A moving walkway carries people, luggage and shopping trolleys across distances that are simply too long to walk comfortably. IET supplies, installs and maintains horizontal and inclined walkways across Qatar — serviced by a Doha-based team.
Flat or near-flat runs (0–6°) for long concourses, terminals and mall atriums. People stand or walk; distance disappears.
Gentle 10–12° runs between levels, sized for shopping trolleys and luggage carts. The standard choice for supermarkets and car parks.
A continuous pallet band with trolley-locking options, so carts roll on and stay put on the incline.
The core decision between flat and inclined sets the rest of the specification by place and use.
Sensors and VVVF drives slow or pause the band when nobody is aboard — a real saving on a long run.
Handrail speed monitoring, comb-plate switches, a non-reversal device and emergency stops.
The walkway stops in a controlled way and stays walkable until power returns; nobody is stranded.
Specified for terminals and malls, or with protected drives and controls for semi-outdoor runs.

Exact figures depend on model and are confirmed at survey.
We discuss the distance, the use, the type of carts and your budget, then recommend the right type.
An engineer surveys the site, sets type, incline, width and length, and returns a firm price.
We install and commission the walkway, keeping the facility running.
We hand over the units and set up a maintenance plan that prevents unplanned stoppages.
Horizontal (0–6°) suits long runs in airports, concourses and mall atriums, where people stand or walk. Inclined (10–12°) moves between levels and is sized for shopping trolleys and luggage carts — the usual choice for supermarkets and car parks. The decision sets the rest of the specification.
Yes. The continuous pallet band with trolley-locking options lets carts roll on and stay put on the incline, which is what makes the inclined walkway suit supermarkets and car parks.
An escalator moves between floors on inclined steps; a walkway moves horizontally or on a gentle incline over long distances — the better fit when stairs are awkward with carts or luggage.
Yes. We set up a maintenance plan with 24/7 emergency response and modernise existing units of any brand, with spare parts stocked in our warehouse.
Let us look at your facility and specify the right moving walkway for it.
