"Outdoor escalator" is installed in open and outdoor environments. If installed in semi-enclosed spaces like covered metro stations or pedestrian bridges, they are referred to as semi-outdoor escalators. They function similarly to indoor escalators but are equipped with waterproof and dust-resistant safety features, making them suitable for exposure to water, moisture, and dust. Yellow illuminated strips are often used around outdoor escalators for visibility in dark or nighttime conditions. These escalators have less decorative elements compared to indoor ones and are commonly used in uncovered pedestrian bridges, metro entrances, etc. Outdoor escalators offer more options compared to regular escalators.

Semi-outdoor escalators, with a canopy, are used in places where limited coverage is possible, such as pedestrian escalators with false ceilings. These escalators have additional equipment compared to regular ones.
Given the increasing use of various types of escalators in public spaces, selecting the appropriate escalator based on its intended use is of special importance. Choosing the right escalator considering its usage environment contributes to its extended lifespan, better efficiency, and enhanced safety.
