1. Emergency Stop Buttons:
• Located at various points along the escalator, these buttons allow users or operators to halt the escalator's motion in case of emergencies or malfunctions.
2. Handrails:
• Handrails run along both sides of the escalator, providing users with stability and support while riding. They are essential for preventing falls and injuries.
3. Comb Plates:
• These are located at the entry and exit points of the escalator and help to prevent tripping by smoothing out the transition between the stationary floor and the moving steps.
4. Step Sensors:
• These sensors detect obstructions or irregularities in the escalator's motion, triggering automatic shutdowns to prevent accidents.
5. Skirt Brushes:
• Skirt brushes are installed along the sides of the escalator to prevent clothing, shoes, or loose items from getting caught in the moving parts, reducing the risk of entrapment.
6. Safety Edges:
• These are pressure-sensitive devices installed along the edges of the escalator steps. If someone or something gets caught between steps, the safety edges stop the escalator to prevent injuries.
7. Overload Sensors:
• These sensors detect when the escalator is carrying too much weight, signaling for it to stop to avoid damage or malfunction.
By incorporating these safety features into their escalator-related services, Vision Tech can ensure the reliability and security of escalator systems for their clients. This expansion into escalator maintenance, installation, and modernization will not only enhance the company's offerings but also contribute to safer and more efficient vertical transportation solutions in various high-traffic environments.

How environmentally friendly are escalators?
Escalators, ubiquitous in modern infrastructure like shopping malls, airports, and train stations, offer a considerable environmental advantage over elevators. Although they consume energy for operation, escalators generally use less energy per person transported, particularly during peak traffic times when they can move multiple individuals simultaneously. Additionally, escalators have a longer lifespan compared to elevators, requiring less frequent replacement and maintenance, which further reduces their environmental impact. By diversifying into escalator-related services, Vision Tech, leveraging its expertise in elevator technology, can play a pivotal role in enhancing the sustainability of vertical transportation systems. Offering maintenance, installation, and modernization services for escalators aligns with Vision Tech's commitment to providing comprehensive solutions to clients, while also contributing to a greener and more efficient built environment. With its established reputation and resources, Vision Tech is well-positioned to become a trusted leader in the escalator industry, solidifying its status as a premier provider of vertical transportation solutions.
