Escalator Handrail Advertisements with Safety and Anti-Fall Design

UD Belt: A barrier-free measure to maintain body balance on escalators.

Our company is committed to achieving zero escalator accidents through the use of our patented technologies, the UDOU Mark and UD Belt, developed after years of research and testing. With more than 70,000 escalator handrails installed nationwide, our mission is to enhance both safety and accessibility in public spaces. The technology works by applying a distinct, highly visible mark approximately every meter along the escalator handrail. This simple yet effective design produces three proven safety benefits: ・Prevention of reverse riding by allowing passengers to identify the direction of movement from a distance. ・Improved boarding safety by helping users visually recognize the speed of the escalator. ・Better balance and posture as users’ eyes are naturally guided toward the moving handrail. Extensive field experiments conducted in stations and commercial facilities throughout Japan have demonstrated the effectiveness of this innovation, resulting in a 78% reduction in escalator fall accidents. Recognized as an official patent, this technology embodies our vision of safety through universal design. We offer this system to facilities at no cost, enabling the sustainable, barrier-free enhancement of escalator environments across the country.
