Flexible By Design
With compact dimensions and performance from low to heavy-duty environments, FG PRESTO adapts to your space and traffic requirements to streamline planning.
Uptime for High Traffic
MAX cloud-based predictive maintenance, durable construction, and intelligent safety systems work together to maximize uptime and passenger flow.
Long-Term Reliability
Designed for endurance, FG PRESTO maintains performance and appearance through years of heavy use, reducing lifecycle costs.
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
Advanced LED lighting lasts significantly longer and is up to 80% more energy-efficient than conventional halogen lamps.
Energy-saving operations
Based on load conditions, energy-saving modes such as standby or sleep, along with a regenerative drive, enhance escalator efficiency.
Lower environmental impact
By continuously enhancing our escalator solutions, we reduce their environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle.
First-class components, more than 50 safety devices and options that go beyond the specifications – tugela is a safe choice for highly frequented traffic areas.
Safety Before It’s Needed
Anti-slip mats on cover plates keep footing secure. Taller safety curtains along the balustrades help prevent falls over the side.
Handrail Sanitization System
The internally mounted module applies UV-C wavelengths to the handrail during operation, providing continuous microbial reduction on this high-frequency touch surface.
Smarter Monitoring, Safer Rides
Full-length broken step monitoring prevents injuries if a step sags or breaks. Skirt monitoring detects jams, knows the difference, and cuts false stops.
Light That Guides and Protects
Safety starts with visibility. FG PRESTO uses blue or green step gap lighting plus bright comb plate lights at entries and exits. Traffic light columns are seen from afar to keep people moving. Add traffic lights to the floor plate, decking, or newel. Lit comb and cover plates look sharp and keep passengers safer.



Steps Built to Outperform
FG PRESTO steps go beyond code for strength and grip. That’s lasting safety you can trust, anywhere you install.
Automatic Brake Wear Detection
System monitors brake pad condition and initiates drive shutdown upon detecting wear limits, mitigating failure risk and enabling predictive maintenance scheduling.
Advanced Step Fastening System
Steps are coupled to the chain via hollow axles secured with solid bolts, streamlining installation and serviceability. Integrated oil caps at axle terminations contain lubricant, preventing contamination of step treads and risers.
Smart Control, Total Confidence
Decades of experience power our certified FRANKSON ELEVATOR control system. Flexible, reliable, and digitally enabled, it unlocks everything from predictive maintenance to full building integration.
Built to Run for 20 Years
FG PRESTO’s drive units are made for decades of heavy use. Gear drive means less maintenance, better performance.
High-Capacity Main Shaft Assembly
Main shaft designed for elevated load demands. Optional forced parallel run device mitigates differential elongation of step chains resulting from asymmetric passenger loading.
Less Wear, More Uptime
Gear drive means no chain stretch, less maintenance, and better performance. The arched newel with roller band spreads load evenly for longer life.
