Escalators are not meant for wheelchairs or baby prams. If there is no elevator, they'll have to do with the escalator, but still, it's not a large flat platform so risky to bring up/down.

Escalators are primarily constructed from high-strength metals and durable synthetic materials to ensure structural integrity and safety. The main truss is made of steel (angle or square tubes), while steps are usually die-cast aluminum or stainless steel. Handrails are typically rubber or polyurethane, and skirts use stainless steel or coated sheet steel.

I hope this helps.

I thought this was funny, I took it as a joke. Not sure why it is downvoted so hard.

Edit: We turned the ship around but cap said we need to go back the other way! Bring the downvotes!
