Introduction:
VDR Marine Equipment is the sole distributor and service partner for Semperit products in the Middle East, based in the United Arab Emirates.
Our mission is to reduce the lead-time of handrails in the GCC from several weeks to custom made handrails ready in hours.
e accomplish this through extensive stock availability and quality expertise.
Skilled staff:
Continuous training of our staff by Semperit experts ensures strict compliance with specified parameters and instructions in the entire vulcanization process.
Partnership with Semperit in the Middle East:
Through our exclusive partnership with Semperit, we can offer our customers the highest quality products currently available. Semperit handrails were developed over the past decades in close cooperation with all well-known escalator manufacturers.
The future requirements of handrails will further increase due to the continuing trend of reduced bending radii in the escalator industry.
Rubber has this capability to resist such high strains while having excellent flexibility which results in smooth and energy efficient operation.

At Semperit we have been producing handrails since 1955, making us one of the world's longest established handrail producers still in existence. Today Semperit produces handrails at its production sites in Wimpassing in Austria, Shanghai in China and Fair Lawn in the USA.
Semperit exports its handrails to the majority of the countries in the world and is accordingly one of the leading international producers of black and coloured handrails for escalators and moving walkways. Semperit offers the right solution for every specification.
Semperit handrails offer you the highest quality and outstanding reliability. Our handrails are produced under application of the latest scientific technologies, and only high-grade and ISO certified raw materials are used in their production. We work in close co-operation with our customers to develop and produce handrails for every area of application - indoors or outdoors - and for the escalators and moving walkways of all manufacturers.

THE BEST CHOICE FOR ESCALATOR HANDRAILS
The first escalators were already equipped with handrails made of rubber. Up to 20 bending changes per one circulation of the escalator cause heavy loads for the handrail components. Assuming that a high-quality handrail circulates over 2,000,000 times before being exchanged, the handrail has to resist more than 40,000,000 bending changes. For this reason Semperit handrails all satisfy the following conditions:

RANGE OF APPLICATIONS

COMMERCIAL APPLICATION
The number of installed escalators in commercial areas like shopping centres, offices and hotels has been growing rapidly in recent years.
Due to their reliable and energy efficient operation, Semperit handrails are installed on the majority of high-quality escalators on the market.

OUTDOOR APPLICATION
Semperit handrails are operated in outdoor conditions around the globe.
Longtime field experience and customer feedback confirm that despite high ozone concentration and ambient pollution, Semperit handrails are running constantly.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Due to the extraordinary high demands on the handrails in public transportation applications, Semperit’s high-quality handrails are the first choice.
Semperit handrails are installed in metros, airports and train stations worldwide.
HANDRAIL STRUCTURE
Due to the smart combination of handrail structure and layer material our handrails can be used indoors as well as outdoors, while resisting heavy loads and remaining dimensionally stable.

HANDRAIL CUSTOMISATION

COLOUR
Semperit offers a variety of
coloured handrails. The choice
of high-performance pigments
ensures extraordinary resistance to discoloration if exposed to sun or artificial UV-light.

MOTION INDICATORS
If required Semperit offers handrails with motion indicators in white, yellow or grey colour.
Such „coloured dots“ placed on
the handrail surface indicate the operation, speed and running direction of an escalator.

BRANDING
To brand your handrails, we can offer two solutions – a permanent or non-permanent application. permanent branding: A logo is vulcanised on the handrail surface. non-permanent: A special foil is applied on the handrail surface.
HANDRAIL END PREPARATION:
Semperit handrails are tailored to your specific application and are available with different pre-fabricated handrail ends for quick and easy installation.
Preparation of handrails to meet customer needs
In close co-operation with our customers and designers we develop and produce handrails of different cross-sections for many types of applications and a wide range of escalators and moving walkways made by the world's largest manufacturers. We offer several shapes and colours as well as specially prepared ends depending on the application.




EL - Endless
Application: precise length of the endless handrail is known; it is installed as an endless handrail; no further vulcanisation needed.
EO – One end prepared
Application: precise length is not known; one end with a prepared end and the other fully cured and cut straight. On-site vulcanisation.
BO - Both Ends Prepared
Application: precise length is known; but cannot be installed as an endless handrail, fast and easy splice, on-site vulcanisation.
BG - Both Ends Vulcanised
Application: precise length of the endless handrail is not known beforehand, usually taken from reels(e.g. 400m), both ends must be prepared, spliced and vulcanised on-site.
