Faster and More Comfortable

On the earth of high elevations and permanent travelling, which are the reality of contemporary city, it is impossible to manage without special equipment, such as elevators, escalators, travolators. It is the reason that urges the owners of high-rises to be so careful selecting the hoisting technologies, because it is the key factor of operational efficiency of a building in whole. In order to satisfy the most exacting demands, the specialists of Finnish company KONE - one of the leaders of global hoisting gear industry – created and keep on updating the premium class KONE Alta elevators designed to provide vertical transport for visitors of hi-end business centres.

Geeks know that the elevator operating in tall building, must feature a series of characteristics many times exceeding the requirements for low-rise hoists. First of all, it must be maximally reliable and safe, since if the elevator is unavailable, there’s no life in any tall structure, in contrast to low-rises, which, at least theoretically, could manage without hoisting gears. The second requirement for the high-altitude elevators is high lifting speed in combination with smooth and comfortable acceleration.

Today, no one can stand climbing up to the upper levels lasting more than a couple of minutes - life and business are getting faster, and the building claiming to be an effective marketplace should meet these challenges. Besides high travelling rate the high-rise elevator should be maximally precise in terms of hoisting mechanism’s operation, because at such high speeds and distances even the least errors in its control would be well perceptible. Moreover, in the Class A business centres, as well as in other contemporary facilities, it is inadmissible if elevator would miss its stop point – the tolerance must not exceed a couple of millimeters!
