4 21I. OVERVIEW.What type do you need?

ThyssenKrupp Escalators.The escalator or moving walk model you select,will reflect your concept and your individual style.The model you finally select will depend on thecapacity requirements of the escalators andmoving walks, the location of your installation inparticular, the type of weather that it must with-stand and the required performance.On the following pages, we provide an overviewof our products to help you identify the right typefor your requirements.

1. Which escalator or moving walk to use? When?

We distinguish between escalators and movingwalks for commercial centres and traffic installa-tions. Due to the wide range of our models, we can adapt to most requirements. We are able to supply five different models. Discover the one for you!

With or without Internet connection?Many ThyssenKrupp escalators and movingwalks are already e-service capable. That means the system data can be accessed via the Internet. All XTRA models and all TUGELA’s and VICTORIA’s are fitted ex-works with an innovativeInternet interface. By using new image transfertechnologies these escalators and moving walkswill even be remote-controllable (e-monitoring).

But whichever model you may prefer – your decision is always for the proverbial quality“Made by ThyssenKrupp”.

VI. Installation.Is it in the right operation position?

Velino.Two models, one distinction: More design for modern buildings. New lighting feature under the handrail, reinforced profile or plain. All models combine attractive design with the latest escalator technology– for increased comfort and safety.Standard model: VelinoBasePremium model: VelinoXtra

Tugela.Never have traffic escalators looked so good. Whether with glass or metalbalustrade, the Tugela models are made to direct the traffic of tomorrow.Economical, robust, and with boasting technical features.

Towards the end of our basics of planning, one is confront-ed with the installation of the escalators and moving walks:On the following pages we provide you with informationabout the most important site precautions which will assistus in installating your escalator system in an effective manner.

1. Preparations.You inform us of your model requirements, travel heightand angle of inclination as well as the location of the escalators. Our engineers then design your escalator.

2. Confirmation of the main dimensions.ThyssenKrupp will send you a planning sketch or an instal-lation drawing of your installation. Please check whetherthe dimensions of the escalators or moving walks complywith the dimensions of your building. Please confirm thison the planning sketch or on the installation drawing. In addition, our installation team will verify and discuss the access with you.

The more we know about your building themore precise the planning. The ceiling openings and support loads are determinedin accordance with your information.

Every escalator is manufactured separatelyaccording to your individual requirements:That is why confirmation of the main dimen-sions is absolutely essential!

3. Final installation.The escalators and moving walks are unloaded from thetransport vehicle by crane or by forklift truck and placed onheavy-duty rollers. Then, we transport your escalator ormoving walk through the building. For installation purpos-es, lifting eyes are attached to the support angles of theescalator.

Depending on the type of building and the type of escalatoror moving walk there are several possibilities available forthe final installation:

Normally, holes with a 100 mm diameter will have beenmade through the ceiling, according to our instructions.These are used by our installation team for fixing the liftinggear. This way your escalator or moving walk is simply lift-ed upwards from floor to floor! The load strain of everypick-up point during assembly must be at least 25 kN.

Optional: Installation with a frame. If no assembly holes can be pro-vided the escalators and moving walks are lifted to theirfinal location by means of an especially sturdy girder con-struction. In this case, ceiling load strain must take at least25 kN.

Optional:Crane assembly. Where a suitable roof opening is availableor the site is located outdoor we lift your escalator or moving walk by crane and place it on the supports provid-ed. The customer is responsible for ensuring for all localauthority approvals.

Attachment of the cable winches

to the holes are prepared at the site

Our product brochures provideyou with extensive information

about our escalator and moving walk range!

ThyssenKrupp Moving Walks.

9. Electrical connection.Our diagram shows where escalators and moving walksare connected to the power supply. Please note that electrical cables are inserted at a distance of 450 mm onthe side of the support and that the length of the cable onthe inside of the escalator must be about 1500 mm!With complex controls, such as those usually required forescalators and moving walks in traffic installations, thecontrol equipment should be installed in a separate room.The supply cable is then installed in this control room. In case of additional of soffit lightings a separate powersupply must be considered in time. The power connectionmust be provided by an authorised electrical-engineerassigned by you.

10. Sprinkler piping.An optional safety feature is the installation of a sprinklerpiping within the escalator or moving walk.

