FUJI Escalator | Escalator for commercial space

Modern escalators revolutionize vertical transportation in commercial buildings and high-rise complexes, efficiently moving thousands of people daily with minimal energy consumption. Unlike elevator cars that transport people in enclosed spaces, escalators provide continuous flow solutions where high passenger volume demands optimized throughput.

KEY APPLICATIONS

• Shopping Malls: Increase customer flow between retail levels (8,000+ people/hour)
• Transit Hubs: Airport terminals, subway stations & transportation centers
• Healthcare Facilities: Connect medical towers with gentle-incline models
• High-Rise Buildings: Lobby-to-concourse connections in skyscrapers
• Entertainment Venues: Stadiums, theaters & convention centers

WHY ESCALATORS BEAT ELEVATORS FOR HIGH-TRAFFIC ZONES

"In department stores, escalators move 3x more people per hour than elevator banks occupying equivalent space" - Vertical Transportation Journal

Case Study: Dubai Mall installed 26 escalators handling 120,000 visitors daily with 99.98% uptime - reducing elevator congestion by 68%
