A passenger conveyor (30, 60) with reduced pallet travel height is disclosed. The moving walkway (30, 60) generally includes a chain track (32) and a pallet track (40) separate from the chain track (32), a drive chain (34) movably disposed in the chain track (32), and a plurality of pallets (42) coupled to the pallet track (40). Each of the pallets (42) may be movably connected to the drive chain (34) and the drive chain (34) may travel at a different velocity than the plurality of pallets (42) in a portion of the passenger conveyor.
