Two cars in one shaft
Our breakthrough TWIN passenger elevator system features two cars, operating independently in the same hoistway, for unrivalled efficiency in buildings over 50 metres high. It’s just what you need when you have common areas on several levels, such as in hotels, offices, hospitals and educational institutions.
Bring on the traffic!
But don’t keep them waiting! This high-capacity system lets you easily handle increasing traffic demands in both your new and existing buildings.
More space to lease
Because of its unique configuration, our TWIN system has a smaller footprint, leaving you with more space to lease on every floor. Do the math; it all adds up!
Our one-of-a-kind TWIN passenger elevator is the industry’s first system with two independent cars, one on top of the other, in one shaft. It gives you the same conveyance capacity in 25% less space. It also lets you introduce brand-new traffic concepts while setting a new standard in high performance.
With TWIN, both cabins use the same guide rails and landing doors. Each car is equipped with its own traction drive, controller, ropes, counterweight and governor. An intelligent Destination Selection Control (DSC) system gets people to their destination faster by grouping together individuals travelling to the same floor. TWIN also boasts a TÜV-tested safety concept to satisfy even the most stringent requirements.

TWIN
Perfect for the following applications
Extremely cost effective
Two elevator cars share the same hoistway, landing doors and guide rails, saving substantial money in construction labour and materials as well as maintenance.
Up to 40% more traffic
Its double-car configuration means now your mobility system can handle up to 40% more passengers.
Highly energy efficient
When passenger volumes are low, TWIN parks one cab to save on energy while the other car stays in operation. An optional energy recovery function feeds about 30% of the recovered braking energy back into your building’s power grid.
Impressively space efficient
By reducing the number of shafts required to effectively service your buildings over 50 metres in height, TWIN maximises your leasable space.
