KONE Laneis an award winning reimagination of turnstile and access control design. It reduces floor space requirement by 90% compared to traditional turnstiles,made possible by the "Time of Flight" sensors that improved security and adaptability.

KONE UltraRopes™is up to 90% lighter than the traditional steel ropes,no oil is needed so no hazardous waste is created at the end of its life. The lightweight carbon fiber core can travel double the distance,has unprecedented durability,and gives up to 20% energy savings.KONE UltraRope™ is being installed at Marina Bay Sands,Singapore.

KONE Jumplift™is a unique solution that speeds up people and goods flow during construction.
