Can I use a walker to ride an escalator?
It is extremely dangerous to ride an escalator using a silver cart.
■ Avoid using escalators
Silver carts are designed to run on stable ground, so they become very unstable on a moving floor with an incline or steps, such as an escalator.
The vehicle would have to be tilted, which could cause the center of gravity to shift and cause it to lose balance. This could cause the vehicle to move, leading to a risk of tipping over or being caught in an accident.
Especially if it has a seat or is carrying luggage, the weight increases and it becomes more difficult to control.

■ For safety reasons, please always use the elevator. <br> Stations, shopping centers, etc. often have barrier-free elevators installed, allowing you to move your silver cart safely.
If you cannot find the elevator, please ask a member of staff.
■ Summary <br>When traveling with a silver cart, safety comes first and the basic rule is to "use the elevator."
