What is the carrying capacity of an escalator?

A 1000 mm step-width escalator can move roughly 6,000–9,000 people per hour at 0.5 m/s — far above lift capacity for busy lobbies. A 600 mm width suits lighter traffic.

How much electricity does an escalator use?

With standby mode and presence sensors, modern escalators only run at full speed when passengers are present, cutting electricity use significantly versus old continuously-running units.

Do escalators need regular inspection?

Yes. Besides the maintenance contract, escalators must undergo periodic inspection by an accredited body/Disnaker. We support this process and prepare the documents.

What is the difference between an escalator and a travelator?

An escalator uses steps to move between floors; a travelator uses a flat or slightly inclined belt/pallet for long horizontal travel, safe for trolleys and wheelchairs.

Products & Services

Escalators for Malls & Commercial Buildings

An escalator is chosen not just for looks but for its ability to move large, continuous volumes of people with no waiting time. A standard escalator can move thousands of people per hour — a figure ordinary lifts cannot match in a busy mall or station lobby.

We supply heavy-duty commercial escalators for intensive use and commercial-grade escalators for moderate-traffic buildings. Each unit is selected by incline angle, step width, vertical rise and estimated daily traffic.

Scope of work

Unit supply — escalators at 30°/35°, step widths of 600/800/1000 mm, vertical rise up to 6 metres per unit.
Installation — truss placement, glass balustrade, handrail, and integration with civil structure and floor finishes.
Safety features — comb-plate sensors, anti-slip steps, automatic brakes, emergency stops and finger guards to SNI standards.
Energy efficiency — auto standby mode and presence sensors that slow the unit when no passengers are present.
Travelators — for flat/inclined runs, see moving walkways.

Who it is for

Malls and shopping centres, MRT/LRT stations and airports, hypermarkets, offices with large lobbies, and large government and worship buildings. In the growing cities of Kalimantan, escalators signal building class while solving circulation.

Installation timeline

Installing one escalator usually takes 1–3 weeks once the truss arrives and the civil structure is ready to take the load. For multi-unit projects (e.g. a 4-storey mall) we phase the schedule so areas can open partially.

Safety standards & SNI

Our escalators are installed to SNI escalator standards and Disnaker inspection requirements, including brake, handrail-speed and comb-clearance testing. We prepare the compliance paperwork for legal operation.

Maintenance & spare parts

Escalators run almost non-stop, so a maintenance & service contract is essential — chain lubrication, brake adjustment and damaged-step replacement keep visitors safe. We stock genuine parts for almost every brand.
