Modular Step Band
Individual steps can be removed and replaced without stripping the whole unit, cutting downtime.
When hundreds of people need to change floors at once, a lift queue is the wrong answer. Escalators and moving walks keep crowds flowing without anybody waiting.
Escalators and moving walks in malls, transit stations and airports, plus the step and handrail detail that takes the daily wear. Tap any image to view it full size.

Escalators carry children, elderly passengers and loaded trolleys. Protection is layered.
Individual steps can be removed and replaced without stripping the whole unit, cutting downtime.
Sensors stop the unit instantly if an object jams at the comb plate at either landing.
Speed monitoring keeps the handrail matched to the steps, and stops the unit if it drifts.
Sensors slow or stop the unit when nobody is approaching, then resume instantly on detection.
Clearly marked stop buttons at both landings, plus automatic braking on any fault condition.
Weather resistant builds for mall entrances and transit stations exposed to dust and rain.
Escalator projects start with how many people move, and when.
We assess footfall, peak hours and direction of flow to size and position each unit.
Rise, incline, step width, balustrade type and finishes confirmed in an itemised quote.
Truss, step band and drive assembled and factory tested before shipment.
Truss lifted into place, aligned and commissioned, then load and safety tested on site.
Monthly servicing for heavy use sites, with genuine step and chain replacements.
