What Our Partners Say

Common Questions

Answers from Our Experts

How long does a Kone elevator installation typically take?
Installation time depends on building type and elevator specifications. A standard residential elevator in a new-build takes 4–8 weeks. For existing buildings or commercial high-rises, our project engineers will provide a detailed timeline during consultation — typically 6–16 weeks including structural preparation.
What is Kone's EcoDisc® technology and why does it matter?
EcoDisc® is Kone's patented gearless disc-motor hoisting technology. It eliminates the conventional gearbox, reducing mechanical friction and energy consumption by up to 60% compared to traditional hydraulic or geared systems. It also requires no machine room, freeing valuable building space.
Does Kone offer elevator modernization for older buildings?
Yes — modernization is one of our core service areas. We can upgrade elevator controls, drive systems, cab interiors, safety circuits and door mechanisms independently or as a full package. Our engineers assess your existing installation and recommend the most cost-effective upgrade path with minimal downtime.
What maintenance services does Kone provide?
Kone offers tiered maintenance contracts ranging from standard periodic inspection to 24/7 connected maintenance with predictive fault alerts. Our KONE 24/7 Connected Services platform uses IoT sensors to detect potential issues before they cause downtime, with an average response time of under 2 hours for priority faults.
Can Kone elevators integrate with smart building systems?
All current Kone elevator ranges support integration with building management systems (BMS), access control platforms and destination dispatch software. Our API-based connectivity layer allows seamless data exchange with third-party smart building ecosystems, enabling unified floor-by-floor occupancy management.
How do I obtain spare parts for an existing Kone installation?
Kone spare parts are available through our global network of authorized distributors and directly via our online parts portal. Visit our Resources page to access the parts catalog by model number. Our technical support team can assist with identification of legacy components for installations over 15 years old.
