KONE UltraRope® and JumpLift™

Elevating sustainability and efficiency in Australian architecture

In the dynamic landscape of Australian architecture, innovation and sustainability are paramount. This is where KONE, a global leader in elevators and escalators that provide sustainable and innovative people-flow solutions in buildings of any size, steps in.

This article about KONE’s transformative solutions focuses on two groundbreaking offerings, UltraRope and JumpLift, and explores how they are making a significant impact in the Australian construction industry.

UltraRope: reaching new heights

As cities vertically expand, the need for more efficient vertical transportation solutions steadily increases. KONE’s lightweight and high-tech carbon-fiber core rope, UltraRope, is revolutionizing elevator technology and enabling architects and builders to design taller and more energy-efficient buildings.

A prime example of UltraRope’s prowess is the iconic Australia 108 in Melbourne. This residential tower, the tallest in the Southern hemisphere, incorporates KONE’s UltraRope technology to ensure smooth and efficient vertical transportation. It’s not just about reaching new heights; it’s about doing so sustainably and efficiently.

JumpLift: elevating construction efficiency

In the construction industry, time is money. KONE’s JumpLift system addresses this by providing dedicated lifts that are exclusively for construction materials and personnel. This innovative approach accelerates the construction process, significantly reducing both downtime and costs. Australia 108 and similar projects have harnessed the power of JumpLift to enable builders to ascend to new heights efficiently – and swiftly.

Sustainability is not an afterthought for KONE; it’s woven into the fabric of its solutions. Both UltraRope and JumpLift are designed with energy efficiency in mind, aligning seamlessly with the sustainability goals of companies and builders. By reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions, these technologies play a pivotal role in creating a greener, more sustainable built environment across Australia.

KONE: a trusted partner for timely project delivery

KONE doesn’t just provide cutting-edge technology. Its team of experts closely collaborates with architects, builders, and developers, offering invaluable insights and support.

In addition to its experienced teams, KONE offers a suite of online tools to assist builders and architects in project planning and execution. KONE Elevator Planner, KONE Car Designer, and KONE JumpLift Calculator are just a few digital tools that simplify the planning process.

In summary, KONE stands out as a beacon of innovation and sustainability in Australian architecture. UltraRope and JumpLift technologies, backed by a team of experts and a suite of online planning tools, empower builders and architects to create smarter and more sustainable structures of any size or scale.

KONE’s commitment to delivering your projects on time, within budget, and with a focus on energy efficiency makes it a reliable partner in the pursuit of a greener and more efficient built environment in Australia. kone.com.au
