Abstract
A method for the assembly/dismantling of axles and/or the steps or pallets of escalators or moving sidewalks includes providing between parallel extending traction elements a plurality of axles and connecting the axles to the traction elements. The axles are provided with flattened zones in assembly regions for the steps or pallets and the assembly regions are provided, respectively, with an approximately eyelet-shape designed that has a corresponding slot fitted onto the respective flattened zones of the axles. The axles are turned at a predetermined angle around their longitudinal axis relative to the steps or pallets and subsequently at least one connecting element is inserted into a respective one of the assembly regions for securing the axles relative to the steps or pallets.
