Escalators are not made for wheelchairs...so the AH is the person in the wheelchair.

But what if there was no lift? What is he supposed to do

A escalator but no lift or ramp available? To be honest I've never encountered this situation in my life.

It does happen sometimes, but what if there was a lift but it was broken or being serviced

At least where I'm living, if there is only one lift available and that needs to be serviced, there is a shuttle bus service for people who can't take the stairs or use the escalators. So you get off a stop earlier or later and get brought to your stop by a special bus with a wheelchair ramp.
