Jakarta –
India has made history by getting an amazing innovation, which is the world’s largest passenger elevator which is placed in the Jio World Center Building in Mumbai. Installed in 2022 by the famous Finnish elevator company, KONE, this elevator has an impressive size.
With an area of 25.78 square meters, this elevator is equivalent to a studio-type apartment. However, size is not the only thing that makes it special. The weight of this lift reaches 16 tons, supported by nine strong steel cables to carry this heavy load.
The capacity is very large, this lift can carry up to 235 people at the same time. Unbelievable!
Quoted from Odditycentral on Wednesday (1/5/2024) This lift was specially designed to facilitate the movement of people in large groups. This is, for example, wedding guests or exhibition visitors at the conference center.
This lift offers a very special experience. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the building and the beautiful surrounding gardens through the glass walls installed in the lift. The interior of this elevator is also luxuriously designed, equipped with four-panel glass doors, a crystal ceiling, and two sofas in the elevator that allow them to relax while enjoying their ride .
One of the main advantages of this lift is the use of a modern pulley bearing system, consisting of 18 large pulleys and 9 steel cables, as well as strong rails mounted on top of the steel columns. Even though it only works on five floors, this lift offers a smooth path at a speed of 1 meter per second, ensuring the comfort and safety of the passengers.
Amit Gossain, Managing Director of KONE Elevators India, expressed his pride in the team’s collaboration India and global project experts in designing and building these lifts.
“We are proud to be able to offer customized solutions for unique projects like this. With the collaboration of our team and key project experts from around the world, we planned and completed this most challenging and complex project,” he said.
The price of this particular upgrade has not been disclosed. But since this lift was ordered by Reliance Industries, the largest private company in India, the price is sure to be expensive. However, the design wonders and the unique experience for the visitors of the Jio World Center from the world’s largest elevator are definitely worth this investment.
