30 YEARS OF KONE MONOSPACE
THE TIMELESS INNOVATION THAT NEVER STOPS IMPROVING
It all started with a simple question on a morning jog: What if an elevator didn’t need a machine room?
In 1996, we answered with the revolutionary KONE MonoSpace®, the world’s first machine-room-less elevator. By designing our compact and powerful KONE EcoDisc® hoisting system to fit neatly inside the hoistway, we give you back an entire room. Imagine what you could do with that extra space—more leasable area, a new amenity for your tenants, or simply more freedom for your architectural vision.
From that first breakthrough to today’s digitally connected KONE MonoSpace® DX, we’ve never stopped innovating. Our solutions don’t just give you more space; they can slash your building's energy consumption by up to 80%, significantly lowering your running costs while helping you meet your sustainability goals.

KONE officially introduces the KONE MonoSpace® elevator technology, the world's first machine-room-less (MRL) elevator, revolutionizing the industry.
The 200,000th KONE MonoSpace® elevator is installed. Doubling in just under three years highlights how MonoSpace has become one of the most widely specified elevator types in the world.
KONE launches a completely new range of KONE MonoSpace® elevators featuring significantly more energy-efficient solutions, improved ride comfort, and award-winning car interior designs.
On November 29, 2019, KONE announces the successor to the original MonoSpace, MiniSpace, and TranSys elevator products, named the DX class elevators. Built‑in digital connectivity comes as standard, enabling connection to cloud‑based services and APIs, integration with KONE 24/7 Connected Services for predictive maintenance and integration with smart building systems.
KONE launched the KONE MonoSpace® 4 DX, a high-performance elevator designed for energy efficiency and sustainability featuring KONE EcoRope™, a lightweight and high-friction technology that reduces carbon footprint and energy consumption.
