Overview of The Multi Elevator System
A new era of mobility in buildings Imagine increasing elevator capacity and optimizing traffic while reducing the system's weight and footprint. Imagine freeing tall building design from the constraints imposed by conventional elevators . That's what we've done with MULTI , the world's first rope-free elevator . By moving multiple cars in a single shaft vertically and horizontally, MULTI ...

The Future of Elevators Has Gone Sideways
The MULTI system by ThyssenKrupp is a ropeless elevator capable of both vertical and horizontal movement within a building. (Image: TK Elevator ) For so long, advances in vertical transportation have centered on speed. How fast can the elevator get you to the top floor of a 60-story building without making riders feel like they are on a ...
The development team for the omnidirectional MULTI elevator are confident their system will enable architects to offer more floorspace in their designs thanks to a reduction in the number of lift shafts within any building. Traditional elevators work by balancing a loaded lift car within a shaft with a counterweight attached by a rope or cable. When the elevator car rises the counterweight ...
ThyssenKrupp Builds Model of Multi Ropeless Elevator
ThyssenKrupp has built a model of its Multi ropeless elevator system that allows multiple elevators to travel in the same shaft.
Here's a simplified explanation of Three Car Group, Simplex, and Duplex lift operations—these terms are used to describe different types of elevator control systems , especially in multi-elevator ...

Safety is ensured by the multi propulsion and braking systems in the cabins, and the well-proven safety control system developed by thyssenkrupp for the TWIN elevator technology prevents cabins from getting too close to each other inside the shafts.
MULTI has been tested at ThyssenKrupp's 248-metre test tower in Germany where the dividing walls between three adjoining traditional elevator shafts were removed to install the system . The system has since been certified for Germany and is already slated for installation in OVG Real Estate's East Side Tower Berlin.
World's first rope
German company thyssenkrupp unveiled MULTI , a rope-less and sideways-moving elevator system of multiple cabins operating in loop, like an indoor metro system . Without the use of cables, MULTI runs on a safe multi -level brake system and redundant wireless data and energy management on the cars. The ...
MULTI is the first cable-less elevator developed by TK Elevator (formerly ThyssenKrupp Elevator ). Rather than using cables to lift the elevator , MULTI uses linear motors. [1]
