Moving Walkway
Long passenger routes, wheelchair access, outdoor exposure and temporary installations call for different moving walkway designs. Our product range covers conventional automatic walkways, wheelchair-accessible rolling walkways, long-distance flat moving escalators, outdoor moving walkways and movable sectional systems.
At Ningbo Dongao Elevator Co., Ltd., we manufacture moving walkway products for different transportation and installation requirements, with distinct structures for different project applications.
1. Moving Walkway Types and Applications
Automatic Walkway
Our Automatic Walkway features a flat conveying surface without steps, with flat entrance and exit transitions and anti-slip tread patterns. The handrail moves synchronously with the conveying surface.
When passenger traffic is low, the walkway operates at low speed and returns to normal speed when passengers enter. This operating arrangement is suitable for horizontal passenger transportation in airports, railway stations and shopping centers.
Rolling Walkway
Our Rolling Walkway is designed for applications requiring wheelchair access. It features a reduced tread gap, an extended flat entrance transition and two handrail heights.
These structural features address wheelchair access requirements in hospitals and other public facilities.
Flat Moving Escalator
Our Flat Moving Escalator uses a continuous-section structure without intermediate joints. This configuration is designed for long-distance passenger transportation in large public facilities such as airports, railway stations and shopping centers.
2. Outdoor Moving Walk Escalator
Our outdoor Moving Walk Escalator offers several features for outdoor installation:
- Waterproof motor.
- Sealed electrical connections.
- UV-resistant treads.
- UV-resistant handrails.
- IP65-rated control box.
- Optional heating wires beneath the treads.
These configurations address exposure to rain and sunlight. The optional heating wires provide an additional configuration for outdoor projects requiring heating beneath the treads.
3. Moveable Walkway
Our Moveable Walkway uses a sectional structure with rollers. Its mechanical connections can be dismantled, while the motor and control box have detachable installation structures.
This construction supports temporary installations and equipment relocation in exhibition venues, sports events and other facilities where walkway arrangements may need to change.
