Introduction to Escalator

Definition

Escalator:

An escalator is a stationary electric drive device with a circular motion ladder path that tilts up or down to transport passengers. Intuitively, it looks like a moving staircase with a moving handrail.

Moving Walk:

Moving walks are stationary, electrically driven devices with circular motion walkways that transport passengers horizontally or slopingly.

Tilt Angle

The angle of inclination (α) is the maximum angle between the running direction of the step or pedal and the horizontal plane.

The standard inclination of escalators is 27.3, 30 or 35 degrees, while moving walks are ≤ 12 degrees.

35° is only used when the lifting height is ≤ 6m and the speed is ≤ 0.5m/s.

Lifting Height / Installation Length

Lifting height: the vertical distance between the two floors where the escalator is installed

Installation length: determined by lift height and inclination

Shipping Size

Shipping dimensions refer to the length, height and width of the escalator lying flat on the ground.
