Escalators - Lift.co.uk

Buying an Escalator from you saved us a fortune!
Carl – Plymouth

There are essentially three types of Escalators: light duty, heavy duty and Travelators (also known as walkways).

Heavy Duty Escalators: For heavy foot traffic. They are strong and durable to weather the necessary wear and tear from thousands or millions of pairs of feet every day of the year, year after year. Examples of suitable applications are bus, tube, train stations and airport terminals.

Light Duty Escalators: Found in shopping centres, large banks, department stores, cinemas, restaurants and museums.

Travelators: Found in large supermarkets with upper floors. They are also supplied for airport terminals, easing the lot of travellers burdened with trolleys and luggage. Travelators can be inclined (for example, in certain supermarkets chains) to take people up and down upper levels without performing a climbing motion.

Travelators installed in airport terminals tend to be horizontally installed. They can be simply stood on while being transported forwards, or one can walk along as one would on a pavement, with luggage in tow.
