Introduction No invention has had more of an influence on shopping and urban mobility than the escalator. Over the past 100 years, the escalator has opened up a whole new world as a simple means of connecting different floors, a world we now move around in as a matter of course. 4

The escalator was the most radical element in this escalators and moving walks correctly in shopping architectural change process, and even today it is still centers, trade fair centers, stores, movie theaters, and the most popular installation in our environment of public transportation facilities is essential for business public mobility – even if it is the one least perceived by success and the smooth flow of people. This brochure its users. is your universal guide to all the main process stages, from project planning to commissioning. Escalators and moving walks still play a key role in transporting large numbers of people. Planning 5

Why Escalators And Moving Walks Matter Commercial Sector Escalators and moving walks are used to increase customer density and thus help boost sales in buildings used for commercial purposes. The examples on page 7 taken from everyday practice clearly illustrate how and why. 6

Department Store A three-story department store in the center of a European capital had three elevator units operated by a single control system. The objective here was to boost sales on the upper floors by 20 percent by increasing customer flow. At the planners’ recommendation, the owner opted to install escalators. As a result, customer flow was substantially increased and sales rose by more than 30 percent. Food Store A retailer provided access to the upper floor of his store using two comfortable and attractively designed glass elevators. Moving walks had not been installed for space reasons. Even after the elevators had been in operation for some time,the scheduled sales figures on the upper floor were not achieved due to insufficient customer flow. Once moving walks were installed, sales increased several-fold. Underground Parking Garage A centrally located department store with a food hall and a multi- story underground parking garage was unable to achieve its targeted turnover objectives in the food hall. Internal analyses showed that elevator access as a whole was insufficient. Using moving walks to provide access to all underground levels solved the problem as customers were able to get to their cars directly with their shopping carts. The sizable investment into the retrofit installation was justified by the increase in sales. HOPSCA Complexes of hotels, offices, parks, shopping malls, clubs and apartments, known as HOPSCA, are sprouting up as investment increases in commercial real estate all around the world. In addition to escalators stopping at each floor, multi-floor escalators can bring passengers directly to the destination floor. This can help to distribute the vertical passenger flow more evenly and benefit the passengers to gain a higher mobility efficiency inside the giant HOPSCA facility. 7

Why Escalators And Moving Walks Matter Public Sector Transporting large numbers of people efficiently is the top priority in public transportation. Schindler offers customized solutions for this area of application. Our escalator experts can tell you all about the special configuration options. 8

Escalators, Moving Walks, and Elevators Advantages of escalators and moving walks: In the commercial and public sector, escalators and • E scalators and moving walks with a moving step/ moving walks as well as elevators ensure a smooth pallet band look inviting traffic flow. Our experts will suggest the right choice and combination to suit your specific requirements. • Escalators and moving walks help channel passenger flow • Escalators and moving walks have a high transportation capacity • Escalators and moving walks are open and convey people continuously • E scalators and moving walks ensure that all floors are frequented evenly 9

Basic Planning Positioning Escalators or Moving Walks Within a Building Basically, to achieve optimal customer density, the movement of customers within the building has to be facilitated. Distances in excess of 50 meters should be avoided on commercial premises and in office buildings. The charts below show basic escalator arrangements. Customer circulation on sales premises depends on different criteria, such as the layout of the goods on sale. Fast-selling goods are usually sold in areas that are farther away from escalators. We recommend working closely with specialized store fitters or planners. 10

Escalators or Moving Walks? • Population factor based on net usable area • C ustomer turnover rate per floor in department Moving walks should be provided as a matter of principle whenever shopping or baggage carts are to be stores transported. • Level of traveling comfort required on the unit How Many Escalators or Moving Walks? (uncrowded, convenient, crowded) To determine the transportation requirements (persons per hour), you need to consider the following parameter • Peak traffic times (office opening and closing hours) uncrowded convenient crowded 11

Basic Planning Once the transportation according EN 115-1. Please consider the peak hour requirements have been stipulated, passenger traffic in order to determine the number you can determine the number of required escalators. The capacity of moving of escalators or moving walks walks is calculated accordingly, taking into account required. transportation of shopping and baggage carts. The safe integration of escalators and moving walks in The theoretical transportation capacity depends on buildings is based on local standards. In most countries the width and speed of the escalators. The effective EN 115-1 is the applied safety standard. In China GB transportation capacity depends on passenger density 16899, in USA and Canada the A17.1 standard is the and step width. Please refer to the table below valid code. Additional local rules may apply. Please contact the local Schindler sales office. Table H.1—Maximum capacity Step / pallet width 0.50 Nominal Speed v 0.75 m 3,600 persons/h m/s 4,900 persons/h 4,800 persons/h 6,600 persons/h 0.60 6,000 persons/h 0.65 8,200 persons/h 0.80 4,400 persons/h 1.00 5,900 persons/h 7,300 persons/h Note1 Use of shopping trolleys and baggage carts will reduce the capacity by approximately 80%. Note2 For moving walks with pallets in excess of 1.00m the capacity is not increased as the users need to hold the handrail, the additional width is to principally enable the use of shopping trolleys and baggage carts. 12

