Escalators are staircase-shaped movable vertical transport vehicles that move people between the floors of a building. Belts are moving horizontal transport vehicles which carry people between two different places in the same plane. Both are capable of carrying a large number of people at the same time.
Escalators are built in large shopping malls, airports, stations, almost everywhere crowded groups have to use stairs. In this system, the moving ladder steps move up or down fixedly to each other, but these steps move on a belt driven by the motor. The steps are in a continuous cycle.
Safety is the major concern in the design of escalators and belts. The only way to ensure safety is to ensure that periodic checks and inspections are not interrupted. Escalators and bands play a very important role in transporting large numbers of people.
Planning the escalators and ensuring that they work correctly in shopping malls, exhibition centers, shops, movie theaters and public transportation facilities is very important for the safety of people.
These vehicles have high load capacity and facilitate the flow of passengers. In order to achieve efficiency, the design must take into account the way the building is used, heavy traffic times, people's turnover between floors, and the comfort required during transport.
The standards that are taken as basis in the control and inspection works carried out by the competent authorities are as follows:
TS EN ISO 14798 Lifts, escalators and escalators - Risk assessment and risk reduction
TS EN 13015 + A1 Maintenance of lifts and escalators - Rules for maintenance instructions
TS EN 115 Safety for escalators and escalators
TS EN 12385 Steel wire ropes - Safety
TS 13561 Authorized services - For control panels or control cards for elevators, escalators and moving escalators - Rules
