Hitachi Elevator won a bid in the phase I portion of the
construction of Jinan Rail Transits R2 line on March 19. The 118 public
transportation escalators will be part

and 0.236 km is above the ground. The line will have 19 stations, including 18 underground stations and one that is elevated. This 22.8 billion yuan (approx. US$3.32 billion)
project started in January 2017 and it is estimated to start operations at the
end of December 2021. Hitachi Elevator won the bid for the following nine
stations: Wangfuzhuang, Renjiazhuang, Lashan, Xierhuan, Yanqianhu, Baliqiao,
Wanshengbei, Baohuajie as well as the Inter-city Bus Station.
Issues associated with most escalators installed in public
transportation facilities are that there are often more passengers than
expected and the environment where the escalators need to be placed are quite
complex. Hitachi Elevators public transportation escalators, a high-efficiency
passenger transportation solution, have been widely used in locales where the
passenger traffic can become highly intense, such as subway stations, airports,
railway stations as well as in convention and exhibition centers. With precise
design and measures to protect the passengers from the elements when the escalator
must be placed in the open, Hitachi Elevators escalators can meet the heavy
load standards under various environmental conditions, leading the industry in
terms of performance, including waterproof,
dustproof, anticorrosive and lightning resistance.
