WHAT’S IN A NAME?
PUBLIC SECTOR
Transporting large numbers of people
efficiently is the top priority in public
transportation.
TYPES OF ESCALATORS
STEP TYPE ESCALATOR- The steps are usually metal, but very old step type
escalators had wooden steps. Step type escalators can also go up/down, flat, then
up/down again.
BELT ESCLATOR -You stand on a flat belt. This type of escalator probably doesn't
exist anywhere, anymore.
CLEAT ESCALATOR -The cleat type escalator had cleated metal, later wood treads,
that are slanted. Some types of cleat type escalator look more like a belt, not an
escalator. This type of escalator is not known to exist anywhere, anymore.
SPIRAL ESCALATOR -There is also the spiral escalator, which uses curved steps,
only manufactured by Mitsubishi since 1985.
LEVYTATOR- The Levytator is a new type of escalator, the freeform escalator, that
can curve multiple times, in either direction. There are 2 escalators, which share a
continuous loop of steps. The 2 escalators can curve differently. A working prototype
has been built,

SINGLE UNIT
The single unit is used to connect two levels. It is suitable for
buildings with passenger traffic flowing mainly in one direction.
Flexible adjustment to traffic flow (e.g., up in the morning and
down in the evening) is possible.
CONTINUOUS ARRANGEMENT (ONE –WAY TRAFFIC)
This arrangement is used mainly in smaller department stores to
link three sales levels. It requires more space than the
interrupted arrangement.
INTERRUPTED ARRANGEMENT (ONE-WAY TRAFFIC)
While relatively inconvenient for the user, for the
owner of the department store it provides the advantage that
due to the spatial separation of the upward and downward
directions, customers have to walk past specially placed
merchandise displays.
PARALLEL INTERRUPTED ARRANGEMENT (TWO WAY TRAFFIC)
This arrangement is used mainly in department stores
and public transportation buildings with heavy traffic volumes.
When there are three or more escalators or moving walks, it
should be possible to reverse the direction of travel depending
on the traffic flow.
CRISSCROSS CONTINUOS ARRANGEMENT (TWO WAY
TRAFFIC)
This type of installation is the one used most
frequently as it allows customers to travel quickly to the
upper floors without any waiting time. Depending on how the
escalators are positioned, the store fitter can open up the
view onto the shop floor to stimulate customer interest in
the goods on display.
PROPER INCLINATION
30° inclination
This inclination provides the highest traveling comfort and maximum safety
for the user.
35° inclination
The 35° escalator is the most efficient solution as it requires less space
and can be implemented more cost-effectively. However, this inclination is
perceived as too steep if rises exceed 5 m – particularly in downward travel.
OPTIMAL SPEED
0.5 m/s for continuous customer flow
This is the optimal speed for all escalators in the commercial sector. The
combination of sufficient transportation capacity, optimal safety and minimum space
requirement makes this speed the worldwide standard for this application.
0.6 or 0.65 m/s for intermittent transportation requirements
This speed is recommended for intermittent passenger arrivals, as at railway stations
or subway stations. It has also proved effective at trade fair centers. Longer
horizontal runs and larger transition curves are required at these speeds to guarantee
optimal safety and loading factor of the escalator/ moving walk.
0.75 m/s for extreme transportation capacity
Although speeds up to 0.75 m/s (escalators) are possible, they are not
recommended as the effective transportation capacity will not increase any further and
there is an increased danger of children or elderly people tripping or falling in the
landing areas.
DETAILED PLANNING
OPTIMAL STEP, PALLET & RUBBER
BAND WIDTH
Escalators are available with step widths of
600, 800 and 1000 mm. The most
popular step width is 1000 mm. This step
width gives the user unimpeded access to
the step band, even with baggage and
shopping bags. The other two step widths
are used mainly for less frequented units
or where space is restricted.
