Airport Moving Walkway

Generally divided into two categories, inclined moving walkway and horizontal moving walkway.

The inclined moving walkway is mainly used in scenarios where there is a large step between two connected places, such as from the first floor to the second floor. Its main angles of 10°, 11 °, and 12 °. For safety reasons, it is stipulated that the maximum tilt angle shall not exceed 12 °. It can be divided into two types: without horizontal segments at the head and tail, and with horizontal segments. Mainly used in supermarkets and large shopping malls where shopping carts need to be pushed.

The angle of a horizontal moving walkway is generally between 0-6 °.It mainly used on flat ground or in places with small steps. If the steps are high, it will result in a very long length. Generally used in airports and subway tunnels.

Airports are places with high pedestrian flow. It is necessary to choose the length, inclination angle, width, and load capacity of moving walkway based on the actual pedestrian flow and site requirements.

Due to the large number of passengers, safety must be effectively ensured, such as anti-slip design, safety handrails, emergency stop buttons, etc.

When choosing a moving walkway at airport, comfort is also a very important consideration, such as stable operation, comfortable armrest feel, and small differences in pedal connection.

Due to frequent use and high strength, materials with better durability are needed, such as stainless steel and aluminum alloy. Regular maintenance and upkeep are also key to ensuring its long-term stable operation.

According to its length, it can be divided into short and long moving walkway. The short type has a length of less than 20 meters. The long type reaches over 100 meters. Airports generally use long moving walkways due to their long passages and high pedestrian flow.

To width, it is divided into single lane and double lane. The width of single lane is about 1.2 meters, and the width of double lane is more than 2 meters. To ensure smooth passage of passengers and luggage, small airports can choose single lane, while large airports choose double is more suitable.

In terms of load capacity, it is divided into light load type and heavy load type. The light load type has a load capacity of 100kg/m², and the heavy load type has a load capacity of 500kg/m². Airports need to carry a large number of passengers and luggage, so heavy load automatic pedestrian walkways need to be selected.

Different inclination angles, speeds, and materials will also have different specifications. For moving walkway at airport, it is necessary to choose configurations and materials with high strength and durability.

When maintaining and cleaning, use soft cloth and appropriate cleaning agents to clean the outer surface. Avoid using cleaning agents with strong acidity or alkalinity, which may cause irreversible corrosion on the surface.

Regularly check the transmission position of the automatic sidewalk. Using lubricating oil to the hinges and door tracks to ensure smooth operation without abnormal noise, especially the position of the rotating shaft.

Offen check the electronic circuit, connection status, and sensor sensing performance to ensure stable operation of the equipment. Eliminating risks such as circuit breakage and signal line breakage in advance.

Purchase consumable parts in advance as spare parts. It will ensure timely replacement in case of damage and avoid affecting the normal operation of the airport.

Sure.

Although the airport moving walkway can be walked on, for safety reasons, it is recommended that passengers do not run or jump on it. As this increases the risk of falls and may pose a safety hazard to other passengers. If you are in a hurry, you can walk briskly, but also pay attention to maintaining balance and stability to avoid accidents.

Attention should be paid to the handrails of the moving walkway, which are mainly used to maintain balance during riding and should not be relied upon or bumped.

There is a gap between the two sides of the sidewalk pedals. You should be careful when walking to avoid getting clothes caught and causing accidents.

Excessive tilt angle increases the risk of passenger instability and falls, especially during high-speed operation. The larger the tilt angle, the higher the passenger's center of gravity, and the lower the friction between the passenger and the sidewalk, making it more prone to falls.

Limiting the tilt angle can ensure the stability of passengers during walking. And reduce the occurrence of accidents, especially when slippery debris such as water or oil appears on the sidewalk.

A reasonable tilt angle design can make passengers feel more natural when entering and leaving the moving walkway, reducing discomfort. Excessive tilt angle can put extra pressure on passengers' feet and knees, affecting the comfort of walking.

Excessive tilt angle can also increase the pressure and wear on the mechanical parts of the moving walkway, reducing the service life and reliability of the equipment.

The design specifications of the length, width, load-bearing capacity, and inclination angle directly affect its manufacturing cost, which in turn affects the procurement price. The larger the specifications and the more complex the design, the higher the price.

Moving walkway at airport require the use of high-quality raw materials and advanced manufacturing processes to ensure their durability and safety. It also increases production costs,. Such as replacing some plastic parts of airport moving walkway with aluminum alloy and stainless steel.

Airports may need to customize moving walkway according to their own needs, such as special colors, patterns, functions, etc. These customized requirements will increase production costs and thus increase procurement prices.
