List of elevator manufacturers
This is a list of companies that manufacture elevators. An elevator is a type of vertical transport equipment that efficiently moves people or goods between floors (levels, decks) of a building, vessel, or other structure. Elevators are generally powered by electric motors that either drive traction cables or counterweight systems like a hoist, or pump hydraulic fluid to raise a cylindrical piston like a jack.
The Mitsubishi Electric-owned Solae Test Tower (173 m) in Inazawa City, Japan is the world's 4th tallest elevator testing tower after Hyundai elevator test tower at Icheon plant (205 m) South Korea, the Kone Tytyri test tower (235 m) and the Rottweil Test Tower (246 m)
