Frequently asked questions
KONE offers a complete range of elevator types for every building and use case — including passenger elevators, goods and freight elevators, service elevators, and residential elevators. Key models include the KONE MonoSpace® DX range for low- to mid-rise buildings, the KONE MiniSpace™ DX for mid- to high-rise, and the KONE TranSys™ DX for heavy-duty goods transport.
The right elevator depends on your building type, height, and traffic requirements. KONE experts guide you to the best fit — from space-saving machine-room-less solutions for low-rise buildings to high-speed elevators for tall towers. Contact us or use KONE Studio to explore configurations for your project.
Residential elevators are designed for quieter, lower-traffic environments such as homes and apartment buildings — prioritising compact footprints, low maintenance, and interior customisation. Commercial elevators are built for higher traffic volumes, wider door openings, and integration with building management systems, and are designed to handle the demands of offices, retail spaces, hotels, and mixed-use developments reliably throughout the day.
A machine-room-less (MRL) elevator houses the hoisting machinery inside the shaft rather than in a separate machine room above or below the building. This frees up valuable floor space, simplifies construction, and reduces the overall building footprint. All KONE MonoSpace® DX and MiniSpace™ DX elevators are machine-room-less, powered by the compact KONE EcoDisc® hoisting motor.
KONE elevators are designed for high energy efficiency across their full lifecycle. Regenerative drives recover braking energy and feed it back into the building's power grid, reducing net energy consumption. LED lighting, standby modes, and optimised drive management further cut running costs. KONE DX Class elevators meet ISO 25745 A-class energy efficiency standards, and KONE solutions support green building certifications including LEED and BREEAM.
Yes. KONE offers a full range of modernisation solutions for existing elevators of any brand — from targeted component upgrades to full elevator replacement. Modernising with KONE improves safety, ride quality, energy efficiency, and compliance with current regulations, while minimising disruption to your building. KONE manages the entire project from planning to installation and handover.
KONE DX Class elevators come with built-in connectivity as standard. This enables real-time performance monitoring, predictive maintenance through KONE 24/7 Connected Services, and integration with smart building systems via open KONE APIs. DX elevators can also connect with destination control systems, access management platforms, and automated logistics solutions such as delivery robots — making them future-ready from day one.
Passenger elevators are designed for the safe, comfortable transport of people — with a focus on ride quality, aesthetics, and people flow. Freight elevators are purpose-built for the heavy-duty transport of goods, with reinforced car structures, larger platform sizes, vertical-opening doors for oversized loads, and designs built for frequent, high-capacity use. KONE offers both — including the KONE TranSys™ DX and KONE 2000 for goods and freight applications.
