Engineering notes
Specified for the flow, not the drawing
Escalator specification starts with the passenger flow: how many people per hour, in which direction, and at what peak. Step width and inclination follow from that, together with the number of units and their arrangement.
A pair of 1,000 mm escalators handles roughly 8,000 persons per hour in one direction; 600 mm units suit low-rise retail where space is tight. We calculate the requirement and recommend accordingly rather than defaulting to the widest unit.
Energy where it matters
VVVF drive with automatic slow-down and standstill is standard: when no passenger is detected, the escalator decelerates to 0.2 m/s or stops, cutting energy use in low-traffic periods by up to 60% while remaining ready to start instantly.
For transit applications where continuous operation is required, the unit can run at full speed permanently with an energy-efficient machine and optional regenerative braking.

Values shown are typical for the standard configuration. Final data are confirmed on the approved layout drawing for each project.
Safety and finishes
Safety features include non-slip steps with demarcated edges, skirt guard brushes and deflectors, handrail speed monitoring, comb-plate trip detection and emergency stop at both landings.
Balustrades can be tempered glass or stainless steel, with indoor and outdoor specifications, and the truss is finished for the environment — from painted steel for a shopping mall to hot-dip galvanised for an exposed transit entrance.

Questions
About this model
35° saves about 10% of the horizontal run but is less comfortable and not permitted in some public applications. For retail and transit we usually recommend 30° unless space dictates otherwise.
Yes, with an outdoor specification: galvanised truss, IP-rated electricals, drainage, heated handrail option for cold climates and UV-stable balustrades.
Step chain and handrail inspection, lubrication and brake testing at defined intervals, plus cleaning of the truss and comb plates. We supply a wear-part kit and a schedule keyed to running hours.
