Continued success & trust

Complying with safety requirements for intensive use

The escalators of Guangzhou metro are designed for intensive use, complying with the strictest specifications and every requirement of the most recent safety standards. Their design had to be completely reliable as they carry members of the public, including children and elderly people.

They carry heavy pedestrian traffic: over 300,000 passengers a day for Changan stationin Guangzhou city center.

                    In addition to their safety, reliability and speed, the escalators at Guangzhou metro are extremely robust and were designed to last. Operating 20 hours a day, 365 days a year, they withstand very heavy loads (120 kg per step). Their most durable parts last 20 years.

Running at a speed of 0.75 meters per second, they are able to evacuate passengers from metro platforms between successive trains. They are 1.5 times faster than escalators used in shopping malls which run at 0.5 m/s. They offer very high performance even in their specific category: the average speed in France is 0.65 m/s.
