Reconditioned U.S. Products Escalator Cleaner
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The TreadMaster is a self-contained escalator and moving walkway cleaner that escalator manufacturers have recommended for decades. It cleans and polishes treads in one continuous pass while two powerful vacuum motors collect the residue, which saves a lot of labor compared with hand cleaning. It suits malls, airports, transit stations and office towers. Our technicians recondition each unit before it ships.”
Automatic cleaning for escalators and moving walkways
The U.S. Products TreadMaster is a self-contained, dry escalator and moving walkway cleaner. It sits at the landing with its cleaning head lowered into the treads. A weighted head with a nylon grit brush works down into the tread grooves to loosen soil, a vacuum nozzle pulls the debris into a cloth bag in the housing, and a polishing pad finishes the top of each tread. Once it is set, the escalator does the moving and the machine cleans step after step.
U.S. Products built it for airports, hotels, malls, schools, hospitals, factories, shops and offices. The same housing takes any of the five standard head sizes, from 22 to 40 in, and the clip-on “Escalator Cleaning in Progress” sign keeps riders off while it works.
Condition: Reconditioned. See how we recondition equipment.

Questions
TreadMaster: common questions
How is it set up?
With the escalator stopped, roll the TreadMaster to the landing, center it between the handrails, lower the cleaning head into the tread and lay the unit flat. Lock the restraining arms against the balustrades, level the head, connect the vacuum hose and start the escalator.
Top or bottom of the escalator?
It can run from either end, but U.S. Products prefers the bottom. Always place it so the steps are moving away from the unit.
Does it use water or chemicals?
No. It is a dry system: brush, vacuum and polishing pad. U.S. Products sells an aerosol tread spot cleaner for aluminum steps that can be used while the TreadMaster runs.
Can it clean painted escalators?
Yes. Swap the nylon grit brush for the soft brush made for painted escalators. Soft brushes come in sizes to match each head.
Not sure the TreadMaster fits your escalators?
Tell our team your step width, how many escalators and walkways you have and how often they need cleaning, and we will help you decide if this is the right machine.
