The conveyor of a travelator comprises a number of shafts and a number of mutually parallel endless belts. The conveyor comprises a number of conveyor modules successively connected to each other with a connecting section between them. The belts in the connecting section are arranged to be loosenable so that at least one shaft over which the belts to be loosened are passed is detachable so as to allow the conveyor modules to be released from each other. To release a conveyor module, at least one shaft on which the belt loops in the connecting section turn over is moved in relation to another shaft to slacken the belt loops. The shaft over which the loosened belt loops are passed is detached and removed from the belt loops. The detached conveyor module is removed for maintenance and/or replaced. In the assembly, a number of conveyor modules are provided, the conveyor modules are placed one after the other and connected to each other in the connecting section by belt loops and at least one detachably mounted shaft, which is placed in the belt loops in the connecting section. At least one of the shafts over which the belt loops in the connecting section are passed is moved to tighten the belt loops and to form a substantially continuous conveyor surface across the connecting section.
