KONE elevator solutions are based on the KONE MonoSpace®, KONE MiniSpace™, or the KONE Alta™ platform. Both KONE MonoSpace and the KONE MiniSpace platforms feature the highly reliable KONE EcoDisc® hoisting invention.

KONE products that are based on the KONE MonoSpace or KONE MiniSpace platforms, comply with the requirements of EN81-70, the European harmonized code for improving the use of elevators for people with disabilities.

KONE MonoSpace® platform eliminates the need for a separate machine room. KONE MonoSpace requires less space than other solutions. It also reduces the energy consumption, weighs less and offers long service life. When it comes to environment, KONE Monospace is a perfect choice, as it requires no oil and its parts are easily recyclable.

Since its introduction in 1996, the KONE MonoSpace elevator has become the industry standard for machine-room-less elevator applications in new buildings. The product range based on the technology used in MonoSpace elevators has been expanded to cover every kind of installation from heavy-duty freight elevators to high-speed passenger units for the world’s tallest skyscrapers.

The KONE MonoSpace concept has won prestigious awards around the world. Its undisputed competitive advantages have enabled KONE to establish entirely new industry standards. By the end of 2005, 120,000 KONE MonoSpace platforms had been installed and were in use.

KONE MiniSpace™ platform needs only a small machine room, which is located above the shaft. This highly space-efficient gearless solution saves construction costs and enhances the external appearance of the building. The small machine room optimizes building space, which is most important for office buildings.

The KONE MiniSpace platform offers improved ride comfort, reduced noise level, enhanced designs, and more efficient installation. It requires fewer building interfaces that need less space than other solutions.

KONE MiniSpace offers high-tech features, such as remote control. The platform provides a universal elevator solution to practically all types of mid- to high-rise (office) buildings featuring modular, flexible specification classes and architectural solutions. The elevators come complete with expert support services and improved, efficient process solutions designed to match customers’ project planning, design and construction phase processes and schedules.

The KONE Alta™ elevator design is developed for super-tall office buildings up to 500 meters (1,600 ft) in height. These elevators can transport up to 70 passengers and reach speeds up to 17 meters per second (3,400 ft/min). This is made possible with powerful double-rotor versions of the KONE EcoDisc hoisting machines. The high-speed EcoDisc units offer up to 35% better energy efficiency than conventional AC or DC gearless machines while delivering an outstanding performance and extraordinarily smooth and quiet ride.

KONE Alta control systems employ genetic algorithms for optimized routing of elevator cars using fuzzy logic and artificial intelligence for specific control tasks. Special KONE 'SilentCar' technology applied on both single and high capacity 'double-deck' cars ensures a smooth and quiet ride.

Using flexible componentry and sub-systems, the KONE Alta™ offers custom solutions for office projects. Furthermore, thanks to a unique installation method, KONE Alta can be used to transport laborers and materials even during the building construction.

KONE EcoDisc® elevator hoisting machine employs a permanent magnet synchronous motor in combination with frequency control and low friction gearless construction. It was introduced in 1996 and was immediately acknowledged as an outstanding conceptual and technical innovation. Its first application was to power the revolutionary KONE MonoSpace® elevator system, which boosted effective building space by eliminating the need for an elevator machine-room. The range has greatly expanded so that most KONE elevators installed today feature KONE EcoDisc® technology.

KONE EcoDisc machine offers exceptional power and performance. Its low friction and gearless construction reduce wear and energy consumption and it is also more efficient and compact than traditional gearless machines. As no oil is required, the risk for fire and environmental pollution is reduced.

KONE EcoDisc powered elevators offer a unique set of benefits for all types of buildings. It is energy-efficient and uses less construction materials. KONE EcoDisc uses only half the power needed by comparable conventional systems. The solution’s peak starting current is 30-40 percent of that of equivalent hydraulic and traction units, which results in savings on fusing and power supply. When using the KONE EcoDisc solution, annual savings can amount to tens of thousands of kilowatt-hours for a high-speed elevator group.
