Otis Launches Heavy-Duty Elevator Range

Otis Worldwide Corp. has announced Otis Robust, a new heavy-duty elevator range engineered to meet the growing demand of multi-story data centers and other essential infrastructure, such as airports, hospitals and industrial plants, that operate around the clock under demanding conditions. Otis Robust elevators are designed for demanding infrastructure supporting heavy loads, frequent use and continuous operation, with up to five times the weight capacity and two times wider door openings than standard passenger elevators. These units help customers reduce operational risk, protect valuable equipment and maintain performance time around the clock. The global demand for larger and more advanced facilities and infrastructure is expanding at an unprecedented rate across sectors. Advances in cloud computing and AI are fueling this expansion, driving rapid growth in multi-story data center capacity worldwide. As these facilities scale, they must be built and brought online faster, placing new demands on the performance, durability and safety of the infrastructure they support.
