The elevators that go sideways as well as up and down
BBC Click visits a test lift shaft where they are showing off a lift that goes sideways as well as up and down.
The elevators are being developed by Thyssenkrupp.
Instead of using a steel rope, the cabin is carried by linear motors - the same technology that drives some amusements rides and high-speed trains.
