About KONE UltraRope
KONE UltraRope® is super-light elevator hoisting technology, which
provides unrivalled elevator eco-efficiency, reliability and
durability, while also improving elevator performance. It

by building sway. KONE UltraRope® can enable future elevator travel
heights up to 1,000 meters.

and more personalized experiences. The system enables vast amounts
of data from elevator sensors to be monitored, analyzed and
displayed in real-time, improving equipment performance,
reliability and safety.
