thyssenkrupp introduces the MULTI elevator

ThyssenKrupp is pleased to introduce the elevator industry’s holy grail and the end of the 160-year reign of the rope-dependent elevator. MULTI harnesses the power of linear motor technology to move multiple cars in a single shaft both vertically and horizontally. It enables the operation of multiple cars in a single elevator shaft, combined with horizontal shaft-changing cabin systems.

The era of the rope-dependent elevator is now over, 160 years after its invention. Building design will no longer be limited by the height or vertical alignment of elevator shafts. The exchange system allows 90-degree turning on the linear drive and guiding equipment which opens possibilities to architects and building developers they have never imagined possible.
