Schmid Peoplemover System
The Schmid Peoplemover is a passenger
transport facility for overcoming obstacles as e.g. encountered in road and railway
traffic. The Schmid Peoplemover is operated by pressing a button, like an elevator.. The
wide automatic, power-operated doors will open on the same level as the walkway or
platform, thus meeting the needs of the disabled.
The landing doors are designed in such a way that they will be unlocked only if the car is
in the correct position.The car has a capacity of 600 kg or up to 8 persons. The car moves
upwards vertically in a lifting device balanced by a counterweight. The trip is continued
following a large arc to the horizontal plane without speed reduction and without jerk.
The downward trip is then continued again through an arc into the vertical plane and the
car smoothly approaches its original position. This permits the problems of obstacles
encountered by persons in wheelchairs, disabled persons or prams in traditional crossings
to be readily overcome. Therefore, the goal of providingcomfort and ensuring safety can be
achieved.
Variable in height and span, all design structural
elements are prefabricated according to the different requirements. The Schmid Peoplemover
can be installed at most locations within two to three days,
