Three traffic classes. One engineering standard.
Escalators have to be specified against the kind of traffic they'll see — not chosen from a generic catalogue. AuroLift escalators are configured against three traffic classes, with components, drive sizing, and step structure adjusted to match.
Commercial (semi-public)
Office lobbies, mid-traffic retail, hotel and conference circulation. Continuous-duty drive, standard step structure, standard handrail.
Public
Shopping malls, large retail anchors, public buildings. Heavy-duty drive, reinforced step structure, anti-slip step grooves, comb-plate safety sensors.
Heavy-duty public
Transit hubs, airports, metro stations, stadium concourses. Industrial-grade continuous-duty drive, public-traffic-rated step structure, full safety sensor envelope, optional handrail UV sterilisation.
Configurations & capabilities.
- Inclines: 30° and 35°.
- Rise heights: standard to 6 m; custom to 12 m+.
- Step widths: 600 mm, 800 mm, 1,000 mm.
- Drives: VVVF (Variable Voltage Variable Frequency) for soft start and energy recovery.
- Auto-start / auto-stop with motion sensors, reducing energy consumption by up to 30% in low-traffic conditions.
- Anti-slip steps, comb-plate safety sensors, handrail entry guards.
- Optional handrail UV sterilisation modules.
- Moving walks: inclined (up to 12°) and horizontal for mall and airport applications.
Built for Gulf operating conditions.
Public escalators in the Gulf face a unique combination of conditions: long operating hours (often 16+ hours/day in malls), high ambient temperatures, dust ingress, and humidity swings between conditioned and external environments. AuroLift escalators are configured against these realities with sealed bearings, climate-rated drives, dust-tolerant step structure, and weather-protected exterior options for outdoor applications.
Process.
- Brief. Share project type, expected daily traffic, rise height, and finish brief.
- Proposal. Detailed specification with finish options and fixed pricing within 5–10 working days.
- Submittal. Civil Defence and code submittal pack prepared in parallel with manufacturing.
- Installation & commissioning. Specialized escalator install crews. Pre-handover load and safety tests fully documented.
- Service. Public-traffic AMC begins at handover with monthly inspection cycles.
