The Characteristics Of Kindmover

Kind!1: Escalator Operation Monitor For Passenger-Friendly Guidance(Optional)

Escalator Operation Monitor for Passenger-Friendly guidance(Option)"Arrow" and "No Entry" sign are displayed on the operation monitor to indicate the moving direction of escalator to the passengers. When the escalator stops due to the activation of safety device, the location of activated devices would be indicated in the operation monitor. Thus, allowing the maintenance staff to find out the problem as soon as possible.

Kind!2: Lighting System At The Skirt Guard (Optional)

Lighting System at the Skirt Guard (Option)The lighting system at the skirt guard is to provide better visibility at the steps. Thus, enhancing the safety of the passengers. The lighting system is also acting as a part of aesthetic of the escalator. It is recommended for the TypeS (slim) escalator, which does not have balustrade lighting.

Kind!3: Smart Deck Design With No Protruding Screw

Smart Deck Design with No Protruding ScrewThe advanced design uses non-protruding screws for securing the deck board and skirt guard as a safety measure to prevent clothing from being caught and other similar problem. Besides, special coating was applied at the skirt guard to reduce the friction.

Kind!4: Higher Inlet Position for Greater Clearance

Higher Inlet Position for Greater ClearanceInlet is designed to be located at a higher position than conventional escalators in order to prevent objects from getting caught in the inlet.

Kind!5: Easier Access To Operation Panel

Easier Access to Operation PanelThe operation panel, including the emergency stop button and key switch, is located nearer to the landing plate for easy and safe operation.

Kind!6: High Contrast Design Provides High Visibility and Safety

The comb is indicated by yellow demarcation line to enhance the contrast against the black-colored steps and landing plate. Thus, allowing the passengers to distinguish the moving steps from the stationary landing plate easily.

Kind!7: Safety Cleat System At The Landing Plate

The adjacent steps engage when moving near to the floor plates. The gap in between steps is reduced to prevent objects from becoming trapped.

Kind!8: Enhancing The Riding Comfort by 3-Pieces Horizontal Adjacent Steps At Landing Plates (Optional)

At the floor plate, increase the horizontal adjacent steps from 1.5pieces(standard) to 3 pieces. Thus, passengers can land and board without haste.

Kind!9: Lighting System Near To The Landing Plates (Optional)

Lighting system is installed under the steps, which are near to the landing plate. Green light will be emitted from the gap between the steps to provide better visibility for the passengers to distinguish between the moving steps from the landing plate.

Kind! 10: Poleless Automatic Operation (Optional)

Poleless Automatic Operation (Option)standby speed:10m/min,
operating speed:30m/min

A passenger detection sensor can be installed under the inlet instead of in the sensor poles. The rendering of sensor poles and safety fences is no longer needed. In standby mode, the escalators are automatically shifted to the lower operation speed so that the passengers can recognize the current direction of operation.
