This lift can go 8m/s , which can go from 0 to 45 floor in 30 seconds. On top of that, this lift is fully computerised (no buttons inside). Really enjoyed this ride :) . For more visit here:

PLEASE NOTE: The video was recorded in 2014 which back then it was officially the fastest elevator in Europe but I'm sure in the future there will be more faster ones :)

[@express777100]

they are some piece of engineering, best lifts i have seen in ages good job they are scenic, allows people to see how much work goes into installing lifts. great video.

[@keith800]

Yes shows off lift engineering at its best.

[@TexanElevators]

This is the most incredible set of elevators I've ever come across. It would be an absolute dream to ride these. Absolutely incredible.

The fastest elevator in Europe is standing in Berlin (Germany) and was build in 1999 in the Kollhoff-Tower by ThyssenKrupp Aufzüge. Maximum speed is 8,5 m/s :D

[@georgedearsley5071]

My dad pointed it out when I showed him the video

[@herklegend4166]

it is not called automatically its got destination dispatch and its on proirity service meaning someone (like security) is sending it to your floor

[@peterobinson2786]

It was auto-called at one point but there were too many thickos that then also called using the panel controls, so efficiency was compromised. We now just call them using our building access cards from the control panels (when we're allowed into the building of course!)

is it an ecodisc?

[@chatterbox-ly5oz]

Is it a Kone Ecodisc or is it a Kone Nanospace

[@FinnishElevators]

Minispace or Alta

[@rahan573]

Kone's ecodisc is just the motor, the model of lift is more likely to be Manospace.

[@ThorKipperberg]

the fastest elevator in the world/europe is not placed in any highrise building or scyscraper , its actually placed inside a themepark attraction at the Disney parks, its the elevator inside Tower Of terror,and what makes the attraction work and so scary. the elevator is just a specialized version of a normal elevator car, and works just the same,its just much bigger and faster and far more powerfull than a normal ordinary highspeed elevator. A heavy duty steel cable creates a loop of cable attached both the top and bottom of the elevator car.the heavy counterweight is placed at the opposite side of the loop, the same cable loop and motor that pulls the car up, also pulls it down.The motors that runs the elevator car is, 12´tall,7´ wide,and 35´ long, wich makes each motor for each elevator shaft the size of a car garage, about 3 times larger than any highspeed elevator in the world.They are not only huge, they are also incredible heavy, and they are placed at the top of the building, they weigh about 132,000 lbs , wich means that they exert 432 pounds pr square foot on the steelframe they rest on, the hotel facade is not bearing structure its just buildt around it to look nice,. How many motors are there in TOT in Florida? it has 6 huge motors,4 for each of the back lift shafts, used for the lift sequence into the 5th dimension and, 2 for the drop sequence in the 2 fall shafts, the other TOT attraction rides has only 3 motors as all the action happens in one of the shafts.The Motors accelerates 10 tons 15 times faster than any of the fastest elevators in the world, in case you are wondering the torque generated to move the cars up and down the elevator shaft is equvivalent to 275 corvette engines, the elewator car, travels at 39 mhp, wich is faster than acceleration of gravity it self,the wind you feel inside the ride shaft is fake, thats made of gigantic fans at the bottom of the shaft blowing wind up inside it.So when you are on TOT, you dont fall, but are pulled down in a controlled manner,faster than gravity,. The fastest normal highspeed elevator travels safely at about 37,3 mph, wich is fast,and are considered the worlds fastest public elevator, but actually it is not the worlds fastest elevator, that cary people!, that elevator is the record breaking elevator named Tower Of Terror ,buckle up ! sit down and relax, you are about to travel into the 5 dimension, you are about to travel into, the twilightzone,.

[@funcik1]

+Thor Kipperberg You cannot compare simple passanger lift to the scary falling-down attraction from Disneyland. As I said before, I'm following according to satistics. This is the fastest elevator in europe 8m/s

[@ThorKipperberg]

sure you can compare them, as both are elevators and buildt the same,. only thing that is different is the size of the motors and the speed the TOT attraction has,compared to a "normal" highspeed elevator for "safe" travel..

[@funcik1]

They have different purpose. One of them is transporting passanger to certain level whereas the other attemts to scare us for reason. You cannot compare them, despite being an cabin on the ropes. One of them have special seats, the other is normal.

[@_GhostMiner]

"the lift is computerized" That sounds weird. I think "automated" sounds better.

[@funcik1]

I'm sure you are smart enough to understand what I meant.

[@frostiqe8220]

kone elevator tower

[@alexrm82]

It's not the only one in Europe, travelling at 8 m/s. Since 2011 there's this one in Milan (Palazzo Lombardia or Lombardy Tower), 39 floors in about 20 seconds, by ThyssenKrupp. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZa5f6Woh81njJI

[@Itsme-mx5tl]

X2, I have worked for them and TK. TK is better

[@nn-lj1yb]

kone is worlds best elevator brand and no accidents has been happen so why?

[@rahan573]

nn maybe because they live in the US, meaning the kone parts supplied there are not tested properly and probably not run well in kone lifts that are in the US.

[@thatguyalex2835]

I was in a Kone one in a parking garage at work, and got stuck in it for 10 minutes, and had to press a reset code after calling out

[@UKN7777]

The fastest lift is 20m/s

In asia

[@thlifts1291]

Purple is an imposter. Killing people in Asia at 20 m/s. It’s a joke btw lol

[@thlifts1291]

Had to do it

[@elevator_satellite]

22 m/s actually. The speed has been reduced to 10 m/s though. However, the other one that goes 21 m/s had its speed reduced to 18 m/s which makes it the fastest operating lift in the world.
