Every elevator project is different. TK Elevator takes a holistic approach that optimizes rentable space and streamlines passenger flow while allowing for highly flexible configurations and architectural design possibilities. This means involving the right experts from the very beginning and providing consistent support throughout the lifetime of your elevator systems.
Planning and consultancy: supporting your high-rise vision
Global High-Rise Expertise
TK Elevator’s global High-Rise Competence Center, accompanied by local experts, will help you from the earliest stage of the structural design process to enable you to build beyond limits. By making the right decisions from the beginning, you will optimize results and avoid costly changes later in the process.
Solutions you can trust
At TK Elevator, smart planning also means maximum transparency. Every mobility concept is subject to a thorough performance and reality check. The tools and methods for elevator traffic analysis consider ISO 8100-32 standards and are 100% open to scrutiny. The company operates solely with reliable and realistic input data for calculations and traffic simulations.
Built in sustainability
Energy and cost savings are a priority for every business but can be particularly challenging in high-rise and multi-use buildings. Owners and operators benefit from innovative TK Elevator technologies like the new AGILE Dispatcher, which provides intelligent, scalable control to reduce average wait times and energy consumption. TKE’s digital solutions also minimize the number of phantom stops, saving energy and component wear and tear. The company continues to invest in economical technologies like AC gearless machinery and regenerative drives, which feed excess power back into the building’s grid, helping to reduce total ownership and running costs.
In 2017, we received the first ever Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for an elevator. Since then, almost all our elevator systems have obtained EPDs in line with the product category rules of the International EPD® system.
The global non-profit CDP added us to their A List for tackling climate change in 2020. TK Elevator’s ongoing commitment is to reduce our carbon footprint by 25% by 2030.
Supporting your green ambitions
TK Elevator specifically promotes mobility solutions that comply with green building certification systems, such as LEED, BREEAM, and DGNB. TKE experts are available to help you achieve the highest possible classification and conformity standards for your high-rise.
