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, 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

Fall protection is one of our proactive safety features. Safety curtains, which can be installed parallel to the balustrades and are higher than them, further reduce the risk of passengers climbing over the side of an escalator.

Component safety

We strive to enhance user safety and product 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.
