Escalator disconnect

[Mikep8909]

we have an escalator that we are connecting we have for disconnecting means a lockable circuit breaker, but for the service disconnect in the pit of the elevator can we use a unfused disconnect, and for the 120v power to control in pit can we use a standard 120v switch for disconnect?

IMO, yes for both as long as the motor is protected properly.
