TWIN - elevators by TK Elevator Saudi Arabia

Dynamic, time-proven, future-ready – and with unique capabilities

Part of TKE’s Dynamic High-Rise solutions family designed to raise the bar on uptime, availability and flexibility, TWIN is a one-of-a-kind solution that can provide the same conveyance capacity as a traditional elevator in up to 50% less elevator core space. A proven global performer for over 20 years, it remains the only elevator system featuring two independent cabins in the same shaft, offering unique capabilities. As well as improving efficiency standards, it enhances the passenger experience by reducing waiting times wherever high passenger demand occurs in office buildings, hotels, hospitals, mixed use buildings, single- or multi-tenant buildings and more. For developers, TWIN increases elevator handling capacity and optimizes the building core, helping maximize rentable space.

Today’s TWIN is digitally native and optimized...

...with embedded AI and industry-leading chip technology to deliver smart decision making and real time traffic performance improvements. Working seamlessly with other vertical mobility solutions from our portfolio – such as HELIX, double deck and EOX – it features our elevator systems’ over-the-air upgrades and cloud connectivity. Incorporating the latest technology, TWIN sets new benchmarks for rental space availability, uptime, eco-efficiency, flexibility, traffic handling efficiency, and resilience for your building.

Benefits

Handle more traffic

Setting a new benchmark for availability, TWIN can transport up to 40% more passengers and handle inter-floor traffic more efficiently compared to a conventional elevator system.

Save costs

By having two cabins sharing a single shaft, guide rails, and landing doors, TWIN masters even complex traffic patterns, reduces construction costs, and increases rentable space, leading to a better ROI for the investor.

Reduce energy consumption and CO2 footprint

TWIN adapts to low passenger volumes by parking one cabin when it is not needed, reducing energy consumption in comparison to a double deck elevator system, which continues to move dead mass even when passenger volumes are low. In addition, TWIN features built-in regenerative drive technology that captures braking energy and feeds it back into the building's power grid. The building’s embedded CO2 footprint is also reduced due to the lower space requirement for TWIN.

Engineered for safe two-car operation

Throughout its 20-year history, TWIN has applied a four-layer safety architecture to maintain a safe distance at all times between the two cabins sharing a shaft. The system is fully certified by the German TÜV inspectorate, has an EU-Design Examination Certificate and is certified Cyber Security Compliant by LiftInstituut.

People-centered digital capabilities with embedded AI

The TWIN elevator for high-rise buildings integrates all of TK Elevator's digital solutions to the full advantage of building planners, owners, and passengers. It unlocks greater freedom of design for architects, enables data-driven decision making for passengers, owners and facility managers, and delivers enhanced performance for elevator users with smooth journeys and increased availability. TWIN’s adaptive technologies, intelligent systems, and energy efficient solutions all work together for unprecedented precision, transparency, and lifecycle performance.

TWIN is powered by people-centered AI and data-driven decision making. It delivers improved uptime along with truly dynamic traffic performance and service management, helping to keep buildings connected and people moving smoothly at every stage of the elevator lifecycle. The new AGILE Dispatcher algorithm recognizes traffic patterns, is predictive, and dynamically adjusts parameters to the detail, going beyond what conventional elevator systems offer.

Dynamic and efficient traffic management continuously refines dispatching decisions to reduce average waiting and travel times. At off-peak times, it will use a minimum of elevator cars and can adapt technical parameters, for example to lower acceleration speeds, to reduce energy consumption and wear and tear. TWIN also supports open API integration with building platforms (BMS, access control, security) and is part of the same digital ecosystem as our AGILE and MAX products.

What's more: because it's so adaptive, the flexibility to shift to your building's usage or tenant structure has never been greater. Whatever your future plans for your new skyscraper, TWIN can help you build beyond limits.
