"Outdoor escalators" 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 like indoor escalators but have waterproof and dust-resistant features, making them suitable for exposure to water, moisture, and dust. Yellow illuminated strips improve visibility at night. 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.
