Category: Issue 3/2007
Posted by: Editor

It is a highly specialized text which covers all aspects of the design and mechanisms of lifts, escalators and moving walkways, from specifications and analyses to design types and structural elements. Commencing with a general introduction to the various types of lifts, escalators and travelators, the text goes on to elaborate on the detail of individual structures. Illustrated examples underpin the technical instructions and the explanations are clear and easy to understand. Additional analytical and design topics, as well as case studies further augment the text.
