Hydraulic Elevators 

As part of our environmental commitment, KONE no longer sells KONE-manufactured hydraulic elevator systems.  KONE’s environmentally friendly EcoSpace Machine Room-Less (MRL) elevator technology is the superior solution for low-rise buildings that have historically been fitted with hydraulic equipment.

As the innovator and leader of the Machine Room-Less revolution, KONE’s gearless traction EcoSpace elevator:

  • Eliminates the need for an elevator machine room. The energy-efficient, low-profile EcoDisc motor fits into the hydraulic elevator hoistway.
  • Uses up to 60% less energy than a hydraulic elevator.
  • Doesn’t use hydraulic oil, inground jacks, or inefficient hydraulic motors, which means less mess, no fumes, and no danger of groundwater contamination.
  • Can be installed in existing buildings.