11. Oil separator.A type-proofed oil separator is essential for escalators and moving walks which are exposed to the weather.ThyssenKrupp supplies (optional) the oil separator in thelower reversal station. At the construction site a recessmust be provided for the oil separator in the escalator pit.

12. Railings by others.In the threshold areas of the escalators, railings have to beinstalled by others. The distance to the escalator handrailhas to be at least 80 mm.For adjacent escalators, the distance between the edges ofthe handrails must be at least 120 mm.

Top section of escalator with elec-trical connections. Alternative front facing electrical con-nection is possible.

2. Travel speeds and transport capacities.

Escalators and moving walks can continuously move passengers. Consequently, their transport capacity is much greater than that of lifts.Travel speeds of 0.5 to 0.65 m/s are recommended internationally.The maximum permissible speed of 0.75 m/s is only sensible for escalators with a considerable travel height.For moving walks the same speeds apply. Exception: For a horizontal moving walk, the speed can be increased up to 0.9 m/s.

For example, passengers tend to be hesitant at higher speeds whenstepping on to the step or pallet band. Even with larger step or palletwidths, the possibility to pass is not always utilized. Even so, higherspeeds and wider steps or pallets, ensure travel comfort and a considerable reduction of travel time.

EN 115: 2008 - for traffic flow planning the capacity of escalators andmoving walks has been defined as illustrated in the diagram.

3. Inclinations and travel heights.

Even with a rise of only 1.40 m, an escalator can considerably ease visitoraccess to the building.

Traffic installations:The most common travel heights of traffic installations are between 4 and10 m. The most common angles of inclination for this are 27.3° and 30°.At 27.3°, the escalators are normally parallel to the fixed staircases inpublic traffic installations.

Commercial centres escalators:For escalators in commercial centres, experience has shown that a 30°angle of inclination ensures optimum utilization of the space available andmaximum ease of use. For a rise up to 6 m a 35° angle of inclination isavailable (EN 115 only).

Persons/hour

Travel speed (m/s)

However, even with larger travel heights, our engineers always find their way up:

The 75 metre mark has already been achieved!

5. Ceiling openings.We will notify you of the location and size of the requiredceiling openings on the installation drawing. You mustsupervise the precise implementation of these.

6. Top and bottom supports.When you design the support recess please take the support loads into account. They are shown on the installation drawing, i.e. at those locations where the supports of your escalator (or your moving walk) will beplaced, the statics must be able to bear the weight of the escalator including 5 kN/sq.m. traffic load.When preparing the supporting structures the measure-ments indicated on our installation plans must be preciselyadhered to.

7. Intermediate supports.Intermediate supports are needed on escalators with a considerable travel height and on long moving walks. We will inform you in our installation plan of the location of the intermediate supports as you have to include theadditional required space in your construction plan.

8. Pick-up points by others.You will be responsible for fitting pick-up points for hosting and supporting the escalator during assembly.These should be located exactly above the centre of thesupporting points. For systems with several supportingstructures please plan for additional pick-up points abovethe intermediate supports. All pick-up points must becapable of taking a load strain of min. 50 kN.

Side view through thesupport with all details.

Solid escalators have a corresponding dead weight. An escalator e.g. with a travel height of 4 m, at an

angle of 30°, weighs an impressive 6920 kg.Therefore please check that the floor of the building

will bear the transport weight of your escalator. Otherwise, you will need additional floor

support during the installation period.

V. Preparations by others.Everything is well prepared!

Moving walk:Inclined moving walks in shopping centres areallowed a maximum angle of 12°. For extendedtravel distance, e.g. trade fairs and airports, horizontal moving walks with wide pallets are especially sensible.

a - Short lower part: low space requirement at bottom levelb - Long lower part: highest ride comfort through convenient

entrance with shopping trolleyc - Short upper part: for economical space usage at upper leveld - Long upper part: Optimised for the use of shopping trolleys

4. Step and pallet widths.

An optimum choice needs to be made here: Neither excessively wide nor narrow steps or pallets represent a balanced ratio between the space required and the transportcapacity, between travel comfort and costs.Based on the cross-sections you can see the required space of your escalators and moving walks. A clearance of 30 mm for installation must be added to the dimensions on either side of the escalator or moving walk.

The EN115: 2008 revision for moving walks: The pallet width mustbe 400 mm wider than the width of shopping trolleys or baggagecarts. The trolleys or carts must fit to the ThyssenKrupp pallet.

