The moving walk refers to a circular running (plate or belt) aisle for a fixed electric drive device that carries passengers at a horizontal or inclined angle not more than 12 degrees. The moving walk is suitable for stations, wharves, shopping malls, airports, exhibition halls and gymnasiums. It appeared in the early twentieth Century. The structure is similar to the escalator, which is mainly composed of two parts of the active pavement and the armrest.
Usually, its active pavement does not form a staircase in the case of tilt.
The moving walk brings a new level of simplicity and comfort to shopping. It allows easy and safe access to all parts of the building, even when moving with a loaded cart or trolley.
