Arrangements
The arrangement is a circulation decision, not an equipment one. It gets fixed at architectural stage, because it determines every floor opening above the ground level.
Escalator specialists
An escalator is judged on grit and step-track cleaning as much as on the truss that carries it, and most of the breakdowns we attend trace back to maintenance discipline rather than equipment failure. We have craned trusses into malls, transit-adjacent commercial buildings and exhibition halls across the NCR, testing comb switches, chain tension and handrail guards on a schedule rather than a checklist ticked from memory. For buildings where a stopped escalator is a crowd problem, that is the standard we run every service visit to.
Safety
Escalator safety is a chain of independent trips. Any one of them removes power and sets the brake. These are the devices we test at every service visit.
If anything jams between the comb teeth and the step, the comb plate moves and the unit stops before the obstruction is dragged under.
Detects a step that has dropped out of line. This trips before the damaged step can reach the comb plate.
A soft guard at the point where the handrail re-enters the balustrade, with a switch behind it. The most common injury point on any escalator.
Watches the tension carriage. Chain elongation or breakage trips the unit and the brake holds the incline.
If the unit exceeds rated speed or an up-running escalator starts drifting down under load, power is cut immediately.
One at each landing, within reach of the public. They stop the unit but do not restart it — a restart requires a keyed reset by a technician.
Where they go
Alongside
Equipment is half the decision. These are the parts of the lifecycle we cover for it.
Round-the-clock response — a stopped escalator in a mall is a crowd problem.
OpenCommon questions
A 30° escalator needs roughly 1.73 m of horizontal run for every 1 m of rise, plus about 2.5 m of landing plate at each end. For a typical 4 m floor-to-floor rise that is close to 12 m of total length. The structural opening has to be agreed before the slab is cast.
Yes, but it is a structural project, not an equipment one. The truss is craned in as a single piece, so access route and floor opening are the real constraints. We survey both before quoting.
Public-service units, for metro and airport duty, are built to a heavier standard: stronger step chains, larger drives and continuous-duty ratings. A commercial unit in that duty will wear out early.
Monthly as a minimum for retail duty, and more often in dusty or high-footfall locations. Step track cleaning and chain tension checks are the two items that most affect life.
Yes. Inclined travelators for trolley traffic and horizontal units for long concourses are quoted from the same survey.
Send the floor-to-floor rise, the intended footfall and the proposed opening. We will confirm the arrangement, step width and structural requirement in writing.
