Passenger flow
Describe expected traffic, travel direction and how the system connects with circulation routes in the building.
High-traffic inclined and horizontal transport
Escalators and moving walkways
Escalator and moving-walk systems engineered for malls, metros, airports, hospitals, business centers and pedestrian crossings.
- 30° / 35° incline
- Glass / stainless balustrade
- Outdoor selection
Project planning
Plan escalators and moving walkways around passenger flow
Escalators and moving walkways must suit passenger flow, building geometry and the intended use. AKE reviews the project country and site information before system selection and supply scope are defined.
Details for technical assessment
Installation conditions
Share rise, inclination, available length and width, and any known structural constraints at the proposed location.
Project context
State the country, building type, indoor or outdoor environment, project stage and requested assessment scope.
Frequently asked questions
What information is needed for an escalator assessment?
Building type, passenger flow, rise, available dimensions, operating environment and project stage provide the starting information.
When should a moving walkway be considered?
That depends on route geometry, inclination, movement needs and the building concept, so the project conditions must be reviewed.
How is the appropriate configuration selected?
AKE reviews the intended use, installation conditions and requested scope. The configuration is then developed for the specific project.
Technical basis for escalator projects
30° / 35°incline angle
Glass / steelbalustrade selection
CEcompliance framework
Transport systems engineered for high-traffic use
AKE escalators and moving walkways are planned by calculating building traffic, load capacity, unit rise, travel distance and incline angle together. Outdoor applications are evaluated with durable corrosion-resistant materials, glass or stainless-steel balustrade options and after-sales support.

Escalator and moving-walk questions
Where are these systems used?
They are evaluated for high-traffic spaces such as malls, business and event centers, airports, metros, hospitals and pedestrian crossings.
How are project dimensions defined?
Unit rise, travel distance, building traffic, load capacity and standard 30 or 35 degree incline angles are calculated together.
Are outdoor applications supported?
Yes. Durable corrosion-resistant materials and suitable balustrade options are evaluated for outdoor use.
