A support construction for an escalator or moving walkway comprises at least one framework element integrally constructed as a flat, non-profiled, cut plate. Multiple framework elements can be assembled into a unitary support construction. By virtue of the simple structure of the support construction. Wherein little welding work is needed, production time for the support construction is substantially reduced over conventional constructions.
A conveyor, primarily but not exclusively for use in the food industry, in which a conveyor belt (19) is supported on a belt platform (11) for movement relative thereto, and the belt platform (11) is formed as a unitary component from a single sheet metal blank. Preferably the conveyor includes a support leg structure (12, 13) and that supporting leg structure is also formed as a unitary component from a single metal blank. Most preferably the belt platform and the supporting leg structure are formed as a unitary component from a single metal blank.
