TK velino (also written as Velino in both Thyssen and thyssenkrupp-era) is a current escalator model of Thyssen (and TK Elevator currently) which have been made since in the late 1990s. It is one of TKE's three escalator models; the other two being tugela and victoria.
Description[]
velino is an escalator design for commercial buildings, hotels, convention centers, hospitals and airports. The standard series is known as velino Classic. velino also comes in two different types; the velino Base and velino Xtra. velino Base is the standard escalator that can transport any volume of pedestrian traffic day by day. The velino Xtra is an escalator with numerous options and customizations. velino escalators can also be installed in outdoor environments (sheltered). This model was first made no later than 2003.
In 2020, thyssenkrupp discontinued the velino Classic and replaced it with the new velino 100, 200 and 300 series.
