Feb. 16, 2015 — ThyssenKrupp Elevator will install 34 elevators and 16 escalators in the iconic Cube Tower, a unique high-rise building in Foshan, in China's Guangdong Province.
Among the features:
• The Cube Tower pushes the boundaries of architectural design, rising to over 469 feet and using traditional design motifs on its facade that covers nine vertical cubes of varying sizes.
• ThyssenKrupp will supply custom-designed cabs to suit the specific requirements of the unusual shape and structure of the tower, including two doors per cabin to allow evacuation of passengers via an elevator in an adjacent shaft, while still meeting all elevator safety codes.
• Taking into account all the units under maintenance in the Asia Pacific region, ThyssenKrupp Elevator transports around 160 million people every day — twice the population of Germany.
