Escalators are vital in modern transportation and commercial buildings, ensuring smooth and continuous vertical mobility. Whether in airports, shopping malls, metro stations, or hospitals, escalators improve traffic flow and accessibility. This guide provides in-depth knowledge about escalator components, types, installation, safety standards, and maintenance.
An escalator is a continuously moving staircase that transports passengers between floors. Unlike elevators, escalators handle high passenger volumes efficiently without waiting times, making them ideal for public spaces with constant foot traffic.
Escalators were first introduced in the late 19th century as a practical solution for moving people quickly between levels. Over time, technological improvements have enhanced safety, energy efficiency, and design flexibility.
When a passenger steps on, the motor drives the step chain, moving steps along guide rails. The handrail moves at the same speed, ensuring stability. Safety systems monitor performance and stop the escalator when hazards are detected.
Professional installation includes structural preparation, setting up truss sections, aligning mechanical parts, electrical wiring, testing, and certification. Lion Escalator offers full installation services in accordance with global standards.
Routine maintenance ensures safety and longevity. This includes cleaning, lubrication, mechanical checks, and replacing worn parts. Lion Elevator provides certified service teams across Iran, Oman, UAE, and Iraq.
