Handrail Components
The handrail is an important safety feature of an escalator or moving walkway, providing a handhold for passengers to hold onto as they ride the moving stairs or pallets.
The handrail runs along the entire length of the escalator or moving walkway and is typically made of durable materials like rubber or polymer. It is driven by a motor that rotates the handrail around a set of rollers, which allows passengers to hold onto it as they move along the escalator or moving walkway.
Proper maintenance and cleaning of the handrail are important to ensure its safety and reliability. Over time, the handrail can become dirty or worn, which can make it more difficult for passengers to grip. Regular cleaning and replacement of the handrail can help to ensure its safety and prolong its lifespan.
Additionally, safety features like handrail speed monitoring and emergency stop buttons are often incorporated into escalator and moving walkway systems to help ensure passenger safety. In the event of an emergency, passengers can quickly and easily stop the handrail by pressing the emergency stop button or activating an emergency brake.
