Technical Data

VVVF Passenger Conveyor, Walkalator, Travelator, Moving Staircase & Walkway Sidewalk: A Complete Guide

Modern urban mobility relies on advanced pedestrian transport systems like VVVF passenger conveyors, walkalators (moving walkways), travelators, moving staircases (escalators), and walkway sidewalks. These solutions enhance efficiency, safety, and accessibility in airports, malls, transit hubs, and public spaces.

1. VVVF Passenger Conveyor (Variable Voltage Variable Frequency)

• Technology: Uses VVVF drives for smooth acceleration/deceleration, reducing energy consumption.

• Applications: High-traffic areas like metro stations and airports.

• Benefits: Energy-efficient, low maintenance, and quieter operation compared to traditional systems.

2. Walkalator (Moving Walkway)

• Function: A horizontal or inclined conveyor belt for pedestrians.

• Types: Flat (for short distances) and inclined (for elevation changes).

• Use Cases: Airports (e.g., moving between terminals), shopping malls, exhibition centers.

3. Travelator (Moving Sidewalk)

• Similar to walkalators but often used in outdoor or large indoor spaces.

• Features: Weather-resistant models for outdoor installations.

4. Moving Staircase (Escalator)

• Purpose: Transports people between floors efficiently.

• Innovations: Energy-saving models with motion sensors and regenerative drives.

5. Walkway Sidewalk

• Role: Provides safe pedestrian pathways in urban and commercial areas.

• Materials: Concrete, pavers, or rubberized surfaces for durability.

• Smart Features: Solar-powered lighting, anti-slip coatings, and IoT-enabled maintenance alerts.

Key Benefits of Modern Pedestrian Transport Systems

✔ Enhanced Mobility – Reduces walking fatigue in large facilities.
✔ Accessibility – ADA-compliant designs for wheelchairs and strollers.
✔ Energy Efficiency – VVVF technology cuts power consumption by up to 30%.
✔ Safety – Anti-slip surfaces, emergency stop buttons, and handrails.

Future Trends

• AI-Powered Maintenance – Predictive analytics for real-time fault detection.

• Solar-Powered Walkways – Sustainable energy integration.

• High-Speed Walkalators – For faster transit in mega-airports.

Conclusion

From VVVF passenger conveyors to walkway sidewalks, these systems optimize pedestrian flow, improve safety, and support smart city development. Investing in modern transport infrastructure ensures seamless mobility for the future.

FAQ
1. Are the elevator wire ropes durable?
The elevator wire rope has special provisions and requirements. Configuration is not only for wire rope and rated load, but also considered the size of the traction, as a result, the tensile strength of wire rope is greater than the weight of the lift. The safety factor is equipped with more than four wire rope. So it won’t break at the same time.
2. Is it dangerous for power failure suddenly during the elevator running?
If it occurs, the elevator will automatically stop due to the electrical and mechanical safety device. In case of power failure,elevator brakes will automatically taken. In addition, the power supply departments such as planned outage, prior notice are also operating.
3. Will us be hurt when it closed suddenly?
In the closing process, if people touch the hall door, the door of elevator will automatically restart without any danger. With anti clamping switch, once the gate touched, this switching action make the elevator unable to be closed and even reopened. In addition, closing force is also available here.
4. How the elevator running?
Elevators are operated with a counterweight wire rope through the (tractor) traction drive, making ups and downs on the guide rail.
5. Is the escalator installation complicated?
We believe the functions of an escalator are not necessarily proportional to the operation complexity. Therefore, escalators designed by us apply an integrated structure, so that the equipment is more precise and more efficient and allows easier and more convenient commissioning.
6. Do you have any cerifications?
Yes, we do with ISO9001 / CCC / CE Certificates for u.
