” One hundred years after the first elevator was introduced to Korea, a high-speed elevator moving at over 1km per min has been developed using Korea’s own technology. “
Development of the world’s fastest elevator
Hyundai Elevator developed the world’s fastest elevator, ‘THE EL 1080’, which moves at 1,080m per min, and a dual-deck elevator, ‘THE EL 600D’, which has a maximum speed of 600m per minute, in May 2010. As such, the company has succeeded in securing world- top-class technological prowess in making elevators.
Such an achievement proves that Korea’s technological prowess has surpassed that of global elevator companies: Korea has now fully equipped itself with design, production and installation technologies by developing a high-speed elevator system (traction machines, control devices, safety devices, air pressure control devices and transverse vibrations, etc.).