Through wider steps or pallets, escalators and moving walk become noticeably more attractive.

5. Extended newels.

Optional extended newels optimise connections to ambientrailings in the upper and lower entrance areas.

6. Transition curves.

Depending on space availability and the number of horizontal runout steps, there is a choice of three transition curves for the upper entrance area. Two transition curves are available for the lower entrance area.

If you need to retrofit escalators or moving walks in

a building, our experts can provideyou with helpful hints!

1. Installation timing.To prevent damage to the escalator during the construction phase thetiming of installation and assembly should be as close as possible to theopening date. It should, however, proceed completion of the floor so as to dispense with the need to take further measures to protect floor coverings. Please ensure that the provisional floors along the transportroute in the building can comfortably cope with the load weight.

2. Transport to the assembly site.A suitable unloading area must be available in front of the building.The access routes to the building must be level and negotiable by heavy duty rollers. Along the entire transport route to the assembly site the free height must not be less than the minimum specified in the disposition plan (also goes for pipes and other attachments fitted by others to the ceiling structure). In your plan calculations allow for a 150 mm height of the transport rollers. The entrance width dependson the width of the conveyor, the length of the delivered units and, if present, the distance between supporting pillars in the building. In case of doubt, the entire transport route on location should be run through on a CAD program or scale paper model.

3. Access openings, transport route load capacity.Together with you, we agree on the best access possibility.- Normally, escalators are moved in through openings at the side

of the building at ground level.- Optionally, suitable roof openings should be provided, in order

to bring the escalators by crane.It is important that the route to the assembly location within the building is free of obstacles and level, and the ceiling can support a load of 40 kN.Otherwise the appropriate weight distribution must be catered to.

4. Special delivery.In order to deliver your system into the building and to assemble it ready for use in a time saving manner please pay attention to the follow-ing during the planning stage:

In some cases it is not possible to bring the complete escalator into thebuilding. In this case we dismantle the balustrades before delivering theescalator to you.

Some escalators are so long that they have to be installed in sections.In this case, we manufacture a split escalator.

Access opening about 3.5 x 3.5 metres.

8. Power supply.

Our escalators and moving walks operate world-wide to suit all power supplies and frequencies:

Please notify us in advance of the voltages andfrequencies in your building! Running and starting currents for your escalator system can be obtained from our slide rulers.

Upon stepping on to the escalator, a guard rail ensures that the light barrier is activated.

In this case a guard rails is not necessary. The radar sensor is able to monitor thedirections of the persons. The escalator will start only if somebody enters theentrance area.

7. Operating modes.

After rush-hour, escalators and moving walks donot need to operate at full power. You can saveenergy and reduce wear.

For this we recommend either intermittent operation: Through starting elements, e.g. radar sensors or light barriers at the landings, theescalator only starts to operate when peopleneed to be conveyed. When light barrier or radarsensors do not detect passenger entries, theescalator operates by means of a time relay untilthe last user has left the step band and the setfollow-up time has expired. Traffic light units indicate if the machine is operational as well asthe direction of travel.

Or ThyssenKrupp Energy Control for further passenger comfort: Using a frequency-voltageconverter the speed is reduced to 0.2 m/s. The slower stand-by service indicates to the passengers the function of the escalator as wellas the direction of travel. Upon passing through a light barrier, the escalator accelerates to the set speed.

10 15III. Safety manual.You can play it safe!

Where passengers are concerned, safety is of paramount importance. With the Motion Safety System, which unites all ThyssenKrupp safety innovations to a superior system, we comply with national and international safety requirements. And that’s not all: During the planning stage, standards and regulations must also be observed.On the following pages, we provide you with an overview and practical examples on how you can play it safe!

Theory.

Which standards, guidelines and building regulations need to be observed?

- EN 115 (European standard EN 115).The safety rules for construction and assembly of escalators and moving walks have applied throughout the EU since 1992.Outside the EU, also fufill other national rules.

- Machinery guideline (98/37/EG).The purpose of the machinery guideline is to assure free goods’ traffic for machines in the European Union.

- ANSI/CSA.In North America standards are published by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), resp. by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). These directives virtually tally those of EN 115.We always provide architects planning to install a continuous conveyor outside the EN-regulations area with information on the most important deviations.

- National standards and building regulations.

