Speed not only has a considerable impact on
the potential transportation capacity of escalators
and moving walks, it also infuences the
space requirements. The tables below summarize
the different product confgurations depending
on speed.

For safety reasons, the transportation of shopping
and baggage carts on escalators is not allowed.
If they must be transported, moving walks must be
installed.
Additional stops for emergency situations at the exit, with a distance between 2.0
m and 3.0 m before the comb intersection line, must be provided.
