VR SOP Training for Elevators & Escalators: Build, Install & Commission

Clear, step-by-step training for safer installs and smoother handovers

Lift and escalator projects mix precision fabrication with high-risk installation on busy sites. Spark builds bespoke VR training that mirrors your car frames, guide rails, drives, controllers and site methods—so teams practise the correct sequence before working at height.

Common issues we fix

  • Rail alignment & fixings: shimming, plumb checks and torque settings.
  • Roping & tensioning: sheave guarding, tension balance and safety checks.
  • Controls & wiring: harness routing, interlocks and door zone set-up.
  • Escalator build: truss set, step chain tension and comb/handrail alignment.
  • Commissioning: brake tests, overspeed, safeties and documentation.

How our custom build works

  1. Capture your SOPs: lift/escalator work instructions, RAMS and test sheets.
  2. Create scenarios: rail install, roping, controller bring-up, truss alignment and FAT/SAT.
  3. Coach in VR: prompts for hold points, torque maps and safety at height.
  4. Assess: right-first-time steps, missed checks and re-training needs.

Benefits

  • Fewer site errors and call-backs.
  • Safer work at height and during energisation.
  • Faster handover with audit-ready records.
