-mover system lies in its sensor. VPG Transducers keep things moving along safely, with our reliable and robust load cells, reducing undue stress that can cause premature failures, which may result in injury and even fatality.
