THE TIMELESS INNOVATION THAT NEVER STOPS IMPROVING

The elevator that gives you back your space

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.
