Use this component to enter the number of escalators found in the building.
Note: The Marshall Valuation Service automatically includes elevators/escalators in the cost for some occupancy, class and quality combinations. However, Commercial Estimator does not automatically include elevators/escalators in any occupancies. You must use this component and/or one or more of the elevator components to include elevator/escalator costs in the report.
Base your quality selection on the quality and length of rise of the escalator (not necessarily the quality of the building) using the following:
Low: Narrow width (32") and a short rise of 10 to 12 feet.
Excellent: Better quality escalator with glass or stainless steel balustrade panels, 48" width, and a floor to floor rise over 20 feet.
For passenger elevators, use 651 (Passenger Elevators).
