1 Optimizing the use of space KONE MaxiSpace

2 More space in the car. More space in the building. KONE MaxiSpace is built especially for existing buildings, either to replace an existing elevator or to install an elevator where there wasn t one before. It is based on KONE s innovative technology that eliminates the counterweight. This is made possible by our new roping arrangement, combined with the very compact KONE PowerDisc motor. Since there is no counterweight, the KONE MaxiSpace can increase the usable car space in the elevator by up to 50%. Or, with the same sized car, the KONE MaxiSpace requires a shaft one-third smaller than for a conventional solution. This is a very useful feature when installing an elevator in a building previously without one. The KONE MaxiSpace solution requires only a shallow pit, little headroom and no machine room, so fewer structural modifications are required in the building. This lowers construction costs and shortens the time needed for installation. Since there is no machine room, the KONE MaxiSpace can serve the top floor of the building, without a machine room on the roof. Matches the style and architecture KONE provides a wide range of choices of designs and materials for the shaft and car interior, to match the style and architecture of almost any building. If you can t find exactly what you re looking for from our KONE Design collection interiors, you can mix and match the interior elements to create a unique elevator décor. For a fully customized cabin, you can freely choose wall and floor materials for the car interior, taking into consideration weight limitations, in order to perfectly match the materials of the lobby and landings. Benefits - up to 50% more passenger capacity with the same shaft - Or the same load capacity with 33% smaller shaft - Enhanced safety, accessibility and ride comfort - Reduced energy consumption - Quick to install, minimum disruption in building Specifications MaxiSpace MaxiSpace RS Roping 6:1 Roping 10:1 Roping 6:1 Speed 1.0 m/s 0.63 m/s 0.63 m/s Load kg kg kg Floors max.

The KONE MaxiSpace needs no counterweight, so this space can be used to fit a larger car into the shaft. Your old car Your new car 2 OPTIMIZING THE USE OF SPACE

4 Full replacement of an existing elevator: More car space in the same shaft KONE MaxiSpace increases the space in the elevator car by 50%. So, if the existing elevator can carry four people, the KONE MaxiSpace solution could carry six. This increased car size provides more convenient building access, allowing easier transportation of baby carriages, wheelchairs, furniture and other large objects. Extra room and an extra floor The KONE MaxiSpace requires no machine room, so you can get more usable space in the building. It can also serve the whole building including the attic or the top-floor apartments without having a machine room on the roof The KONE MaxiSpace is a machine-room-less solution. With the KONE PowerDisc, all of the hoisting equipment is in the existing shaft, so you free up space in the machine room and the elevator can go all the way up to the top of the building.

5 A KONE MaxiSpace in the building makes it safer and more convenient for residents of all ages. Existing building without an elevator: The same car size with a smaller shaft In an existing building without an elevator, space in the stairwell may be limited. For a standard sized elevator car carrying four passengers, for example the KONE MaxiSpace requires an elevator shaft that is one-third smaller than for a conventional solution. This reduces construction costs and makes placement of the elevator easier even in locations where it was not possible before. Depending on the size and shape of the stairwell, the KONE MaxiSpace can be installed inside the stairwell, beside the stairs, or against an outside wall of the building. With elevators using a counterweight, the space below the shaft could not be used, as the counterweight could pose a safety risk. Now, with the counterweight-less KONE MaxiSpace, this space can continue to be used for garages, storage rooms, etc. Building value Installing a KONE MaxiSpace elevator is an investment that increases the value of the building. An elevator makes the building safer, more convenient and more accessible for tenants of all ages, from babies in strollers to elderly people in wheelchairs. For many families with children, or elderly couples, the safety and convenience of an elevator can make the difference between buying an apartment and looking elsewhere. KONE MAXISPACE 5

More space. Less energy. In the long run, one of the largest costs of an elevator is for the energy needed to run it. This makes the KONE MaxiSpace a very economical solution. Powered by the eco-efficient KONE PowerDisc, it consumes about half as much energy as a conventional hydraulic or traction elevator. You can save even more energy with additional eco-efficient solutions, such as LED lights and standby solutions that turn off the lights when the elevator is not in use. A typical 2-speed traction elevator in a residential building uses about 3200 kwh a year. A KONE MaxiSpace elevator with 6:1 roping uses 1980 kwh a year. With the KONE MaxiSpace RS solution, this can be reduced still further, to 1750 kwh a year. 6 OPTIMIZING THE USE OF SPACE

7 Peace of mind for passengers KONE Care maintenance services will keep your new elevator running reliably and safely for decades. KONE Care is based on preventive maintenance, in order to detect and fix potential problems before they lead to stoppage of the equipment. Usually, in a residential building, the main concerns convenience and keeping costs low. KONE Care packages are cost-effective and convenient choices for reliable, good-quality maintenance services that ensure full compliance with regulations and standards. KONE MaxiSpace comes equipped with KONE Voice Link, which gives elevator passengers round-theclock, two-way voice communication with the KONE Customer Care Center. Thanks to automatic transmission of the equipment location, our operator is able to dispatch the service technician immediately, and calls the passengers back to inform them when KONE service will arrive.