IV. Installation possibilities. Moving with the flow is easy!

Escalators and moving walks considerably increasethe appeal of commercial centres and traffic instal-lations by achieving - a similar frequency of people on all floors

and therefore an increase in turnover- guiding the flow of people and especially- ensuring travel comfort.

In recent years, they have actually been promotedto become a major design feature in modern archi-tecture. In fact, ThyssenKrupp has combined exem-plary functionality and aesthetics through designvarieties and numerous technical innovations.

In the following chapter, we present the most common installation possibilities. Using example-based information, we explain the special featuresthat must be taken into account from the construc-tion perspective.

ThyssenKrupp is the competent manu-facturer even for extravagant solutions.For example at the London UnderwritingCentre we have installed the world’s first free-suspended escalator system.

Practice.

Everything which is important.

1. EN 115 (European standard EN 115)also deals with step and pallet widths, inclinations and travel heights as well as travel speed with regard to operational safety.

The standard states,

- that the inclination of escalators should not exceed 35°.Exception: For a travel height of more than 6 m or a speed of more than 0.5 m/s, a maximum inclination of 30° is possible. According to ANSI/CSA inclinations exceeding 30° are normally not permissible.

- that the usual speed of moving walks is 0.5 or 0.65 m/s. The maximum speed is set at 0.75 m/s.Exception: The speed can be increased up to 0.9 m/s. Conditions:

- pallet width up to 1000 mm- long, horizontal run of pallets (1600 mm)

- that the current rated speeds of escalators are 0.5 resp. 0.65 m/s. The maximum permissible speed is set at 0.75 m/s.ANSI/CSA: The speed must not exceed 0.64 m/s.

- that, for moving walks, a maximum inclination of 12°,for pallet widths exceeding 1000 mm, a maximum inclination of 6° is permissible.

2. Horizontal steps.For travel heights up to 6 m, 2 horizontally guided steps (800 mm)must be provided. With larger travel heights, 3 horizontal steps(1200 mm) must be included in the design.ANSI/CSA: A minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 horizontally guidedsteps are requested!

3. Safety zone.Safety zone (free space in front of the escalator)must be included in the design of the landing areas.This must be equivalent to the distance beetweenthe outer edges of the handtrail “x”+ 160 mm andmust be at least 2500 mm in depth. Or double thedistance of “x”+160 mm and at least 2000 mm inlength. On moving walks, the safety zone must bedimensioned more generously, where luggage orshopping trolleys are transported.

According to the diagram, an infill

panel must be installed.

4. Safety distances and deflectors.EN 115: The lateral distance between the outsideedge of the handrail and fixed walls must be atleast 80 mm and a minimum of 2100 mm abovethe step or pallet band. The distance between the balustrade middle andbuilding must be at least 500 mm. Should the distance measure less than 500 mm ThyssenKrupp will fit additional deflectors of at least 300 mm toprevent people from becoming trapped.ANSI/CSA: A minimum distance of 102 mm mustbe maintained between handrail and neighbouringsurfaces.

5. Additional side balustrade.The use of railings or an additional side balustradeat a height of 1000 mm prevents people from getting on to the escalator or moving walk by stepping over the balustrades.

6. Infill panels.With adjacent escalators or moving walks, the maximum distance between the balustradescan be 120 mm. Infill panels are required with larger distances.

7. Skirt brushes.Skirt brushes are intended to prevent users from pressingtheir shoes against the skirt. To the extent that these are prescribed by national regulations or if requested by the customer, brushes are fitted to the skirt above the steps. An analysis of the dangers according to the machin-ery guideline have shown that skirt brushes raise the safetystandard of escalators.

8. Clearance height above steps.The clearance above the step or pallet band must be at least 2300 mm at every location.ANSI/CSA: A clearance of 2130 mm (resp. 7 feet) is specified.

9. Lighting.In order for passengers to step safely on to escalators or moving walks, the step or pallet band must be adequately lit. The required lightingmust be at least 50 Lux.

ThyssenKrupp additionally offers various lightingoptions. For example:

1. Above the balustrade,2. Integrated in the skirt band or3. Before the comb plates.

3. Safety zone.Safety zone (free space in front of the escalator)must be included in the design of the landing areas.This must be equivalent to the distance beetweenthe outer edges of the handtrail “x”+ 160 mm andmust be at least 2500 mm in depth. Or double thedistance of “x”+160 mm and at least 2000 mm inlength. On moving walks, the safety zone must bedimensioned more generously, where luggage orshopping trolleys are transported.

