Abstract

A moving walkway pallet is composed of a series of plates of a plate belt arranged to circulate between two deflecting regions of the walkway. Each plate has a base body with a base surface to which a tread element can be attached. The plates are pivotally connected to each other along pivot axes (SA) extending across a width (B) of the plates. The pivot axis is located either in a plane containing the base surface or above the side of the plane, remote from the base body. The base body has a width base body cross-section having a geometric center of gravity arranged below the base surface.
