An escalator system with vertical step risers and side flanges includes a plurality of escalator steps, at least one varying length drive mechanism, a first decking, and a second decking. Each of the plurality of escalator steps includes an elongated step body, a first step mounted angled flange, and a second step mounted angled flange. The elongated step body transports passengers along the escalator path. The first step mounted angled flange and the second step mounted angled flange connect to form continuous barriers that prevent entrapment of objects between the moving steps and stationary panels. The at least one varying length drive mechanism prevents horizontal movement between each of the plurality of escalator steps traveling along the passenger side, thereby preventing entrapment of objects between adjacent steps. The first decking and the second decking partially cover the first step mounted angled flange and the second step mounted angled flange.

The application relates to an escalator step that includes a single-piece tread body, two side cheeks, and at least one supporting profile, which are all formed as plug-in parts and comprise plug-in connections. Owing to this division into plug-in parts, the escalator steps can be transported more effectively in disassembled form and put together in a very simple manner at the assembly site.

The application relates to passenger transport systems and related methods. The passenger transport system has multiple step units, a comb plate, a monitoring device, and a marking device. The step units are to be moved one behind the other continuously along a predefined movement path during normal operation. The comb plate is arranged at a fixed position relative to the predefined movement path. The monitoring device is configured to monitor an actual position of a currently monitored step unit relative to the predefined movement path and to detect a deviation of the actual position from the predefined movement path by more than an allowable tolerance value and activate the marking device in response thereto. Upon being activated, the marking device is configured to mark the currently monitored step unit and/or a step unit spatially correlating to the currently monitored step unit.