Basic Planning Arrangement of Escalators and Moving Walks Single Unit Continuous Arrangement (One-Way Interrupted Arrangement (One-Way Traffic) Traffic) The single unit is used to connect two levels. It is suitable for buildings with This arrangement is used mainly in smaller While relatively inconvenient for the user, passenger traffic flowing mainly in one department stores to link three sales for the owner of the department store it direction. Flexible adjustment to traffic levels. It requires more space than the provides the advantage that due to the flow (e.g., up in the morning and down in interrupted arrangement. spatial separation of the upward and the evening) is possible. downward directions, customers have to walk past specially placed merchandise displays Parallel, Interrupted Arrangement (Two- Crisscross, Continuous Arrangement (Two- Way Traffic) Way Traffic) This arrangement is used mainly This type of installation is the one used in department stores and public most frequently as it allows customers to transportation buildings with heavy traffic travel quickly to the upper floors without volumes. When there are three or more any waiting time. escalators or moving walks, it should be possible to reverse the direction of travel Depending on how the escalators are depending on the traffic flow. positioned, the store fitter can open up the view onto the shop floor to stimulate customer interest in the goods on display. 13

Basic Planning Proper Inclination Escalators to EN 115-1, a 35° inclination is not permissible for rises above 6 m. Inclinations of 30° and 35° are the common international standard for escalators in commercial 27.3° Inclination sector . This inclination provides higher safety and passengers Inclinations of 30° and 27.3° are the common can walk into the escalator at ease. However, it international standard for escalators in public transport demands more space in the facility. sector . 30° Inclination Moving Walks This inclination provides the highest traveling comfort and maximum safety for the user. Inclinations of 10°, 11°, and 12° are the common international standard for inclined moving walks. 35° Inclination Users find that a 10° inclination provides the most The 35° escalator is the most space-efficient solution. comfortable ride. A 12° inclination is used when space However, this inclination is perceived as too steep if rises is limited. exceed 6 m – particularly in downward travel. According Horizontal moving walks without transition curves can generally be provided for inclinations between 0° and 6°.

Basic Planning Optimal Speed Speed not only has a considerable impact on the 0.5 m/s for Continuous Customer Flow potential transportation capacity of escalators and moving walks, it also influences the space requirements. This is the optimal speed for all escalators and moving The tables below summarize the different product walks in the commercial sector. The combination of configurations depending on speed. sufficient transportation capacity, optimal safety, and minimum space requirement makes this speed the worldwide standard for this application. Escalators: Table according to EN 115-1 (other national regulations can be met) Rise Speed Maximum Horizontal Radii of curvature (m) inclination step run (mm) H≤6m ≤ 0.5 m/s 35° 800 R top R bottom H > 6 mm > 0.5 ≤ 0.65 m/s 30° 1200 > 0.65 ≤ 0.75 m/s 30° 1600 R≥1 R≥1 30° 1200 R ≥ 1,5 R≥1 ≤ 0.5 m/s 30° 1200 R ≥ 2,6 R≥2 > 0.5 ≤ 0.65 m/s 30° 1600 R≥1 R≥1 > 0.65 ≤ 0.75 m/s R ≥ 1,5 R≥1 R ≥ 2,6 R≥2 Moving walks: Table according to EN 115-1 (other national regulations can be met) No regulation for radii of curvature Rise Speed Inclination Horizontal pallet run (mm) not limited ≤ 0.75 m/s* 0° - 6° not required by standards ≤ 0.5 m/s* 10° - 12° 400 at the top 1600 at top and bottom * V ≤ 0.65 m/s is recommended pallet width ≤ 1.1 m ** In the case of moving walk operation with shopping or baggage carts 17

It capacity will not increase any further and there is an has also proven effective at trade fair centers. Longer increased danger of children or elderly people tripping horizontal runs and larger transition curves are required or falling in the landing areas. at these speeds to guarantee optimal safety and loading factor of the escalator/ moving walk. 18

