Overview/Basic structure
The minimal electricity required to drive rope elevators is available with machine-room-less elevators which have their traction machines and controllers made compact and installed inside the hoistway to eliminate the need for a machine room.
This has greatly increased the freedom to design buildings more effectively, and, in 1998, the Toshiba elevator SPACEL became the first machine-room-less elevator to be produced in Japan. Toshiba machine-room-less elevators continue to evolve towards high functionality and compactness based on the concepts of safety, peace of mind, comfort and ecofriendliness.
