You could easily stop an escalator with your feet. If you press your heels against the step behind you as you're going down. As soon as it detects the slightest bit of resistance it shuts off automatically.
I wonder if that was the reason why an escalator stopped moving for seemingly no reason at a metro station (and staff at the station had to set the fare gates to open mode so that they could restart the escalator)
Ah, now I know how those switches work. But aren't these escalators supposed to buzz when it is about to start moving? I remember that one of the escalators at Botani Square in Bogor buzzed before it started moving, when a staff turned the key.
Depends, for example at my local shopping center, the former escalator (old Thyssen escalators) buzzed before starting up. The new ones (from Schindler) have a feature that turns them off after a few seconds when not in use, and they don't buzz when starting (but they have a smooth startup where the old ones started up very suddently)
I hate that they put the key switch so low down like that, so your keyring ends up on the floor. They could easily have put it at the top of the side panel instead.
My thysenkrupp escalator must need a similar key movement combo to get it going. The only instructions I’ve seen say turn it once the direction you want to run and hold it there for 5 seconds before start up. That doesn’t work. I get lucky wiggling back and forth. Let me try this way.
True, and I had to wait for the perfect time to get this on camera without getting seen by other people. I was lucky enough to work there for several months so I know exactly how was the situation in there, and only those who are legally working there can operate the escalator. Of course, being a crew member I could switch on the escalator whenever I had the chance to do so. Btw I'm not an elevator technician in case you're wondering, but I know some technical bits of elevators and escalators.
I found out that on newer Schindler escalators (9300-11) manufactured after 2016 or 2017, the keyswitch is now located on the lower end rather than on both ends like before. Not sure what is the reason for that. The stop button remains the same as before (two buttons, one for each end).
Still, when u press the emegency button it shuts off the thing and you need to go down or up to reset it. If it was me I'd be too lazy and just switch the other escalators upwards ... Than apologise to whoever in there. Or just say it must get serviced so they need to go down and than tell not to go on up there.
Umm actually because the inside of the escalator in FD4 is impossible to be on an escalator because THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SHREDDERS ON THE BOTTOM OF AN ACTUAL ESCALATOR AND THE ACTUAL CONTAINS OF THE BOTTOM OF AN ESCALATOT IS NOTHING
@@IamShi1i Well sure there are no shredders but can still happen the same way like what happen to a mother that fell in an escalator shaft after the metal panel being loose
Sadly it is, nearly all KONE TM110 escalators installed around the world are from Kunshan, China. Even those installed in cruise ships (like this one) as well.

I love how the electric break/relay sounds when you turn on the escalator!

hey man you shouldn’t try to put resistance on escalators they can literally swallow people inside and have the power to crush.
The escalators I have seen has the stop switch behind panels equipped with alarms

@Wiwuuvators Nope, there is no buzz or any sound in this escalator when you switch it on.
Probably a safety regulation in some, but certainly not all, countries. Unless you mean mechanical noise.

Late reply actually it makes sense as they do not want people to
Mess with it since the passengers normaly do not see it
Yeah
you don't want ppl to mess with the key
I think the reason it’s placed there actually make sense. Because most people shouldn’t tamper with the escalator’s key switch
Best its in the bottom
Do you ALWAYS get permission before using keys?
Of COURSE
Great video
Have you been denied permission to use keys before?
If yes, do you remember how many times? And an example of one time?
Nope
I am in a hospital. I have stopped the escalator by mistake and now I'm trying to start it😂😂
Wow
the ones i see at train stations here are just small panels with on off and direction buttons

Can anyone help?
I didn’t know that elevator company aslo made escalators
Its not easy to make this video... Nice work. My boy love it.

The keyswitch direction turned I guess makes the direction of the esclators
It is
I always think why are there 2 key slots and stop buttons on an escalator?
Simple, to allow a person to switch on/off or stop the escalator on either end (not just on one end).
On longer escalators you even have stop buttons at regular intervals along the escalator

Aku sudah mencobanya dan itu berhasil, terimakasih
[Content Deleted] This is cool and this is a escalator
What location is this? And you worked in that place??
Since I worked there, obviously I can't say where it is due to privacy reason.
I am traumatized of this thing after what I saw on Final Destination 4

@@IamShi1i i don't care what is there but it scares me either way

It's good to use escalator switch!
Am i the only one who's tempted with the emergency stop button
don't bother, it just stops
When I was 7 I did that and security told us off
@@OhKnow379 I did that as well (Although I was even younger), however security DIDN'T kick us out 😂😂
Kone Escalator, which is only one place in Korea. And my best like escalator :).
Does that take the 300 Dimple Key?
To be honest I forgot the type for that key.
Ah ok
thats a really fast escalator
Are u fixing it?
No, just testing it.
how did you get permission
I worked there.
Goods job
wow nice
i’m not going on a fast escelator
How do I stop it during emergency as a normal user
Press the emergency stop button or plunger, simple.
I came back and realized why does this video has so many views...
Made in China, German escalators are not like that
Sadly it is, nearly all KONE TM110 escalators installed around the world are from Kunshan, China. Even those installed in cruise ships (like this one) as well.
@@idl3k_elev Oh, it's okay for channels from Indonesia, I'm not surprised when I say that. Because 100% in Indonesia is made by China, right?
Yes, nearly all the KONE escalators we have in Indonesia are made in China.
@@idl3k_elev Oh okey, thanks informations
Me while stopping it with feet
We used to call these meat grinders.....
Engineers (Or whatever you call the people working on them) still call them like that in France and for good reason I think.
Ngomong ngomong itu di mana mas?
Maaf nama tempatnya nggak bisa saya sebutkan.

Most viral video in IDL3K.
*Most watched
Ok. Because I saw a few M views (million) instead of K (thousands) so I thought maybe it is viral because million people see it.
