A Faster, Safer Way To The Top
The construction elevator reimagined, the SkyBuild system is a triumph of engineering and innovation. Designed to grow with your building, it gets workers where they need to be quickly and safely, saving you time and money.
Overhead protection
An angled deck protects crews from overhead hazards.
2 Working deck
Used by Otis crews to install additional elevator rails, allowing the SkyBuild system to climb as construction progresses.
3 Machine system platforms
Central to the system’s unique design, the platforms support the SkyMotion® machine, controller, drive and travelling cable – components that become part of the permanent SkyRise elevator.
4 Hydraulic platform
The heart of the SkyRise system, the hydraulic piston moves the whole assembly upward in single-floor jumps.
