Foreign media reported recently, Finland kone elevator company developed the super solid carbon fiber ropes, known as "super rope", can replace the current use of wire rope, make a revolutionary change to the skyscraper elevator. This is a revolutionary technological breakthrough that will allow the world's skyscrapers to be twice as long.

As the height of the building continues to rise, more steel elevator lifts are needed to improve safety. For example, in an elevator shaft about 500 meters, up to 3/4 of the power needed to lift the elevator is consumed by the rope. The super rope allows the elevator to rise more than one kilometre, and by raising the height of the skyscraper, this super-strong rope can transform the horizon and provide more living space. And the super rope is as strong as the steel cable and lighter, and it can reduce the weight of the elevator rope by about 90 percent. For example, in an elevator shaft about 400 meters, the rope weighs nearly 19 tons and weighs less than 10 tons if carbon fiber ropes are used.

Industry insiders say this is a revolutionary technological breakthrough that not only increases the height but also increases energy consumption and material efficiency.
