Escalators are commonly found in shopping malls, airports, and subway stations to help people easily navigate large crowds. They can also be used in office buildings, hotels, and other public spaces to help people move between floors more efficiently.
The escalator is driven by an electrical control system that drives the drive elements to move the steps and handrails, allowing passengers to ride from the bottom up or from top to bottom while standing on the steps and holding the handrail.
The nominal width of the escalator steps and the nominal speed of the escalator determine the maximum conveying capacity of the escalator. When using a shopping cart or luggage trolley, the conveying capacity is reduced by about 80%.
