| ThyssenKrupp installs world’s 100th Twin elevator in Frankfurt ThyssenKrupp Elevator has received an order for the world's one hundredth Twin. It will be installed in the 96 meter tall hotel tower of the "PalaisQuartier" development in Frankfurt am Main (Germany). In addition to the Twin with its two cabs in one shaft, seven conventional elevators and a shared destination control system will transport guests swiftly to the roughly 219 rooms and suites in the hotel. Before entering the cab they will select their destination on a touchscreen and the system will direct them to the fastest cab for their journey. This shortens waiting and travel times for passengers, while at the same time reducing the number of empty trips. ThyssenKrupp Elevator will be supplying a total of 48 elevators and 28 escalators for the four-building "PalaisQuartier" development. Another highlight of the development is an express escalator in the already opened shopping and experience center. With a length of 47 meters and a rise of 21 meters it is the longest escalator ever installed in a shopping mall in Germany. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
