A transport unit for transporting a moving walkway includes moving walkway modules and holding frames. The moving walkway modules each have a supporting structure portion designed to support a guide rail portion, a forward pallet belt portion, and a return pallet belt portion. Each holding frame has horizontal struts spaced apart and parallel to one another and vertical struts holding the horizontal struts at opposite ends. A holding frame is arranged at positions spaced apart such that one of the moving walkway modules rests on one of the horizontal struts and the vertical struts extend on opposite sides of the moving walkway modules.