According to the diagram, an infill

panel must be installed.

4. Safety distances and deflectors.EN 115: The lateral distance between the outsideedge of the handrail and fixed walls must be atleast 80 mm and a minimum of 2100 mm abovethe step or pallet band. The distance between the balustrade middle andbuilding must be at least 500 mm. Should the distance measure less than 500 mm ThyssenKrupp will fit additional deflectors of at least 300 mm toprevent people from becoming trapped.ANSI/CSA: A minimum distance of 102 mm mustbe maintained between handrail and neighbouringsurfaces.

5. Additional side balustrade.The use of railings or an additional side balustradeat a height of 1000 mm prevents people from getting on to the escalator or moving walk by stepping over the balustrades.

6. Infill panels.With adjacent escalators or moving walks, the maximum distance between the balustradescan be 120 mm. Infill panels are required with larger distances.

7. Skirt brushes.Skirt brushes are intended to prevent users from pressingtheir shoes against the skirt. To the extent that these are prescribed by national regulations or if requested by the customer, brushes are fitted to the skirt above the steps. An analysis of the dangers according to the machin-ery guideline have shown that skirt brushes raise the safetystandard of escalators.

8. Clearance height above steps.The clearance above the step or pallet band must be at least 2300 mm at every location.ANSI/CSA: A clearance of 2130 mm (resp. 7 feet) is specified.

9. Lighting.In order for passengers to step safely on to escalators or moving walks, the step or pallet band must be adequately lit. The required lightingmust be at least 50 Lux.

ThyssenKrupp additionally offers various lightingoptions. For example:

1. Above the balustrade,2. Integrated in the skirt band or3. Before the comb plates.

Practice.

Everything which is important.

1. EN 115 (European standard EN 115)also deals with step and pallet widths, inclinations and travel heights as well as travel speed with regard to operational safety.

The standard states,

- that the inclination of escalators should not exceed 35°.Exception: For a travel height of more than 6 m or a speed of more than 0.5 m/s, a maximum inclination of 30° is possible. According to ANSI/CSA inclinations exceeding 30° are normally not permissible.

- that the usual speed of moving walks is 0.5 or 0.65 m/s. The maximum speed is set at 0.75 m/s.Exception: The speed can be increased up to 0.9 m/s. Conditions:

- pallet width up to 1000 mm- long, horizontal run of pallets (1600 mm)

- that the current rated speeds of escalators are 0.5 resp. 0.65 m/s. The maximum permissible speed is set at 0.75 m/s.ANSI/CSA: The speed must not exceed 0.64 m/s.

- that, for moving walks, a maximum inclination of 12°,for pallet widths exceeding 1000 mm, a maximum inclination of 6° is permissible.

2. Horizontal steps.For travel heights up to 6 m, 2 horizontally guided steps (800 mm)must be provided. With larger travel heights, 3 horizontal steps(1200 mm) must be included in the design.ANSI/CSA: A minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 horizontally guidedsteps are requested!

10 15III. Safety manual.You can play it safe!

Where passengers are concerned, safety is of paramount importance. With the Motion Safety System, which unites all ThyssenKrupp safety innovations to a superior system, we comply with national and international safety requirements. And that’s not all: During the planning stage, standards and regulations must also be observed.On the following pages, we provide you with an overview and practical examples on how you can play it safe!

Theory.

Which standards, guidelines and building regulations need to be observed?

- EN 115 (European standard EN 115).The safety rules for construction and assembly of escalators and moving walks have applied throughout the EU since 1992.Outside the EU, also fufill other national rules.

- Machinery guideline (98/37/EG).The purpose of the machinery guideline is to assure free goods’ traffic for machines in the European Union.

- ANSI/CSA.In North America standards are published by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), resp. by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). These directives virtually tally those of EN 115.We always provide architects planning to install a continuous conveyor outside the EN-regulations area with information on the most important deviations.

- National standards and building regulations.

IV. Installation possibilities. Moving with the flow is easy!

Escalators and moving walks considerably increasethe appeal of commercial centres and traffic instal-lations by achieving - a similar frequency of people on all floors

and therefore an increase in turnover- guiding the flow of people and especially- ensuring travel comfort.

