An escalator is a moving staircase which carries people between floors of a building. It consists of a motor-driven chain of individually linked steps on a track which cycle on a pair of tracks which keep them horizontal. Escalators have the capacity to move large numbers of people. They can be placed in the same physical space as a staircase. Escalators to have moving handrails that keep pace with the movement of the steps as a safety measure. This helps riders steady themselves, especially when stepping onto the moving stairs. Occasionally a handrail moves at a slightly different speed from the steps, causing it to "creep" slowly forward or backward relative to the steps. Escalators typically rise at an angle of about 30 or 35 degrees from the ground. Most modern escalators have single-piece aluminum or stainless steel steps that move on a system of tracks in a continuous loop.Escalators are typically configured in one of three ways:Parallel (up and down escalators adjacent or nearby, often seen in metro stations and multilevel movie theaters)Multiple parallel (banks of more than one escalator going in the same direction parallel to banks going the other direction Crisscross (escalators going in one direction "stacked" with escalators going the opposite direction oriented adjacent but perpendicular, frequently used in department stores or shopping centers).
The direction of escalator movement (up or down) can be permanently set, controlled manually depending on the predominant flow of the crowd, or controlled automatically. In some setups, the direction is controlled by whoever arrives first.
Unlike elevators, escalators require no waiting time for use as they continue to move at a constant speed. If an escalator breaks down, loses power, or ceases to function, the escalator can still be used as a normal staircase in most scenarios and can also be detailed with weatherproofing for outdoor use.
Principle areas of usage include department stores, shopping malls, airports, transit systems (railway/railroad stations), convention centers, hotels, arenas, stadiums and public buildings.
