ESCALATORS

DEFINITION :

Escalator is a moving staircase - a conveyor transport device for carrying people between floors of a building. The device consists of a motor-driven chain of individual, linked steps that move up or down on tracks.

FUNCTION :

• Escalators are used around the world to move pedestrian traffic in places where elevators would be impractical.

• Principal areas of usage include department stores, shopping malls, airports, transit systems, convention centers, hotels, arenas, stadiums and public buildings.

ADVANTAGES: DISADVANTAGES:

• A moving staircase used to carry people from one floor of a building to another.

• Can be placed in the same physical space as one might install a staircase.

• Escalators are quite convenient due to the fact that they are quite safe in case of a emergency.

• On top of that a escalator can transport a large amount of people at the same time.

• Can always walk up on one side to get to the top faster if you want.

• Escalator takes up more space because it is built in a incline which stretches out a certain length depending on how high it needs to reach.

• It is not safe to take a stroller, walker or even a cart on an escalator.

• Crisscross @ cross-over (silang-menyilang)

• Parallel (selari)• Multiple parallel

(selari berbilang)

• Single unit.

LAYOUTS OF AN

ESCALATOR :

CRISSCROSS

• Minimizes structural space requirements by "stacking“.

• Escalators that go in one direction.

• Frequently used in department stores or shopping centers.

PARALLEL

• Up and down escalators “side by side or separated by a distance”.

• Seen often in metro stations and multilevel motion picture theaters.

MULTIPLE PARALLEL

• Two or more escalators together that travel in one direction next to one or two escalators in the same bank that travel in the other direction.

SINGLE UNIT • To connect the two floors. • Suitable for traffic moving in

one direction. • Flexible adjustment of the

traffic flow (eg : flow in the morning & evening).

THE USERS SAFETY PROCEDURE IN

HANDLING ESCALATORS

When entering escalators:Watch the direction of the moving step and step on and off with extra care•Take care if you are wearing bifocals or similar eyewear•Hold children firmly with one arm or hold child's free hand•Hold small packages firmly in one hand, but always leave one hand available to hold the handrail•Grasp the handle as you step onto the moving step•Do not step onto an escalator going in the opposite direction•Do not take wheelchairs, electric scooters, strollers, hand carts, luggage carts or similar items on the escalator

When riding escalators:Keep loose clothing clear of steps and sides•Wear closed-toed and hard-soled shoes, and avoid wearing footwear made of soft-resin or other rubbery materials•Stand clear of the sides of the escalator•Face forward and keep firm grip on the handrail•Reposition your hand slowly if the handrail moves ahead or behind the steps•Don't climb onto or ride the handrail•Do not let children sit on steps or stand too close to sides

When exiting escalators:Don't hesitate and step off promptlyMake sure to step over the comb fingers; don't let your feet slide off the end of the escalatorImmediately move clear of the escalator exit area; don't stop to talk or look around since other passengers may be behind you

FUNCTION OF ELEVATORO An elevator is a vertical transport equipment that

moves people or goods between floors of a building, other structure. Elevators are generally powered by electric motors that either drive traction cables or counterweight systems like a hoist, or pump hydraulic fluid to raise a cylindrical piston like a jack.

ADVANTAGES OF ELEVATOR

O Easier for consumer to use it at office, hospital, shopping mall and etc.

O Provide comfortable to consumers.O Can carry heavy things.O Useful for emergency which is lift for fire extinguisher is

provided.O For business interests that require a lot of customers.

DISADVANTAGES OF ELEVATOR

O Elevators require frequent maintenanceO high cost of energy to operate the elevator, the

cost of the equipmentO risk of contamination from a hydraulic fluid spill

from the hydraulic tank and the noise and slow operating speeds.

THE SAFETY PROCEDURE AND BEST PRACTICES IN HANDLING

ELEVATOR(LIFTS)

Elevator Safety Tips 

When waiting for elevators:

O Know your destination

O Push the elevator call button once

for the direction you want to go in

O Look and listen for the signal

announcing your car's arrival

O Be aware of health conditions that

could contribute to falls or

accidents

O Stand clear of the elevator doors

and stand aside for exiting

passengers

O If the arriving car is full, wait for

the next car

O Don't attempt to maneuver in or

stop closing doors, wait for the

next car

O In the event of a fire or other

situation that could lead to a

disruption in electrical services,

take the stairs.

When boarding elevators:O Allow passengers exiting the

elevator to clear before boardingO Watch your step - the elevator car

may not be perfectly level with the floor

O Stand clear of the doors - keep clothes and carry- ons away from the openingO Hold children and pets firmly

O Passengers nearest to the doors should move first when the car arrives

O Push and hold the DOOR OPEN button if doors need to be held open, or ask someone to push the button for youO Never try to stop a closing door,

wait for the next carO Once on board, quickly press the button for your floor (not required on destination dispatch elevators) and move to the back of the car to make room for other passengers

When riding elevators:•Hold the handrail, if available•Stand next to the elevator wall, if available•Pay attention to the floor indications and announcements when provided•If the doors do not open when the elevator stops, push the DOOR OPEN button.

When exiting elevators:•Exit immediately at your floor. Do not wait for others behind you•Do not push the people in front of you when exiting•Watch your step - the elevator car may not be perfectly level with the floor•In the event of an elevator emergency:•If the elevator should ever stop between floors, do not panic, there is plenty of air in the elevator•Never climb out of a stalled elevator•Use the ALARM or HELP button, the telephone or the intercom to call for assistance•Above all, wait for qualified help to arrive and never try to leave an elevator that has not stopped normally•Emergency lighting will come on in the event of a power failure
