An elevator that actually goes sideways
Tom Scott
Tom Scott visits ThyssenKrupp's test tower in Rottweil to see the Multi, a rope-free elevator that uses linear motors to move cabins sideways as well as vertically.
HN links it whenever ThyssenKrupp's Multi or paternoster lifts come up, as the clearest look at the working test tower.
