TK Elevator provides unparalleled support right from the start. Creating the optimum passenger flow is our contribution to the architectural design process. Ensuring that all installation works run smoothly and are finished just in time is our promise of quality.
Our high-rise mobility solutions prove that economy and ecology can co-exist in perfect harmony. That's good for the environment and your bottom line. In addition, our holistic digital solutions deliver financial and operational benefits.
With single-deck, double-deck and our unique TWIN elevators, TK Elevator's product portfolio is the broadest in the industry. Our superior service and preventive maintenance solutions ensure reliably high availability, including for any third-party equipment.
Working from home is here to stay – and with it the demand for city-center office space seems to be falling. But that won’t put an end to skyscrapers. They’ll just be different.
Existing buildings will be redesigned, with office space converted to other uses. New architectural designs will integrate a mix of uses. Sophisticated elevator technology will continue to enable high-rise mobility. And our industry’s products will increasingly be judged by the amount of flexibility they bring to the future high-rise building that is bound to blur usage categories.
TK Elevator has been delivering holistic high-rise mobility solutions for decades. Our unique and innovative product portfolio enables future-proof concepts. Our solutions are based on lifecycle partnerships with our customers – in everything from competent consulting and smart planning to project management and preventive service.
To help you realise your high-rise vision we offer unparalleled consulting and planning support right from the start, even before the first outline of a building is drawn. Local experts are supported by TK Elevator's global high-rise consulting team. Involving them right from the beginning of the structural design is sure to achieve the best possible outcome and save you costly changes at its later stages.
As the centerpiece of a serious planning endeavour, we carry out an elevator traffic analysis (ETA) to predict the future performance of a given elevator layout. An ETA enables each iteration of an elevator to be refined for the best possible outcome – the optimum number of shafts, energy savings, system efficiency, passenger comfort and budgetary considerations, for example. A thorough ETA forms the basis of an architectural design that takes building mobility into account.
We help you make the right passenger flow decisions to optimise travel and keep waiting times to the minimum while at the same time keeping the elevator footprint at it's most efficient.
With our unique product portfolio, which is the industry's broadest thanks to pioneering technology such as TWIN, we are capable of freeing up rentable space in your high-rise project while at the same time increasing transportation performance. To put it in numbers: Smart planning may result in up to 50% less space needed for elevators. The outcome is a future-proof, customised mobility solution tailored to your building and optimising user convenience.
Mixed-use high-rise buildings may contain hotel, residential, retail and office spaces. Co-working areas or special-purpose floors (for restaurants or sky gardens) might soon replace traditional office levels. In all these challenges, the experience, expertise and creative flexibility of our consultants and planners will ensure you get the best possible high-rise mobility solution to suit your needs.
For us, to plan smart is also to be fully transparent towards our customers, especially when it comes to putting mobility concepts through a performance and reality check. That's why our tools and methods in elevator traffic analysis consider ISO 8100-32 standards and are 100% open to scrutiny. We even published a white paper on ETA.
AGILE's destination control system reduces your passenger's time to destination by up to 25% and increases the handling capacity of passenger elevators by up to 30%.
Providing two independently moving cars in the same shaft, TWIN maximises lettable floor space and minimises the average travel time to destination.
Simply called double deck, this is our workhorse solution for quickly shuttling more people between two locations (e.g. a main lobby and a sky lobby) with the help of two adjoining cars.
Our escalators from the velino series offer a range of design and functionality options as unique as your project.
MAX enables real-time intelligent service by preventing problems before they occur. Its additonal web-based monitoring services put you in total control of your elevator and escalator operations.
AGILE Security Access lets you control security at turnstiles and lifts. You can connect it to building management systems provided by others or use the TK Elevator stand-alone lift-access-control-system. Ideal for total control from the main entrance throughout the building.
From the lobby to the top floor, the design of modern high-rise buildings is a composition of ambiances. Elevators and escalators connect these different atmospheres fluidly, not just by facilitating the actual travel, but also by their own design. Modern material technology imposes very few limits on achieving the desired look & feel every architect and interior design expert strives for. That's why all of our high-rise products allow for maximum customisation.
Elevator design extends far beyond the cabin with custom wall claddings and matching floors. A passenger's first contact with a building's mobility solution is in fact the destination control terminal in the lobby. Then comes the building's wayfinding system and additional signalisation such as landing direction indicators that mark the way before the boarding of an actual cabin. Our products take that into full account with features like customisable digital user interfaces, tuneable RGB lighting and a wide range of fixtures and signalisation options.
The exciting possibilities include cloud-based IoT solutions like TK Elevator's own MAX, but extend much further to city-wide monitoring and control of elevators and escalators, real-time control of elevator performance in metro stations to absorb unexpected traffic surges, or promotional campaigns for stores being simultaneously launched on all the multimedia screens of a city's elevators.
We are continually expanding our digitalisation competence and range of digital tools to ensure you can move ahead in today's increasingly connected urban world.
The high-rise elevators of tomorrow will have to be as economical and eco-friendly as possible. We are strong in both disciplines. That's good news for the environment and your bottom line.
We prioritise economical elevator technology, e.g. through AC gearless machinery, minimising the number of empty or phantom stops, and lowering energy costs through regenerative drive technology, as generated power is fed back into the building's grid. Our high-rise mobility solutions reduce the energy, space, resources, and on-site maintenance your elevators or escalators will require.
One of our company's climate targets is to develop products that reduce the carbon footprint of buildings and entire cities. Our elevators help your high-rise building to go green through energy-saving functions, LED lighting, sleep mode and other efficient features. And we specifically promote mobility solutions that comply with green building certification systems, such as LEED®, DGNB and BREEAM.
Our efforts in climate protection were recognised by the global non-profit CDP, which put us on their A List for tackling climate change for 2020. TK Elevator's commitment is to reduce our own carbon footprint by 25% until 2030.
TK Elevator publishes Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to communicate the results of Life-Cycle Assessments to the public and ensure transparency regarding the environmental impact and performance of our products.
During the construction phase our experienced on-site team will ensure smooth, just-in-time logistics planning and operational oversight. We manage the development of the project in time, cost and quality, maintaining smooth coordination between installation teams on site and our factory and R&D, who always remain tied-in.
The outcome is trouble-free system installation and commissioning, for example with state-of-the-art laser technology used to align the elevator shaft with millimeter precision for standard-setting travel comfort.
The safety of our customers, employees, and those who use our products is paramount at every step.
We offer a dedicated team of experts with extensive experience in international high-rise consulting and project management.
We know plans can change, so we organise our mobility solutions around your building planning to always be just-in-time.
We can start installation and provide vertical mobility while the building and the elevator shafts are still growing.
Our installation experts are trained, experienced, and certified to the highest standards.
Usually, our technical support team is on-site to commission newly installed elevators. But when the situation demands it, we can also provide remote commissioning.
Our Shaft Climber® system installed in the building core during the construction phase drives site progress faster, enables earlier facade closing and reduces the assembly time. With us at your side you can be sure of a high-rise elevator that is completed on schedule and budget.
On par with our innovative elevators engineered and manufactured in Europe, the provision of high-quality maintenance and repairs is a core priority at TK Elevator.
