In 1893, the United States launched the world's first Moving walkway at the World Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The device is 1,310 meters long and is the brainchild of architect Joseph L. Silsbee and engineer Max E. Schmidt. It consists of a multi-speed system that uses two continuous platforms operating at speeds of 3 miles per hour and 6 miles per hour. , Slow platforms are only used for platforms with faster access speeds. And seven years later, the design duo presented their Trotoir Roulant (moving sidewalk) at the Paris World Expo: a three-kilometer loop with articulated wooden sections "like a wooden snake with a tail in its mouth." Glide the same".
With the proliferation of moving walks around the world, John Loder's "modifiable moving walks" in 1990 made the installation of existing buildings easier. In the 1900s, Stannah was busy expanding its product range to passenger elevators, freight elevators, and car elevators, providing innovative and complete elevator product lines.
Later, people wanted a high-speed sidewalk, but it didn’t come true. It wasn’t until 1954 that the world’s first high-speed sidewalk arrived at the Erie Station of the Hudson and Manhattan Railway in Jersey City.
Later, the huge flow of people at the airport allowed the moving walk to be fully utilized. The first moving walkway at the airport was installed in the Dallas Love Field Terminal in 1958. It connects the main terminal with the first gate of the three halls. Despite some user issues, other airports joined in 1960.
And in 1975, Stannah built the first stairlift. Now, the moving sidewalk that was once a science fiction novel has now become a scientific fact, used in demanding public areas around the world. Now, the category of moving walks encompasses even larger ones-high-speed, large-capacity moving walks that use magnetic levitation technology. It can accelerate from walking to a top speed of 7.5 mph, and each moving walk that can carry 7,000 passengers per hour is more energy-efficient than a bus.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest single-moving walkway in a city is just over 204 meters long. Pedestrians are carried under the parks and gardens in the Domain area of Sydney, Australia-it only takes more than 5 minutes to walk a road. By 2021, the maintenance and modernization budget for elevators and moving stairs will reach 125 billion U.S. dollars.
The moving walks that can be seen everywhere in big cities greatly facilitate our lives. If you are still choosing to install moving walks, Zhongling Tongda's moving walks are usually used in areas with heavy traffic, such as airport terminals, railway stations, and large museums. , Zoo, indoor shopping mall, amusement park, etc. In addition, there are elevators with unique design styles such as Small Machine Room Passenger Elevator and Machine Roomless Passenger Elevator.
