INTRODUCTION
An Escalator is a moving staircase
The device consists of a motor-driven
Escalators allowing the step treads to remain
horizontal.

INTRODUCTION(cont.)
Escalators are used around the world to move
pedestrian traffic
Escalators can be placed in the same physical
space as one might install a staircase

ESCALATOR

HISTORY OF ESCALATORS
Nathan Ames invented the first escalator in
1859.
in 1889, that the first successful patent for the
escalator was granted
The first commercial escalator developed by
Seeberger and the Otis Elevator Company

MODEL DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN TYPE

"Cleat-type" escalators
"Step-type" escalators
Spiral escalators

"Cleat-type"

DESIGN

factors affecting escalator design are

physical requirements
Location
traffic patterns
safety considerations
aesthetic preferences

Components of
Escalators

The Manufacturing Process

The first stage of escalator construction is to establish the
design
Prior to installation, the landing areas must be prepared to
connect to the escalator.
Make final connections for the power source and check to
ensure all tracks and chains are properly aligned.
Verify all motorized elements are functioning properly, that
the belts and chains

Safety

Antislip devices
Comb teeth
Deflector brush
Emergency stop button
Flat steps

EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON AND

ALARM

STEP RISERS

COMP TEETH
DECK GUARDS

SAFETY BRUSH

Uses and Application

Department stores/shopping
Public transportation
Factories and other industrial
production environments
Military use

CONCLUSION
In modern automated world without
escalators,it is difficult for us
Several innovations are developed by different
companies such as carrying wheels
