Ultra Rope: replacement lift cable that can reach a maximum length of 1 km

Gee, ya just know that it turns out the maximum length of the cable to lift it apparently can not be more than 500 m so that the building has a high over the need to use 2 different luft to reach the floor height of 500 m.

Fortunately elevator company Kone has created what is called a cable replacement for UltraRope the lift can reach a length of 1 km, fairly lightweight and more powerful.


UltraRope that uses carbon fiber material and coated with a layer of plastic, has a form that is different from the usual elevator cable, the shape itself is more like a thin sheet of iron.

UltraRope also claimed to reduce electricity usage charges up to 15% - 45% which is precisely the higher the building the more efficient use of electricity.

Another plus, UltraRope not need lubricated with grease, such as the regular lift cables and less sensitive to movement.

Unfortunately not yet been told, whether it would be cheaper or much more expensive than regular elevator cable.
