<p>The invention refers to an escalator or moving sidewalk comprising pallets (10) running along an upper track (88,90) and a lower return path, which tracks are extending between two pallet return systems (70) comprising direction changing means (72, 74), each pallet being connected to a first longitudinal drive means (78) located adjacent a first pallet side (18) via a first pivot (30) and to a second longitudinal drive means (84) located adjacent a second pallet side (20) via a second pivot (32), which longitudinal drive means (78, 84) being driven by at least one drive machine, whereby each pallet (10) has a pair of leading rollers (22, 24) and a pair of trailing rollers (26, 28) for supporting the pallet (10) on the track (88, 90), which leading rollers run ahead of the trailing rollers in running direction (R) of the pallet, and the first and second pivots (30, 32) are offset (d) in running direction (R) of the pallet, characterised in that the pivots are located in running direction (R) of the pallet between the pallet's fixing points (23, 25, 27, 29) for the roller axles. This enables a stable orientation of the pallet during the change of direction of the movement in the pallet return system and an enhanced travel comfort.</p> |