In recent years, they have actually been promotedto become a major design feature in modern archi-tecture. In fact, ThyssenKrupp has combined exem-plary functionality and aesthetics through designvarieties and numerous technical innovations.

In the following chapter, we present the most common installation possibilities. Using example-based information, we explain the special featuresthat must be taken into account from the construc-tion perspective.

ThyssenKrupp is the competent manu-facturer even for extravagant solutions.For example at the London UnderwritingCentre we have installed the world’s first free-suspended escalator system.

8. Power supply.

Our escalators and moving walks operate world-wide to suit all power supplies and frequencies:

Please notify us in advance of the voltages andfrequencies in your building! Running and starting currents for your escalator system can be obtained from our slide rulers.

Upon stepping on to the escalator, a guard rail ensures that the light barrier is activated.

In this case a guard rails is not necessary. The radar sensor is able to monitor thedirections of the persons. The escalator will start only if somebody enters theentrance area.

7. Operating modes.

After rush-hour, escalators and moving walks donot need to operate at full power. You can saveenergy and reduce wear.

For this we recommend either intermittent operation: Through starting elements, e.g. radar sensors or light barriers at the landings, theescalator only starts to operate when peopleneed to be conveyed. When light barrier or radarsensors do not detect passenger entries, theescalator operates by means of a time relay untilthe last user has left the step band and the setfollow-up time has expired. Traffic light units indicate if the machine is operational as well asthe direction of travel.

Or ThyssenKrupp Energy Control for further passenger comfort: Using a frequency-voltageconverter the speed is reduced to 0.2 m/s. The slower stand-by service indicates to the passengers the function of the escalator as wellas the direction of travel. Upon passing through a light barrier, the escalator accelerates to the set speed.

Special arrangements ofmoving walks.

Inclined moving walk in parallel.

The arrows indicate the inclination of installation.

Ramped horizontal moving walk.Where no continuous pit is possible (e.g. due to retrofitin existing buildings). The inclination of the ramp canbe up to 12° (when pallet widths exceed 1000 mm,only 6°).

Horizontal moving walk in concrete pit.

Escalator in one direction of travel (route interrupted):With this arrangement, the passengers areguided past promotional areas. To go fromone floor to the next, they are forced to walkback along the side of the escalator.

V. Preparations by others.Everything is well prepared!

Moving walk:Inclined moving walks in shopping centres areallowed a maximum angle of 12°. For extendedtravel distance, e.g. trade fairs and airports, horizontal moving walks with wide pallets are especially sensible.

a - Short lower part: low space requirement at bottom levelb - Long lower part: highest ride comfort through convenient

entrance with shopping trolleyc - Short upper part: for economical space usage at upper leveld - Long upper part: Optimised for the use of shopping trolleys

4. Step and pallet widths.

An optimum choice needs to be made here: Neither excessively wide nor narrow steps or pallets represent a balanced ratio between the space required and the transportcapacity, between travel comfort and costs.Based on the cross-sections you can see the required space of your escalators and moving walks. A clearance of 30 mm for installation must be added to the dimensions on either side of the escalator or moving walk.

The EN115: 2008 revision for moving walks: The pallet width mustbe 400 mm wider than the width of shopping trolleys or baggagecarts. The trolleys or carts must fit to the ThyssenKrupp pallet.

Through wider steps or pallets, escalators and moving walk become noticeably more attractive.

5. Extended newels.

Optional extended newels optimise connections to ambientrailings in the upper and lower entrance areas.

6. Transition curves.

Depending on space availability and the number of horizontal runout steps, there is a choice of three transition curves for the upper entrance area. Two transition curves are available for the lower entrance area.

If you need to retrofit escalators or moving walks in

a building, our experts can provideyou with helpful hints!

1. Installation timing.To prevent damage to the escalator during the construction phase thetiming of installation and assembly should be as close as possible to theopening date. It should, however, proceed completion of the floor so as to dispense with the need to take further measures to protect floor coverings. Please ensure that the provisional floors along the transportroute in the building can comfortably cope with the load weight.

