In 2022, the Finnish elevator company KONE installed the world’s largest passenger elevator, which can accommodate 235 people, in a shopping center in Mumbai (India).
The elevator, about the size of a studio apartment, weighs 16 tons and is supported by 9 steel cables, and can simultaneously transport 235 people to and from the top floor of the building.
The company designed an elevator so large that this modern convention center can accommodate large groups of people, usually for weddings or exhibitions.
The highlight of this amazing work of design and engineering with an area of ​​25.78 m² is the breathtaking view of the surroundings of the complex and the beautiful garden elevator that can be seen while driving.
The world’s largest elevator relies on an innovative pulley beam system consisting of 18 large pulleys, 9 steel cables and fixed rails on top of steel columns.
Its price was not disclosed by the company, but it was installed by Reliance Industries, India’s largest private sector company, so it can be assumed that its price will be quite high.
