A handrail drive for driving a handrail of a person-transporting device has at least one drive device and at least one counterpressure device. The counterpressure device contains at least one loading device and at least two counterpressure rollers, wherein the handrail can be guided between the drive device and the counterpressure device. The counterpressure rollers load the handrail against the drive device by a pressing force caused by the preloading force of the loading device. At least one flexible pulling element is arranged between the at least one counterpressure roller and the loading device, by which flexible pulling element the preloading force of the loading device can be transferred to the at least one counterpressure roller.

A turning system for a belt transport system, wherein the belt of the same is formed by a plurality of pallets and the transport system has a turn input stretch and a turn output stretch, arranged on the same horizontal plane. The turning system has a curved stretch, which connects the turn input and output, the curved stretch being arranged on the same horizontal plane as the turn input and output.

A plate conveyor includes a conveyor belt that is formed of interconnected segments which are guided on tracks, and a handrail which is guided on a handrail guide. The conveyor belt has a longitudinal extent, and the handrail runs, at least in sections, in the direction of the longitudinal extent along the conveyor belt. The handrail guide has at least one length compensation element. A length (L) of the compensation element, measured in the direction of the longitudinal extent, is adjustable between a maximumength (Lmax) and a minimum length (Lmin).

A plate conveyor for moving walkways contains a track system having tracks, which track system is formed by track elements, and a central track serving as a guide for plate conveyor elements of the plate conveyor. The length of the track system can be adjusted. For this purpose, substantially triangular openings which are delimited by bars are provided between track elements that adjoin one another. Triangular or trapezoidal length adjusting pieces are inserted into the openings and are pushed in to such an extent that the oblique edges of the length adjusting pieces abut the edges of the openings formed by the bars. The central tracks of the track elements that adjoin one another are connected to one another by coupling pieces.

The application relates to a transport unit for transporting a moving walkway, which transport unit has moving walkway modules and holding frames. At least two of the moving walkway modules are designed as a moving walkway central part and each have a supporting structure portion, the supporting structure portion being designed to support a guide rail portion, a forward pallet belt portion and a return pallet belt portion. The moving walkway modules are designed to be coupled to one another one behind the other. The moving walkway modules are arranged in the transport unit in levels one above the other. 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.
