Escalator vertical rise - The difference in height between steps at the two ends of an escalator.
The vertical rise of an escalator is the difference in height between the step level at its lower end and the step level at its higher end. This measurement is recorded in units of length, and differs from the angle of an escalator, which measured in degrees. This field may be applied to a structure or to another defined area only if all of its escalators have the same vertical rise. Last Update: 2011-06-18
