Short but Quick

Short-but-Quick

Catania, Italy, is home to what thyssenkrupp says are probably “the world’s shortest moving walks that give customers an unprecedented shopping experience.” The company installed the shortest iWalks it’s created in a supermarket in the city’s center to overcome a 60-cm height difference from street to market level. Two 7-m-long units were modified to be in the shape of two modules shorter than 4 m. At 0.5 mps, shoppers will be in and out of the store quicker than what the alternative, a boring access ramp, would have allowed.

Since 1953, Elevator World, Inc. has been the premier publisher for the global vertical transportation industry. It employs specialists in Mobile, Alabama, and has technical and news correspondents around the world.
