Frequently Asked Questions

An escalator is a type of moving staircase that uses a motorized chain to drive a set of steps in a loop, allowing passengers to move between different levels in buildings or public spaces. The system is designed to carry large numbers of people efficiently and continuously without requiring passengers to step off the steps.

🔹 Step Chains & Treads: The motorized chain drives the steps, which are equipped with treads (footsteps) for passengers to stand on.
🔹 Drive Mechanism: A gear and motor system turns the chains and moves the steps.
🔹 Balustrade: The handrails move at the same speed as the steps, helping passengers maintain balance.
🔹 Safety Sensors: Detects obstructions and stops the escalator in case of emergency.

 
✅ Parallel Escalators
  • Most common type found in shopping malls, airports, and subway stations.
  • Simple design where multiple escalators move in the same direction (either up or down).
✅ Spiral Escalators
  • Curved escalators that twist around in a spiral, allowing vertical transport in limited space.
  • Ideal for mall atriums or museums with a design that accommodates architectural aesthetics.
✅ Moving Walkways (or Travelators)
  • Similar to escalators, but instead of steps, they use a moving belt for passengers to walk on.
  • Often found in airports and long corridors where people are traveling over longer distances.
✅ Inclined Elevators
  • Elevators on a slope or inclined angle (not necessarily steps). Sometimes found in hilly or mountainous areas.

🔹 Steps: The actual moving footsteps that passengers stand on.
🔹 Step Chains: The motorized chain system that drives the steps and allows them to move in a loop.
🔹 Drive Motor: Powers the escalator, usually located at the top or bottom.
🔹 Handrails: The moving rails passengers hold onto for balance.
🔹 Safety Sensors & Emergency Brakes: Protects passengers from potential accidents.
🔹 Step Rollers & Track: Ensures smooth movement of steps along the track.

  • Typical Speed: 0.3 - 0.75 meters per second (approximately 1 - 2.5 feet per second).
  • Speed for Moving Walkways: Usually around 0.25 m/s (0.8 ft/s).
  • Elevator-speed settings can be adjusted based on traffic flow needs.

💡 Escalator speeds can vary depending on the location (e.g., airports may have faster-moving escalators).

✔ Emergency Stop Button: Allows users or staff to stop the escalator in case of emergency.
✔ Anti-Skid Steps: Ensures safe footing and prevents slipping.
✔ Safety Brushes & Guards: Protects passengers from getting caught between the steps and sidewalls.
✔ Handrail Synchronization: Ensures the handrails move at the same speed as the steps for balance.
✔ Speed Control: Adjusts the speed depending on traffic.
✔ Overload Protection: Stops the escalator in case of excessive load or blockage.
