Two cars running in one shaft.
An idea realized by a combination of expertise and state-of-the-art technology. The first TWIN elevator system was installed at Stuttgart University in 2002.
Two cars arranged one above the other can run independently – also at different speeds – in the same shaft to within a set safety distance, which depends on the speeds involved.
the cars can move in different directions, which means that they can also move toward each other.
Each car has its own traction sheave drive and counterweight, but both use the same guide rails.
A four-level TÜV-certified safety system ensures optimum comfort, reliability and safety at all times.
The TWIN system is designed for buildings with a minimum height of 50 meters. It is used in combination with at least one conventional elevator to make it possible to travel from the ground to the top floor.
The optimum configuration is with two or more main access stops.
This elevator system opens up completely new concepts for mobility in buildings.
