evolution 200 is a gearless, machine room-less traction elevator that easily fits into your low- to mid-rise building. It uses belts, rather than ropes, for an ultra-quiet ride without jerky stops and starts. You can also gain LEED credits with energy-efficient features, including energy-saving regenerative drive, LED lights and more.



  • Everything fits into the hoistway for a truly machine room-less design. There’s no need for a control closet as the controller fits into the door jamb. evolution 200 also comes with a smaller overhead and pit which will result in more leasable building space.
  • evolution 200 is supported by its rails rather than your building, with no need for overhead support steel. That means installation requires less coordination between trades, helping to optimize costs and keep your project running on time.
  • Installation is simple. Everything you need arrives at the job site in one sequentially packaged shipment.
  • Maximize uptime with MAX by TK Elevator, a real-time, cloud-based predictive maintenance solution. It’s designed to identify faults before they can occur, allowing our technicians to take preemptive action.
  • evolution 200 travels up to 25% faster than competitors and has a high max capacity (5,000 lbs), so you can move people efficiently. Keep your tenants happy with optimized traffic flow and fewer delays.
  • Choose from high-end features that convey elegance and ease. Because evolution 200 has a high weight capacity, options can include heavier materials like marble and granite for floors and fixtures.
  • Give tenants a luxurious, smooth ride. By using a finely tuned electronic drive and belts (rather than ropes), the evolution 200 operates without jerky stops and starts.
  • evolution 200 is the quietest mid-rise elevator in the industry, both inside the cabin and out. Operating at just 50 decibels, it is no louder than a standard refrigerator
