Double horizontal moving walkways consist of two conveyors placed side by side, moving in opposite directions. Typically found in airports or malls, they provide an efficient means to transport pedestrians between areas, allowing movement in both directions simultaneously. By offering two paths, they streamline foot traffic and facilitate quicker, more orderly transitions between spaces. This design enhances accessibility and convenience, easing navigation within large, busy environments.
Double Horizontal Moving Walkways have overall combined widths between 8’8”-14’ (2.64-4.27 m) and handrail heights of 3’-3’3” (91-99 cm). Horizontal pit depths are commonly 4’ (122 cm) with pit lengths of 18’ (5.5 m). The overall lengths of moving walkways vary with typical runs between 328’-656’ (100-200 m).
When choosing the clear width for a moving walkway, five standard design widths for use are 32”, 40”, 48”, 56”, 64” (81, 102, 122, 142, 163 cm). 32” (82 cm) wide designs offers more flexibility for single users and allow enough space for a second person to pass by. 40” (102 cm) widths provide space for two people and also are wide enough for two lanes of traffic. Larger sizes between 48”-64” (122-163 cm) are sizes for larger parties and people with large luggage.
