Crossing Escalator arrangements provide the most efficient and continuous movement of people by separating each direction of travel into an individual uninterrupted path. Crisscrossing escalators should be considered when space planning and productivity are critical design objectives.
Escalators are mechanical devices used for transporting people vertically between different levels of buildings. Typically, they take the form of a moving staircase, consisting of a 'chain' of single-piece aluminium or stainless steel steps guided by a system of tracks in a continuous loop.
An escalator is a moving staircase for transporting people between ˛oors of a building. It is generally agreed that an escalator is the most ef˜cient means to move large numbers of people between ˛oors.
An escalator is a moving staircase for transporting people between floors of a building. It is generally agreed that an escalator is the most efficient way to move large numbers of people between floors. Escalators are needed for moving people reliably, comfortably and safely from one floor to another.
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.
Optimal planning and preparation of on-site transportation and the moving of the escalator/ moving walk into the building are essential for ensuring the best possible installation sequence and thereby minimizing building costs. Escalators/ moving walks are entirely preassembled at the factory.
