Engineered for the demanding climate and high-footfall environments of the Kingdom, our outdoor escalator range delivers unmatched reliability, safety, and efficiency across every sector.




Saudi Arabia is undergoing one of the most ambitious infrastructure expansions in the world. Driven by Vision 2030, the Kingdom is investing hundreds of billions of dollars in transportation networks, mega-cities, entertainment districts, and commercial hubs — all of which demand advanced vertical and horizontal mobility solutions, including outdoor escalators built to withstand extreme desert climates.
NEOM, THE LINE, Diriyah Gate, and Qiddiya represent trillion-dollar urban developments requiring cutting-edge outdoor escalator systems integrated into futuristic pedestrian corridors, transit nodes, and entertainment zones.
The Riyadh Metro — one of the world's largest metro systems — along with expanding bus rapid transit and airport expansions at KAIA and Riyadh's King Khalid Airport, demands robust, high-capacity outdoor escalators for millions of daily commuters.
Saudi Arabia hosts some of the world's largest shopping malls, including Mall of Arabia and Al Nakheel Mall. Outdoor escalators connecting parking structures, plazas, and retail floors are essential for seamless customer flow.
Makkah and Madinah receive millions of pilgrims annually. Outdoor escalators in the Grand Mosque expansion, Jamarat Bridge, and surrounding hospitality zones play a critical safety and mobility role during peak Hajj and Umrah seasons.
With major airport expansions and the development of NEOM Bay Airport, King Salman International Airport, and logistics mega-hubs, demand for weather-resistant outdoor escalators in open-air terminals and cargo zones is surging.

The Saudi escalator market is evolving rapidly, shaped by Vision 2030 mandates, smart city requirements, sustainability goals, and the unique demands of the Kingdom's climate and culture. Here are the key trends defining the industry's future.
With summer temperatures regularly exceeding 50°C in some regions, there is growing demand for outdoor escalators with advanced thermal management, heat-dissipating motor housings, and UV-stabilized polymer components that maintain structural integrity under extreme solar radiation.
Saudi smart city initiatives are driving adoption of IoT-enabled escalators with real-time performance monitoring, predictive maintenance alerts, and remote diagnostics — reducing downtime and operational costs across large-scale deployments.
Saudi Arabia's National Renewable Energy Program is pushing developers to specify energy-regenerative escalators that feed braking energy back into the grid, alongside LED lighting and variable-speed drives that cut energy consumption by up to 40%.
Mega-projects like NEOM and Diriyah Gate are demanding outdoor escalators that function as architectural statements — with custom cladding, glass balustrades, and bespoke lighting systems that complement iconic building designs.
The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) is progressively aligning local standards with EN 115 and ASME A17.1, driving demand for escalators with advanced anti-entrapment devices, CCTV integration, and crowd-flow management systems.
Saudi Aramco's In-Kingdom Total Value Add (IKTVA) program and Vision 2030's localization targets are encouraging international escalator manufacturers to establish local service centers, spare parts warehouses, and trained Saudi technician networks within the Kingdom.
