Sustainability pays off - with energy-efficient escalator solutions,

Our velino series proves that sustainability pays off. These escalators put energy efficiency into operational practice to lower your building’s carbon footprint, improve your environmental image, and boost your bottom line.

Energy-efficient lighting

State-of-the-art LED technology lasts longer than conventional lighting and is up to 80% more energy-efficient than halogen lighting.

Energy-saving operations

Depending on your load cases, operational modes such as standby or sleep mode and the regenerative drive option can help make your escalator more energy-efficient.

Lower environmental impact

By continuously improving our escalator solutions, we minimize their environmental impact in product lifecycle assessments.

Since safety is a top priority in your building , we put safety first in designing the velino series.

Around 50 standard or optional safety features mitigate the risk of incidents and injuries. Our portfolio includes an extensive range of motion safety devices and other important features to secure building interfaces. All this plays a key role in ensuring passenger safety – day in, day out.

Motion safety.

A velino escalator is designed with user behavior in mind. That is why our optional safety features go beyond the requirements of local codes. The auxiliary brake on the main shaft, for example, stops the step band in the unlikely event of a disconnection between the motor and drive chain to prevent any uncontrolled downward movement of the steps and reduce the risk of falls.

Proactive safety.

If you're installing an escalator in an atrium, certain environmental conditions, including passenger behavior, could cause a passenger to fall over the balustrade and experience serious injuries. To reduce this risk, we strongly recommend adding safety curtains as a fall protection solution. These can be installed parallel to the escalator and higher than the balustrades.

Component safety.

We strive to enhance user safety and manufactoring reliability by building durable components that meet first-class manufacturing requirements. Our proprietary step design, for example, offers utmost reliability combined with minimal breakage risk.

Building interfaces.

To enhance the safety of the interfaces between an escalator and a building, we offer diverse solutions, e.g. deflectors for ceilings or crisscross arrangements.

"Decades of experience in elevator and escalator technology means that you can rely on our expertise and efficient service that is carried out by around 25,000 service technicians worldwide."

Makes business sense.

Superior product quality ensures durability.

Our robust step design exceeds international code requirements and offers utmost reliability. Our truss meets the highest international welding standards and is aligned with lasers for a perfect fit.

Smart product design paves the way for smooth operations.

Our unique handrail inlet with its two-door release mechanism not only lowers the risk of entrapment but is also fail-safe against unintended kicks. Together with the precisely aligned guiding system for an even, reliable and jolt-free step run, velino offers everything for continuous operations.

Multiple features offer sustainable performance.
