Heavy-duty escalators built for airports, railways, metro systems and government infrastructure — certified, compliant and engineered for the highest footfall environments.
Public infrastructure escalators operate in an entirely different league. They run 24/7, endure India's harshest climates, carry millions of passengers annually and must comply with rigorous national safety and accessibility standards. DBAL's government and infrastructure escalators are purpose-engineered to meet every one of these demands.
Extra-thick truss sections, hardened steel step chains and industrial-grade step profiles designed for tens of millions of cycles without fatigue failure.
IP54-rated electrical systems, stainless steel and galvanised components and sealed motor housings ensure reliable operation in rain, humidity and extreme temperatures.
1000mm step width with 0.5 m/s speed delivers up to 9,000 persons per hour — comfortably handling the surges of rush-hour transit traffic.
Fully compliant with IS 4591, EN 115, DGCA (airports), DMRC/CMRL (metro) and relevant Accessibility Standards for inclusive public transport design.
Real-time IoT diagnostics allow central control rooms to monitor operational status, fault codes and performance metrics across all escalators simultaneously.
Modular component design, standardised spare parts and our 500+ engineer network ensure minimal downtime even in the most remote infrastructure locations.
Airport escalators operate continuously under the most demanding conditions — extreme footfall, international safety scrutiny, aesthetic expectations and the need for absolute reliability. DBAL airport escalators are designed to meet every challenge.
