City populations are expected to increase by nearly 2.5 billion inhabitants by 2050. And each day, those people will need to move, making efficient mobility in buildings no longer a luxury but an absolute necessity.
At TK Elevator we have engineered TWIN, a solution to maximise building footprints, minimise wait times and keep people – billions of them – safely on the move.
Traditional elevators in tall buildings require a single shaft per cab – that’s a large footprint that wastes leasable space. A situation that could be optimized with other people mobility solutions.
Double-decker elevators move people by fixing two cars one on top of the other. This solution uses power to move empty cars. And since the cars are fixed, the floor heights must be the same, limiting design options.
TWIN requires fewer shafts, works with different floor heights and only stops on floors where passengers want to get in or out.
