Goodyear & Westmont Moving Walkways
Westmont Industries acquired Goodyear Tire's moving walkway business in 1975.

Speedwalk

Westmont's (and Goodyear's before 1975) horizontal moving walkway is known as the Speedwalk. Unlike more conventional walkways, it uses a rolling conveyor belt instead of today's more conventional metal plates. A Westmont walkway easily can be told from others by the shape of the balustrades at the ends. Speedwalk is extremely rare.

Speedramp

Westmont's (and Goodyear's before 1975) inclined moving walkway is known as the Speedramp. It is extremely rare. Westmont Speedramps' appearance is mostly the same as the Speedwalk. Like the Speedwalk, the Speedramp uses a rubber conveyor belt.
