With its discreet 40-inch high glass balustrade, ThyssenKrupps Tugela escalator fits perfectly into every environment. As much as it flatters the eye of the observer, it pampers the user with incomparable ride comfort. This escalator is typically designed for higher-rise applications [>33'-0" (10058 mm)] and locations where heavy crush loads are the norm, such as convention centers, stadiums and airports. Increased motor and chain sizing, combined with modified handrail drive and tension carriage design, separate the Tugela from the Velino product line.
