METHOD FOR MODERNIZING ESCALATOR OR TRAVOLATOR

摘要

The invention relates to a method for modernising an existing escalator (1) or an existing moving walkway (1). Said method comprises at least the following steps: - removing all the electrical and mechanical parts from the existing framework (6) of the existing escalator (1) or of the existing moving walkway (1), the existing framework (6) having two framework side parts (31, 32) and a base structure (37) connecting said framework side parts, and the framework side parts (31, 32) being connected to each other by means of cross members disposed at a distance from the base structure (37); and - replacing the existing cross members (39) of the existing framework (6) with new cross members (40, 90), the two framework side parts (31, 32) of the existing framework (6) being connected to each other in a mutually stabilising manner at least at one point at a distance from the base structure (37) of the framework (6), during replacement of the cross members (39, 40, 90).
