30 YEARS OF KONE MONOSPACE®
THE TIMELESS INNOVATION THAT NEVER STOPS IMPROVING
The lift that gives you back your space
It all started with a simple question on a morning jog: What if a lift didn't need a machine room?
In 1996, we answered with the revolutionary KONE MonoSpace®, the world's first machine-room-less lift. By designing our compact and powerful KONE EcoDisc® hoisting system to fit neatly inside the hoistway, we give you back an entire room. Imagine what you could do with that extra space – more leasable area, a new amenity for your tenants, or simply more freedom for your architectural vision.
From that first breakthrough to today's digitally connected KONE MonoSpace® DX, we've never stopped innovating. Our solutions don't just give you more space; they can slash your building's energy consumption by up to 80%, significantly lowering your running costs while helping you meet your sustainability goals.

For us, innovation is about more than ground-breaking technology. It's about building a partnership with you for the entire life of your building. We ensure your lifts get the right care at the right time, extending their lifespan and keeping your tenants moving safely and smoothly.
