The present invention relates to a travelator or moving ramp and a method for servicing it. The travelator or moving ramp contains a conveyor (1) and the travelator or moving ramp is modular such that the travelator comprises a center module (2) essentially fixed in its position, which comprises a main part the length of the conveyor (1) , and at least one end module (3, 4) detachably connected to the center module (2) , which comprises a section of the conveyor shorter than the main part as well as the serviceable objects. In the method the travelator or moving ramp is stopped and closed to traffic. The end module requiring servicing is detached from the center module (2) . Then a new or serviced end module (3', 4') is connected to the center module (2) . The end module (3, 4) requiring servicing is transported away from the travelator or moving ramp for servicing at the servicing site. The travelator or moving ramp is started and opened to traffic . |
