Moving innovations from elevator ace.
(From Gulf Construction)
Having recently clinched a $150 million contract to supply a host of passenger moving equipment for the Dubai International Airport expansion, ThyssenKrupp Elevator is eyeing the upcoming mega projects to secure a market leadership position in the Middle East
Currently ranked as the world's third largest elevator company, ThyssenKrupp claims to be the only producer offering the complete range of passenger moving equipment for airports including elevators, escalators and moving walkways, passenger boarding bridges, stair lifts and platform lifts
"With innovative technologies such as special airbridges for Airbus A380, mobile escalators and accelerating moving walkways, the company is sure to achieve the status of market leader within five years in the region. We are not only looking forward to expand in terms of sales, we are enhancing our service capabilities by inducting technical staff," says Dr Rembert Horstmann, company's senior vice president corporate communication and marketing. "The Gulf is booming and offers many opportunities. Hence, we are targeting this region very aggressively and are looking forward to be a part of mega projects like Jebel Ali Airport City and other airport expansions projects in the region," he adds
Last year, ThyssenKrupp claims to have won the biggest ever order in the history of the sector with the contract for Dubai International airport involving the supply of 368 elevators, 162 escalators, 128 moving walks and 123 passenger boarding bridges
To enhance its visibility in the market, the Germany-based giant also participated at the recent Airport Build & Supply Exhibition at Airport Expo Dubai, where it unveiled details of the projects it is currently executing in the Gulf countries while showcasing its most innovative technical achievements such as accelerating moving walkways, mobile escalators and specially-developed passenger boarding bridges for the largest passenger aircraft in the world
Boarding bridges Keeping in mind the requirements of future generations of aircraft like the Airbus A380, ThyssenKrupp has developed special passenger boarding bridges with a 8-m elevation difference between the doors of the upper and lower decks of this massive aircraft
