Field of transport

  • the travelator makes it possible to make transport material to the manner of an escalator put aside the fact that the travelator is horizontal. It often circulates in only one direction.

One finds this type of transport in the airports. They make it possible, in this case, to make circulate the bags and bags put by the luggage handler so that the travellers can recover them.

In industry, one speaks rather about belt conveyer functioning on the same principle but allowing to make circulate bulk or isolated loads.
