This application relates to an escalator which comprises a structural frame, said escalator being connectible to a lift or elevator. For this purpose, fastening points for fastening components of the lift or elevator are arranged on the structural frame so that at least some of the components of the lift or elevator can be supported by means of the structural frame.

A passenger conveyor includes a main frame, a support angle at an end in a longitudinal direction of the main frame and which is to be disposed on a building structure; and a support reinforcement part. The support reinforcement part includes a connection portion which is fixed to the support angle, a building-side extension portion which is extended from the connection portion along a floor face of the building structure, and a main-frame-side extension portion which is extended from the connection portion along an upper face of the main frame. In a case where the building-side extension portion of the support reinforcement part is in contact with the building structure, and the support angle is not in contact with the building structure, at least one portion of the main-frame-side extension portion is able to touch the upper face of the main frame.

A method and a device are described for measuring structural components of a bearing structure of an escalator or moving walkway without specialized personnel having to carry out precise measurements in situ. The method comprises fixing an image recording device on a conveying means of the escalator, removing at least one of the tread units of the escalator in order to enable visual access to structural components beneath it; moving the conveying means together with the image recording device at least over partial areas of a travel path, recording images of the structural components to be measured with the image recording device, and generating a 3D model of at least a partial area of the structural components of the bearing structure based on the recorded images. Using the 3D model experts can then measure dimensions and spatial arrangements of structural components within having to be in person at the actual location.

A floor cover of an escalator or a moving walkway is described. The floor cover has a floor cover support and at least one cover element. The opening of a space provided under the floor to the surrounding floor which can be walked on can be closed in a flush manner by at least one cover element which lies on the floor cover support. The floor cover includes at least one device by which one single possible correct installation position of the at least one cover element on the floor cover support is specified. In the correct installation position, the cover element lies flush on the floor cover support, and in an incorrect installation position, the device causes at least one part of the cover element is arranged so as to visibly project beyond the floor cover support.

Power is recovered from an escalator or a moving walkway as the step orbits an endless track on rollers. A generator is connected to a roller orbiting the track. A battery backup is provided. The power is used for emergency lighting on the step, and for data transmission. Advertising and messages are displayed on a dynamic video screen mounted on the step. The apparatus is mostly contained within the escalator step. Information is communicated wirelessly to a remotely located central control station and back to the step, so as to display information in real time and to update advertising while the escalator is in operation. The central control station also monitors performance parameters. The visual display can include LED lighting.