Basic Planning Escalators and Moving Walks with Long Distances between End Supports Escalators and moving walks with long distances In order to optimize building space intermediate between end supports supports can be positioned near the bottom pit. Our experts can help you to provide you the solution which In case of higher rises an intermediate support will be fits best to your building. required in order to minimize the truss flexion according to the requirements of EN 115. The rules when to apply intermediate supports is indicated in the product specific Schindler layout drawings drawings. 19

Detailed Planning Standards The European EN 115-1 standard defines the safe structural design and safe installation of escalators and moving walks in buildings. The planning instructions in this brochure refer to these regulations. The standard- compliant inclination and speed have already been discussed under Proper Inclination and Optimal Speed. Transportation of Disabled Persons, Transportation of Baby Carriages Escalators and moving walks are not suitable for transporting wheelchairs and baby carriages. It is recommended to post a sign in the access area of escalators and moving walks indicating where the nearest elevators are located. Space Requirement Step/Pallet Run and transition radii The correct number of horizontal steps/pallets in the landing areas (i.e., the step/pallet run) as well as the correct radius between horizontal and inclined section of escalators and inclined moving walks according to EN 115-1 depends on the rise, the inclination, and the rated speed. The standard-compliant step/ pallet run and inclination radius is indicated on page 17. 20

Detailed Planning Building Interfaces Free Space Free Space To ensure safe use of the escalators and moving walks, a sufficient amount of free space must be provided at the upper and lower landings (see figure for minimum dimensions according to EN 115-1). Examples based on 9300-11, 1000mm step width According to EN 115-1, if fixed passenger guide bars are placed inside the unrestricted area, the size of the unrestricted area shall remain the same and in this case be extended in the length (see figures below). b1 EN 115-1: Distance between the handrail center lines b2 EN 115-1: Width of the handrail A1 Size of unrestricted area A2 Size of unrestricted area with reduced depth A+ = ∑A− 21

Detailed Planning Building Interfaces Free Space For moving walks that are expected to have a high traffic volume and that are also designed for transporting shopping and baggage carts, the free spaces recommended by Schindler should be a length of at least 5 m.Passenger guide bars, as shown in the picture below, need to be installed outside the free space, otherwise special regulations according to EN 115-4 have to be applied.Fixed stairs are forbidden in the unrestricted area. This area must be flat. A maximum inclination of 6° is permissible. min.5.000mm 22

Detailed Planning Safety, Regulation-Compliant Balustrade Height Balustrades are available in heights of 900, 1000 and 1100 mm. The advantage of 900 mm balustrades is that even small children can easily reach the handrail. For greater fall heights we recommend balustrades with a continuous height of 1000 mm. A balustrade height of 1100 mm is also available if required under national regulations. Overhead Clearance The free overhead clearance at every point along the step/pallet band must be at least 2.3 m. Safety Clearances The horizontal clearance from the outer edge of the handrail to the walls or other obstacles must always be at least 80 mm. This clearance must be maintained up to a height of at least 2.1 m above the step/pallet band. With vertical walls, all Schindler escalators and moving walks provide the specified safety clearance of 80 mm. 32

Hoisting the escalator onto its supports Moving the Escalator or Moving m long and weigh up to 100 kN, is such a key step in Walk Into the Building and hoisting the planning process. Planning is based on the technical it onto its supports specifications in our dimension sheets or on the layout drawing specific to the project. Moving the escalator/moving walk into the building As a matter of principle, we recommend that you up to its supports is a critical process that requires coordinate the date and time as well as how the meticulous preparations (see Services Provided by the escalator/moving walk will be moved into the building Customer, Site Preparations). and the access route with our experts PLENTY OF TIME IN ADVANCE. Once the escalator/moving walk has been unloaded by crane or forklift truck, the escalator/ moving walk The key points involved in this process are summarized is placed on roller dollies and towed by forklift truck. below. To minimize the on-site transportation logistics, it is extremely important to keep the transportation route A suitable area for unloading the escalator/moving as short and as straight as possible.Optimal planning walk from the truck has to be provided in front of the and preparation of on-site transportation and the building. The access routes to the building and the moving of the escalator/ moving walk into the building installation site must be level and accessible with roller are essential for ensuring the best possible installation dollies. Essentially, there are two possibilities for moving sequence and thereby minimizing building costs. the escalator/moving walk into the building: Escalators/ moving walks are entirely preassembled at the factory. This is why planning on-site transportation • Through appropriate side openings in the building or of the escalators/moving walks, which can be up to 17 roof using an on-site or mobile crane • Through ground-floor openings in the building using special forklift trucks 49
