Escalators

Escalators are a vital part of vertical transportation in public spaces, designed to efficiently move large numbers of people between floors or levels. Based on their design, usage, and the environments where they are installed, escalators can be classified into different types. Here’s a breakdown of the primary types of escalators we provide.

Parallel Escalators

Parallel escalators are two or more escalators placed side-by-side, with one typically moving upwards and the other downwards. This setup allows for continuous and easy traffic flow in both directions.

Crisscross Escalators

Crisscross escalators are installed in a zigzag arrangement, meaning one escalator is stacked above or beside another. People can move up or down by alternating between escalators without walking across a large area.

Spiral Escalators

Spiral or curved escalators feature a gradual curve, designed to move people between levels with a twist or arc rather than a straight line. These escalators are usually custom-made and provide a unique aesthetic

Moving Walkways

Unlike traditional escalators, moving walkways are flat conveyor belt-style systems that transport people horizontally or at a slight incline. These are often referred to as “horizontal escalators.”

Outdoor Escalators

Outdoor escalators are designed to function in open spaces, exposed to various weather conditions. These escalators are weatherproofed with specialized materials to resist rain, extreme temperatures, and other environmental factors.

These escalators are specially designed for public transportation hubs, such as subways and metro stations. They are built to handle extreme foot traffic and extended hours of operation.
