What We Supply

Four Handrail Types for Every Escalator

Pick by section shape and duty — we confirm the exact profile from your measured dimensions.

01

C-Type Handrails

Open-section, clip-on profile — the universal choice for most commercial escalators and moving walks.

  • SWE, SDS, OTIS-800, FT-800, KONE C700
  • Indoor malls, offices, residential
  • SBR / EPDM / CSM
02

V-Type Handrails

Internal V-rib seats into the guide rail on transit / opaque-balustrade units. Never swaps with C-type.

  • SDS-V, OTIS-800V, FT-300V, KONE V700
  • Metro, airport, transit duty
  • SBR / CSM
03

Linear-Drive Handrails

Embedded steel plate driven directly by the wheel — used on certain Hitachi & Mitsubishi machines.

  • Hitachi GRF series, Mitsubishi J
  • Specialised OEM profiles
  • EHC / Prysmian only
04

Coloured & Custom

CSM keeps its colour; TPU is hygienic and easy-clean. Custom widths, colours and end-forms on request.

  • CSM coloured, TPU (NT)
  • Landmark, hospital, food area
  • Made-to-measure

Replacement Guide

When (and Why) to Replace a Handrail

A handrail is a safety part. These are the published scrap conditions — and the natural moment to upsell the full kit.

1

Scrap when steel shows

GB/T 37217-2018: replace immediately if the internal steel cord or steel tape is exposed.

2

Scrap on delamination

Layers peeling apart, or the cover worn through to the carcass — the belt can no longer carry load safely.

3

Scrap on wide cracks

Any crack wider than 3 mm in the cover is a scrap condition.

4

Scrap on slip

If the belt slips and handrail speed drifts outside 0–+2% of the step speed, replace it.

5

Watch the gap

If the mouth-to-rail gap exceeds 8 mm (GB 16899), the belt is out of spec and must go.

Tip: when the belt is scrapped, the pressure chain, guide rollers, inlet rubber and tensioner are usually near end-of-life too — quote them together.
Typical life: transit duty (metro/airport) 3–7 yr · office/residential 7–10 yr · outdoor life drops 30–50%. Reference: GB/T 37217-2018, GB 16899-2011, T/CEA 3017-2022, EN 115-1.
Preventative maintenance keeps an escalator running for 20 years
An escalator can last 20 years with preventative maintenance — a fresh handrail is the cheapest life-extension you can buy.

All dimensions are nominal with manufacturer tolerance. Final selection requires measured cross-section + OEM part number.

Material & Construction

What a Handrail Is Made Of

Every belt is a 4-layer composite. The cover material decides feel, life and where it can be used.

LAYER

Cover

SBR / CSM / EPDM / NR+CR / TPU

75±5 Shore A; wear, UV and ozone resistance; CSM keeps its colour

  • The gripped surface — decides feel, wear and look
LAYER

Carcass

Nylon-polyester fabric

Dimensional stability and bend-fatigue; ~20 bends per cycle, 40M+ over life

  • Decides resistance to repeated bending
LAYER

Tensile

Steel cord / aramid / polyester; plate in linear-drive

Min. breaking strength ≥25 kN (EN 115-1, joint included); elongation ≤0.1% @2000 N

  • Stops the belt stretching, slipping or wandering
LAYER

Slider

Low-friction nylon / polyester

Friction ≤0.30 on rail (dry), static ≥0.60 on drive wheel

  • Slides on the guide rail — sets run resistance and heat
SBR

Styrene-Butadiene Rubber

Pros: Most flexible, best bend-fatigue, lowest cost, good grip; ~90% of all belts

Best for: Indoor malls, offices, residential, low–mid traffic

  • Price: 1.0×
CSM

Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene (Hypalon)

Pros: Wear-resistant synthetic rubber that keeps its colour; flame-retardant, UV- and oil-resistant

Best for: Coloured belts, landmarks, hospitals / food areas needing frequent disinfection

  • Price: 1.3–1.8×
EPDM / NR+CR

EPDM / NR+CR blend

Pros: UV- and ozone-resistant, stays supple in cold; mainstream indoor formula in China

Best for: Semi-outdoor, cold regions, low indoor traffic

  • Price: 1.0–1.2×
TPU (NT)

Thermoplastic Polyurethane

Pros: 3–5× wear life of rubber, dense high-gloss surface, easy-clean, anti-bacterial, recyclable

Best for: Metro, rail, airport, hospital, outdoor, high-hygiene

  • Price: 1.8–3.0×
Linear-drive

Embedded steel-plate belt

Pros: Driven by the wheel meshing an internal steel plate, not friction; Hitachi / Mitsubishi transit types

Best for: Hitachi & Mitsubishi linear-drive machines

  • Price: highest
Rule of thumb: indoor → SBR (≈90% of market, cheapest); coloured / high-clean → CSM; metro / airport / hospital / outdoor → TPU (3–5× wear life); certain Hitachi & Mitsubishi → linear-drive.

Handrails for Every Major Escalator Brand

We supply OEM-equivalent belts and profiles that fit the world’s leading escalator and moving-walk manufacturers.

Selection

The Six Dimensions That Lock the Model

Measure these on the old belt (or the balustrade mouth) before you order. Lip d, overall D1 and total H decide fit.

d

Lip / mouth width

33 – 42 mm

First factor — decides if it clips onto the rail (T/CEA 3017: 30–46 mm)

D

Inner width

59 – 68 mm

Fit to the guide rail and idler wheel

D1

Overall width

75 – 88 mm

T/CEA 3017 & EN 115-1: 70–100 mm

h

Inner height

9 – 16.5 mm

Related to rail thickness

h1

Top thickness

9.2 – 12 mm

T/CEA 3017: surface ≥6 mm, total ≥20 mm

H

Total height

27 – 36 mm

Grip feel and pressure-roller clearance

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

There is no global standard model number. Measure six cross-section dimensions — lip width d, inner width D, overall width D1, inner height h, top thickness h1 and total height H — then match them in our Model Finder. Brand is secondary to the actual measured section.
C-type has an open mouth that clips onto the balustrade rail — the universal choice for most escalators. V-type adds an internal V-rib that seats into the guide on transit / opaque-balustrade units. They are never interchangeable, even when the body dimensions look identical.
SBR (~90% of the market) is the low-cost, flexible indoor default. CSM keeps its colour and resists UV/oils — best for coloured or hygienic sites. TPU lasts 3–5× longer and is easiest to clean — the metro/airport/hospital choice. Linear-drive (embedded steel plate) is only for certain Hitachi / Mitsubishi machines.
By the metre. Typical MOQ is 20–50 m, supplied on 100–200 m reels. Each escalator needs a precisely measured length — left and right sides can differ — so we cut to your confirmed dimension and end-form (EL / BO / EO / BG).
Per GB/T 37217-2018 the belt is scrapped when: steel/cord is exposed; the layers delaminate; a crack wider than 3 mm appears; it slips (speed error beyond 0–+2%); or the mouth-to-rail gap exceeds 8 mm. Typical life is 3–7 yr in transit duty, 7–10 yr in office/residential duty.
Yes. Our belts are built to EN 115-1 and GB 16899, with a minimum breaking strength of ≥25 kN for both the belt and the joint. Request the joint type and test report with any quote.
Both. Because a worn belt usually means the pressure chain, guide rollers, inlet rubber and tensioner are also near end-of-life, we recommend a bundled quote — higher ticket, fewer comebacks.
Send the measured section (photo + dimensions) or the OEM part number and we reply within 24 hours. Stock profiles ship in days; made-to-measure and linear-drive types take longer — we confirm the lead time on the quote.
