The world’s first rope-free elevator system could be set to transform the construction industry.

ThyssenKrupp’s magnet-controlled ‘MULTI’ system allows elevators to move from side to side, as well as up and down, creating vertical metro systems.

Linear motors placed in elevator cabins allow the elevators to move along horizontal shafts as they are no longer connected to ropes that pull them up and down.

The system also allows several cabins in the same shaft to move at the same time, both vertically and horizontally, thus permitting buildings to adopt different heights, shapes, and purposes.

ThyssenKrupp said tests on the system would begin in 2016.
