Visual excellence

Seamlessness with architecture

The design of the Series Z escalator blends seamlessly with the architecture of any building. Its simple yet sophisticated design offers flexibility, enabling it to harmonize with various decor styles. Whether it is a modern office building or a historic site, the Series Z escalator adds a touch of elegance and sophistication.

• Rounded handrail inlet cap: The handrail inlet cap's rounded design streamlines with the moving handrails, lending a silent elegance to the boarding and landing areas.
• Screw-free inner deck: Removing screws from the inner deck side face presents an even softer, more simple look, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the escalator.
• Contrasting floor plate for enhanced visibility: The floor plate of the escalator is designed with a clear contrast, improving visibility, and ensuring smoother passenger flow.
• Space-efficient design: The Series Z escalator requires less installation space, thanks to a shortened truss. This increases freedom in building layout and design.

Enhanced safety

Safety-oriented designs

Safety and ride comfort are the ultimate goals for Mitsubishi Electric. The Series Z escalator incorporates several safety-oriented design features, such as:

• Step with anti-slip grooves: The corner edge of each step features grooves that improve anti-slip performance and visibility, thereby enhancing passenger safety.
• Tiered demarcation line: Demarcations along both sides of a step are raised from the step surface, preventing passengers from getting too close to the skirt guards and preventing clothes from getting caught.
• Comb with smaller angle: The comb teeth angle is designed to be as small as possible (10° to the horizontal), preventing passengers and items such as baggage from stumbling or getting caught.
• Enhanced visibility with brighter demarcation color: Mitsubishi Electric's attention to detail is evident in the brighter color of the demarcation line. The yellow step and comb demarcation line offer improved visibility of the step, comb, and floor plate.

Added functionality

Versatile functions to choose from

A variety of optional features will allow clients to customize their own escalators, contributing to greater building value.

• Customizable features: The Series Z escalator offers a wide range of optional features, allowing customization and adding value to your property.
• Lighting for visual effect and safety: Lighting is provided along the entire length of the skirt guard and at the comb level. This not only enhances safety but also adds a visual appeal.
• Directional indicators: LED lamps at the handrail inlet cap form an arrow to indicate the escalator's traveling direction, or a No-Entry sign at the landing areas.
• Warning system: In-built sensors detect if a passenger is leaning outside the moving handrail or if a person or object comes close to the handrail inlet, triggering a warning buzzer and voice alert.

More options for customization

Our Series Z escalator offers more options for customization. Floor names can be engraved on each floor plate, and the skirt guard can be coated with a friction-reducing resin to prevent passengers from stumbling.

The Series Z escalator from Mitsubishi Electric is more than just a machine for transporting people. It is a testament to aesthetic elegance, enhanced safety, and added functionality. It is a functional, state-of-the-art technology that seamlessly blends with the architectural fabric of any building, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and value.