2. Transport to the assembly site.A suitable unloading area must be available in front of the building.The access routes to the building must be level and negotiable by heavy duty rollers. Along the entire transport route to the assembly site the free height must not be less than the minimum specified in the disposition plan (also goes for pipes and other attachments fitted by others to the ceiling structure). In your plan calculations allow for a 150 mm height of the transport rollers. The entrance width dependson the width of the conveyor, the length of the delivered units and, if present, the distance between supporting pillars in the building. In case of doubt, the entire transport route on location should be run through on a CAD program or scale paper model.

3. Access openings, transport route load capacity.Together with you, we agree on the best access possibility.- Normally, escalators are moved in through openings at the side

of the building at ground level.- Optionally, suitable roof openings should be provided, in order

to bring the escalators by crane.It is important that the route to the assembly location within the building is free of obstacles and level, and the ceiling can support a load of 40 kN.Otherwise the appropriate weight distribution must be catered to.

4. Special delivery.In order to deliver your system into the building and to assemble it ready for use in a time saving manner please pay attention to the follow-ing during the planning stage:

In some cases it is not possible to bring the complete escalator into thebuilding. In this case we dismantle the balustrades before delivering theescalator to you.

Some escalators are so long that they have to be installed in sections.In this case, we manufacture a split escalator.

Access opening about 3.5 x 3.5 metres.

2. Travel speeds and transport capacities.

Escalators and moving walks can continuously move passengers. Consequently, their transport capacity is much greater than that of lifts.Travel speeds of 0.5 to 0.65 m/s are recommended internationally.The maximum permissible speed of 0.75 m/s is only sensible for escalators with a considerable travel height.For moving walks the same speeds apply. Exception: For a horizontal moving walk, the speed can be increased up to 0.9 m/s.

For example, passengers tend to be hesitant at higher speeds whenstepping on to the step or pallet band. Even with larger step or palletwidths, the possibility to pass is not always utilized. Even so, higherspeeds and wider steps or pallets, ensure travel comfort and a considerable reduction of travel time.

EN 115: 2008 - for traffic flow planning the capacity of escalators andmoving walks has been defined as illustrated in the diagram.

3. Inclinations and travel heights.

Even with a rise of only 1.40 m, an escalator can considerably ease visitoraccess to the building.

Traffic installations:The most common travel heights of traffic installations are between 4 and10 m. The most common angles of inclination for this are 27.3° and 30°.At 27.3°, the escalators are normally parallel to the fixed staircases inpublic traffic installations.

Commercial centres escalators:For escalators in commercial centres, experience has shown that a 30°angle of inclination ensures optimum utilization of the space available andmaximum ease of use. For a rise up to 6 m a 35° angle of inclination isavailable (EN 115 only).

Persons/hour

Travel speed (m/s)

However, even with larger travel heights, our engineers always find their way up:

The 75 metre mark has already been achieved!

5. Ceiling openings.We will notify you of the location and size of the requiredceiling openings on the installation drawing. You mustsupervise the precise implementation of these.

6. Top and bottom supports.When you design the support recess please take the support loads into account. They are shown on the installation drawing, i.e. at those locations where the supports of your escalator (or your moving walk) will beplaced, the statics must be able to bear the weight of the escalator including 5 kN/sq.m. traffic load.When preparing the supporting structures the measure-ments indicated on our installation plans must be preciselyadhered to.

7. Intermediate supports.Intermediate supports are needed on escalators with a considerable travel height and on long moving walks. We will inform you in our installation plan of the location of the intermediate supports as you have to include theadditional required space in your construction plan.

8. Pick-up points by others.You will be responsible for fitting pick-up points for hosting and supporting the escalator during assembly.These should be located exactly above the centre of thesupporting points. For systems with several supportingstructures please plan for additional pick-up points abovethe intermediate supports. All pick-up points must becapable of taking a load strain of min. 50 kN.

Side view through thesupport with all details.

Solid escalators have a corresponding dead weight. An escalator e.g. with a travel height of 4 m, at an

angle of 30°, weighs an impressive 6920 kg.Therefore please check that the floor of the building

will bear the transport weight of your escalator. Otherwise, you will need additional floor

support during the installation period.

9. Electrical connection.Our diagram shows where escalators and moving walksare connected to the power supply. Please note that electrical cables are inserted at a distance of 450 mm onthe side of the support and that the length of the cable onthe inside of the escalator must be about 1500 mm!With complex controls, such as those usually required forescalators and moving walks in traffic installations, thecontrol equipment should be installed in a separate room.The supply cable is then installed in this control room. In case of additional of soffit lightings a separate powersupply must be considered in time. The power connectionmust be provided by an authorised electrical-engineerassigned by you.

