Mitsubishi Electric Corporation develop energy-saving hoists for elevators

We all use elevators, to keep our tired legs from climbing up the stairs today. Well, these elevators do consume a whole load of power and require a few overhauls to make them greener. That’s exactly what Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has been working on and has recently come up with energy-saving parts for elevators. At a factory in Thailand, the company is busy producing energy-efficient hoists, basic elevator parts used to raise and lower elevators suspended by ropes. These new hoists, known as gearless hoists, are a lot more expensive than the older elevator parts, but use 20% lesser power.

With these, buildings around could help save up on a whole load of power, using energy efficient elevators to transport residents up and down floors. And then again, if you’re looking for a healthier way to save energy, you could simply use the stairs, burn fat, and save electricity too!
