Escalators & Moving Walks

Continuous movement for high traffic spaces.

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.

Key Features

Safety systems that never switch off.

Escalators carry children, elderly passengers and loaded trolleys. Protection is layered.

Modular Step Band

Individual steps can be removed and replaced without stripping the whole unit, cutting downtime.

Comb Plate Protection

Sensors stop the unit instantly if an object jams at the comb plate at either landing.

Handrail Sync

Speed monitoring keeps the handrail matched to the steps, and stops the unit if it drifts.

Energy Saving Mode

Sensors slow or stop the unit when nobody is approaching, then resume instantly on detection.

Emergency Stop

Clearly marked stop buttons at both landings, plus automatic braking on any fault condition.

Indoor & Semi Outdoor

Weather resistant builds for mall entrances and transit stations exposed to dust and rain.

How We Work

From traffic study to handover.

Escalator projects start with how many people move, and when.

01

Traffic Study

We assess footfall, peak hours and direction of flow to size and position each unit.

02

Design & Quote

Rise, incline, step width, balustrade type and finishes confirmed in an itemised quote.

03

Manufacture

Truss, step band and drive assembled and factory tested before shipment.

04

Installation

Truss lifted into place, aligned and commissioned, then load and safety tested on site.

05

Maintenance

Monthly servicing for heavy use sites, with genuine step and chain replacements.

Applications

Where they earn their keep.

Shopping Malls

Keeps shoppers circulating between floors without bottlenecks at the lift lobby.

Metro & Transit

Handles surge crowds when a train arrives, then idles to save energy between services.

Airports

Moving walks cover long concourse distances for passengers carrying luggage.

Exhibition Halls

Moves large volumes of visitors between levels during events and trade shows.
