Escalators are elevator systems for the transport of people, patented by its inventor, the American Jesse W. Reno on March 15, 1892.
Nowadays the escalator is considered a machine and as such it follows the Machinery Directive law and the harmonized standard EN 115 as a guide to the stages of safety construction and installation.
Escalators are provided with steps that are generally metallic, horizontally movable in both directions, mechanically driven by rotating chains on toothed pulleys locked on a winch motor. Naturally, the operation is completed by safety devices able to prevent potentially dangerous conditions of use for users, as well as harmful to the electromechanical system each escalator is equipped with.
The Del Bo Escalators designed for private use, in heavily frequented buildings such as shopping centers, restaurants, hotels and the like, are characterized by advanced technology and a refined style. In this regard, del Bo proposes the KLM model.
The Escalators designed by Del Bo for public use ensure high standards of quality and safety of passengers in airports, train stations and subway stations. To ensure the value and durability in environments with high traffic, escalators should ensure the ultimate in performance and reliability. As a matter of fact, our escalators ensure a regular service for about 140 hours a week, with a load equal to 100% of the breaking load, for at least 0.5 h in an interval of time of 3 h.
In airports and train stations, Del Bo proposes the escalator model Heavy Duty KLT.
