ThyssenKrupp’s new TWIN elevator system is a revolutionary compact vertical transport system that offers greater capacity than traditional systems.
With a total of four cabs and 17 conventional elevators, TK’s TWIN is set to be used in the 210-metre-high mixed-use Latifa Tower in Dubai, which is scheduled for completion in 2010.
As one of the latest innovations in vertical transport technology, the TWIN system comprises two or more independently-operable elevator cars within one elevator shaft. The TWIN design has been embraced by architects and developers in Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Saudi Arabia and the UK, and is now being used in the UAE.
“The increasing number of TWINs around the world shows that architects and developers have been won over by the elevator system and its advantages – including reductions in building volume and greater capacity,” said Monica Soffriti, communications manager for ThyssenKrupp Elevator AG.
