According to the invention, a track module (15, 70) of an escalator (10) or moving pavement (50) has at least two support structures (55) and at least one runner (16, 56, 56A, 56B). Each support structure (55) contains at least two supports (26, 66A, 66B) and at least one cross strut (67), the strut (67) being disposed between the at least two supports (26, 66A, 66B) and connecting the latter to each other. Each support (26), (66A, 66B) has a base securing region (68) which, in the installed state, is secured to a load-bearing structure (11, 51). In addition, formed on each support (26, 66A, 66B) is a balustrade-securing region (85) on which, in the installed state, at least part of a balustrade (17, 57, 57A, 57B) is secured such that static and dynamic loads acting on the balustrade (17, 57, 57A, 57B) can be transmitted directly via the supports (26, 66A, 66B) to the supporting structure (11, 51).
