LIFT,ESCALATOR AND MOVING WALKS WHAT IS LIFT? Lift is a type of vertical transport equipment that efficiently moves people or goods between floors or levels of a building, vessel, or other structure. Open Lift (bubble type) Closed Lift (typical type) TYPES OF LIFTS Passenger lift Goods lift Capsule lift Hydraulic lift Strecher lift Glass lift

LIFT,ESCALATOR AND MOVING WALKS HYDRAULIC LIFT A lift where the vertical movement is done by hydraulic force. They use an underground cylinder common for low level buildings with 2–5 floors (up to 6–8 floors) have speeds of up to 200 feet/minute (1 meter/second) GLASS LIFT give passengers a visually stimulating ride between floors. The car walls must be constructed with laminated glass the glass lift consist of entrance area and a viewing area

LIFT,ESCALATOR AND MOVING WALKS WHAT IS ESCALATOR? An escalator is a moving staircase – a conveyor transport device for carrying people between floors of a building. designed on an incline of 27.3, 30, 35 degrees. If the height is more than 6m than incline of 27.3 should be given The speed of the escalator, shall not be more than 0.63 m/s for 30o angle of incline and 0.50 m/s for 35o angle of incline.

LIFT,ESCALATOR AND MOVING WALKS TYPES OF ESCALATOR: MULTI PARALLEL PARALLEL: These type of escalator go up and down simultaneously. CRISS-CROSS: They stacks the escalators that go in single direction and reduces structural space requirement.

LIFT,ESCALATOR AND MOVING WALKS TYPES OF ESCALATOR: UP” ESCALATOR NEXT TO STAIRCASE : It is preferred that staircases be located adjacent to the escalator if the escalator is the primary means of transport between floors. SPIRAL TYPE ESCALATORS: These are used to enhance the architectural beauty and to save the space.

LIFT,ESCALATOR AND MOVING WALKS COMPONENTS OF THE ESCALATOR: Landing Platforms. Truss. Tracks. Steps. Handrail. Escalator Exterior (Balustrade). Drive system. Auto-Lubrication System. Braking system. Safety devices. Electrical & Control Systems.

LIFT,ESCALATOR AND MOVING WALKS Handrail- operating speed is less than 0.35 m/s the handrail width not more than 75mm Each moving handrail height not less than 300 mm. BALUSTRADE- The thickness of the glass shall not be less than 6 mm. Height 680 mm vertically above the nose line of the steps, balustrade DECK BOARD- These are used for preventing clothing from getting caught and other such problems. deck board

LIFT,ESCALATOR AND MOVING WALKS TRUSS – The truss is a hollow metal structure that bridges the lower and upper landings. The ends of the truss are attached to the top and bottom landing platforms via steel or concrete supports. FLOOR PLATE- flush with the finished floor steps in front of the escalator shall be a minimum of 3 m. STEPS- Trade shall not be less than 400 mm Riser shall not be more than 220 mm. front and back edges of the steps are each connected to two wheels.

LIFT,ESCALATOR AND MOVING WALKS Standard transportation speed ranges between 0.5 to 0.65m/s For a speed of 0.5m/s the theoretical capacity is: 600mm step width -4500 persons per hour 800mm step width -6750 persons per hour 1000mm step width -9000 persons/hour escalators having a vertical rise not more than 6 m. Minimum head room shall not be less than 2.3 m.
