Travelators uniquely facilitate automated movement across horizontal and inclined surfaces, bridging the gap between the vertical limitations of escalators and other forms of transportation.
Introduced in 1893, travelators have been pivotal in architectural design and functionality, marrying aesthetics with practicality in airports, malls, and other large public venues.
Two primary types include pallet travelators, designed for larger groups with slower speeds for safety, and moving belt travelators, common in shopping contexts, employing friction for carts.
Their inclination of 10-12 degrees distinguishes travelators from escalators, allowing for a balance of vertical assistance while predominantly serving horizontal transportation needs.
