Escalator in Udaipur

Up to six stops, 1.0 m/s is comfortable. Beyond that, 1.5-1.75 m/s keeps waiting times acceptable in Udaipur buildings. Higher speeds raise cost and shaft requirements, so Rieka specifies against your actual Udaipur building height rather than selling the fastest option.

Yes, and escalator retrofits are a large part of what we do in Udaipur, because most lake-facing hotels, havelis and bungalows here were built before lifts were standard. The engineer checks load-bearing capacity, available shaft space and headroom, then proposes a configuration that fits - for a Escalator that often means a compact or pitless build.

Every Rieka Escalator in Udaipur ships with an ARD - Automatic Rescue Device - as standard, not as a paid extra. On power failure the escalator moves to the nearest landing on battery and opens the doors. Given the supply pattern in parts of Udaipur, we treat this as non-negotiable.

Rieka specifies VFD drives on Escalator units, which draw up to 40% less than older two-speed machines. For a typical Udaipur building the monthly running cost of a escalator is modest; the engineer calculates the actual figure for your stop count and usage pattern during the survey.

Rieka supplies fireman's lift configuration, fire-rated landing doors and fire-recall operation where the building class requires it under NBC 2016. For Udaipur projects the engineer confirms which provisions apply to your occupancy type before quoting.
