Making construction smoother
KONE construction-time solutions help make it easier, safer, and more efficient to move people and materials on site, helping teams keep projects moving and complete construction with greater efficiency and less disruption.
Save valuable construction time every day
No construction project runs exactly according to plan. What if you could help keep your project on schedule, reduce scheduling risks, and improve site safety for your workforce?
Typically, a significant portion of workers' time during construction is spent on activities that do not directly contribute to project progress, with vertical transportation often acting as a bottleneck. KONE's construction-logistics solutions help make it easier, safer, and more efficient to move people and materials throughout the site, supporting smoother workflows and more efficient project delivery.

Frequently asked questions
A construction hoist is a temporary mechanical lift used on job sites to move workers, tools, and materials vertically. Most commonly, they use a rack-and-pinion system – a motor-driven gear moves along a track attached to a mast tower, which is typically installed on the exterior of the building.
Unlike a standard external hoist, KONE JumpLift™ operates inside the building's own permanent elevator shaft. It is a self-climbing system – as the building grows taller, the elevator "jumps" upward, adding more available floors. It offers greater load capacity and faster speeds than traditional rack-and-pinion hoists, and because it's internal, it frees up valuable space around the building and allows the façade to be closed earlier.
KONE JumpLift™ has been proven to cut construction time by weeks or even months. In one documented project, it cut six months off the build schedule.
KONE SiteFlow is a digital construction logistics management tool that gives site managers real-time visibility and control over elevator and hoist operations, helping reduce worker waiting times and keep the site productive. When integrated with KONE JumpLift, it can expand elevator capacity by 15% and has been shown to reduce floor cycle times from 2.5 weeks to just 4 days on some projects.
Yes. Because KONE JumpLift™ operates inside the building's permanent shaft rather than on the exterior, it is not affected by weather conditions and can run continuously regardless of the conditions outside.
No. The KONE elevator installation process does not require scaffolding. This cuts costs and minimizes disruption to other construction work happening on site at the same time.
