The escalator floor plate is the platform surface of the two landings installed next to the comb plate, which is used as escalator and moving walk machine room cover.

The floor plate is made of stainless steel or extruded aluminum according to the installation environment and use of the project. In order to have greater resistance, it will be installed on the metal chassis.

The standard guidelines for escalators and moving walk floor plates are as follows:

1.The floor plate must be made of imperforated plates.

2.If the floor plate has two or more sections, a safety device must be provided for the first plate and the other plate must be designed in a way that they cannot be opened or removed until the first plate is opened. If they can all be opened in any order, we must install a safety device for each plate.

3.Since the authorized person can enter inside the machinery, the floor plate must be opened from the inside and no locks must be considered. 

4.The floor plate is considered as an inspection cover in escalators and moving walks and other inspection covers (e.g. outside cladding and balustrade) must follow the conditions stated above. 

Note: The maximum deflection of the escalator and moving walk comb plate and floor plate under a rated load of 5000 N/m2 must not exceed 4 millimeters.
