AbstractIt goes without saying that in Hong Kong, efficient vertical transportation has become an essential factor in a commercial building's success. In the high-rise society, where even the merest hints at inefficiency such as overly lengthy waiting and journey times can come up in rental negotiations, an emphasis on intelligent and efficient design has come to the fore. The article provides company profiles and showcases several disparate aspects of the vertical transportation industry. The companies are Otis Elevator Company (Hong Kong) Limited, Shan On Engineering, KONE, and Ryoden Lift & Escalator (RLE) Company Limited.
