1. Material of escalator handrails
Escalator handrails are usually made of high-quality rubber or PVC. Among them, rubber handrails have good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and are easy to clean and maintain; while PVC handrails have high temperature resistance and aging resistance, and are easier to clean and maintain.
2. Specifications of escalator handrails
The specifications of escalator handrails mainly depend on the length and width of the handrails. Normally, the length of the handrail is consistent with the length of the escalator, that is, the length of a handrail is 800mm or 1000mm; while the width of the handrail is usually 600mm or 800mm.
3. Installation method of escalator handrails
The installation of escalator handrails is usually divided into two methods, namely direct sticking type and bracket mounting type. The direct-adhesive type is easy to install, but requires a flat, dry wall or handrail surface; the bracket-mounted type requires a bracket to fix the handrail, but can adapt to different wall and handrail materials.
4. Frequently Asked Questions about Escalator Handrails
