LLC OTIS Russia (a plant for the production of elevator equipment in St. Petersburg, part of the S8 Capital holding) began mass production of elevators with increased load capacity. This was reported by the press service of the company.
According to Igor Mayorov, General Director of Mos OTIS JSC and OTIS Lift LLC, in just three months the company launched a new product into mass production – an increased load capacity elevator. This is possible thanks to the company’s import substitution project, the preserved technological base and the built-in chains of component options. The company already includes contracts for the supply of 67 pilot units, some of which have been put into stock.
The new line of thousands of elevators has a load capacity from 1,275 to two kilograms, improved performance and increased cab dimensions.
According to Mikhail Ivanov, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, the new growth of RSM corresponds to the increase, while the level of its presence at the moment is already above 70%. Also, a new line of equipment after the departure of foreign manufacturers can cover less than half of the market demand for elevators.