10. Sprinkler piping.An optional safety feature is the installation of a sprinklerpiping within the escalator or moving walk.

11. Oil separator.A type-proofed oil separator is essential for escalators and moving walks which are exposed to the weather.ThyssenKrupp supplies (optional) the oil separator in thelower reversal station. At the construction site a recessmust be provided for the oil separator in the escalator pit.

12. Railings by others.In the threshold areas of the escalators, railings have to beinstalled by others. The distance to the escalator handrailhas to be at least 80 mm.For adjacent escalators, the distance between the edges ofthe handrails must be at least 120 mm.

Top section of escalator with elec-trical connections. Alternative front facing electrical con-nection is possible.

4 21I. OVERVIEW.What type do you need?

ThyssenKrupp Escalators.The escalator or moving walk model you select,will reflect your concept and your individual style.The model you finally select will depend on thecapacity requirements of the escalators andmoving walks, the location of your installation inparticular, the type of weather that it must with-stand and the required performance.On the following pages, we provide an overviewof our products to help you identify the right typefor your requirements.

1. Which escalator or moving walk to use? When?

We distinguish between escalators and movingwalks for commercial centres and traffic installa-tions. Due to the wide range of our models, we can adapt to most requirements. We are able to supply five different models. Discover the one for you!

With or without Internet connection?Many ThyssenKrupp escalators and movingwalks are already e-service capable. That means the system data can be accessed via the Internet. All XTRA models and all TUGELA’s and VICTORIA’s are fitted ex-works with an innovativeInternet interface. By using new image transfertechnologies these escalators and moving walkswill even be remote-controllable (e-monitoring).

But whichever model you may prefer – your decision is always for the proverbial quality“Made by ThyssenKrupp”.

VI. Installation.Is it in the right operation position?

Velino.Two models, one distinction: More design for modern buildings. New lighting feature under the handrail, reinforced profile or plain. All models combine attractive design with the latest escalator technology– for increased comfort and safety.Standard model: VelinoBasePremium model: VelinoXtra

Tugela.Never have traffic escalators looked so good. Whether with glass or metalbalustrade, the Tugela models are made to direct the traffic of tomorrow.Economical, robust, and with boasting technical features.

Towards the end of our basics of planning, one is confront-ed with the installation of the escalators and moving walks:On the following pages we provide you with informationabout the most important site precautions which will assistus in installating your escalator system in an effective manner.

1. Preparations.You inform us of your model requirements, travel heightand angle of inclination as well as the location of the escalators. Our engineers then design your escalator.

2. Confirmation of the main dimensions.ThyssenKrupp will send you a planning sketch or an instal-lation drawing of your installation. Please check whetherthe dimensions of the escalators or moving walks complywith the dimensions of your building. Please confirm thison the planning sketch or on the installation drawing. In addition, our installation team will verify and discuss the access with you.

The more we know about your building themore precise the planning. The ceiling openings and support loads are determinedin accordance with your information.

Every escalator is manufactured separatelyaccording to your individual requirements:That is why confirmation of the main dimen-sions is absolutely essential!

3. Final installation.The escalators and moving walks are unloaded from thetransport vehicle by crane or by forklift truck and placed onheavy-duty rollers. Then, we transport your escalator ormoving walk through the building. For installation purpos-es, lifting eyes are attached to the support angles of theescalator.

Depending on the type of building and the type of escalatoror moving walk there are several possibilities available forthe final installation:

Normally, holes with a 100 mm diameter will have beenmade through the ceiling, according to our instructions.These are used by our installation team for fixing the liftinggear. This way your escalator or moving walk is simply lift-ed upwards from floor to floor! The load strain of everypick-up point during assembly must be at least 25 kN.

Optional: Installation with a frame. If no assembly holes can be pro-vided the escalators and moving walks are lifted to theirfinal location by means of an especially sturdy girder con-struction. In this case, ceiling load strain must take at least25 kN.

Optional:Crane assembly. Where a suitable roof opening is availableor the site is located outdoor we lift your escalator or moving walk by crane and place it on the supports provid-ed. The customer is responsible for ensuring for all localauthority approvals.

Attachment of the cable winches

to the holes are prepared at the site
