DEE3703280Y 197*179mm Escalator Comb Plate

The escalator comb plate is located at bothends of an escalator or moving walk, where the moving steps meet the fixedlanding portion. The escalator comb plate has teeth, which are aligned with therecess of the steps and are rounded in shape. Often they are provided in yellowallowing passengers to easier identify the transition line of the often greysteps and grey landing plate. A safety switch is also fitted behind the compplate to switch off the escalator in case anything gets stuck there. The teeth ofthe escalator comb plate can break off when small stones, screws or coins arecaught in between. Escalator comb plates sections are usually fitted with twoscrews and damaged ones can be easily replaced.

Good escalator comb plate:

The teeth will be cut off when it’s hitbetween the step, will not have the turnup broken teeth on the comb plate.

Bad escaaltor comb plate:

The borken turnup teeth will leave on thecomb plate, and it will hurt the people and step.

However, the safety device fitted on all escalatorsand moving walks is often not well maintained by the owner. The likelihood tofind a broken tooth on a high traffic escalator or moving walk is actually veryhigh. Escalators are usually serviced once a month, hence it can take some timeuntil a broken tooth is noted. Owners are also not always keen to replaceescalator comb plates with "only" one broken tooth due the continuousreplacement costs.

One or multiple broken teeth are serioushazards, especially for children hands and shoes. Hence, I would like to remindon the safe usage of escalators and moving walks:

1. Always stand in moving direction. You can easily see the end of the escalator and in case of a sudden stop are in a better position to catch yourself.
2. Hold on to the handrail. By holding on the handrail, you can retain a firm three point contact with the escalator while travelling. In case of a sudden stop, you will have no problem remaining in a standing position.
3. Stand within the yellow lines. Nowadays, it is very common to have yellow or grey demarcation lines on the escalator steps showing the danger areas to refrain from. Keep away from the sides and the step in front as these areas are close to moving parts.
4. Always hold on to your children. There are real hazards for children. Broken teeth at escalator comb plates or gaps at the side can easily catch fingers, toes and shoes. Believe me, it happens more often than you think and often results in lost toes or fingers. Keep your children safe and ensure they do not play, sit or lie down on escalators or moving walks.
5. Do not use prams on escalators. Prams, hand carts, walkers or similar items should not be used on escalators. When they get stuck, they build a barrier, passengers usually cannot overcome. The escalator continues to push people towards the barrier with no way to escape, often resulting in serious injuries. Please use elevators with such accessories.
6. Carry your pet. Pets do not understand hazards and risks of machines. Carry your pet to avoid injuries.
