The Peak Tower in Hong Kong was originally built in 1971 and has been subject to several modifications up to the current version which was completed in 2005. At nearly 400m high, the tower is an icon in the city, providing panoramic views from the upper floors and hosting shops, restaurants, and amusements to service the millions of visitors per year.
In 1995, a SPIDER TS24 lift was delivered to this building to assist with the maintenance and cleaning. After over 20 years in use in Hong Kong’s humid environment, the old Spider Lift has been replaced with a new Falcon Spider Lift FS290. The selection of Falcon Lifts through a competitive tender process is a testament to the consistently high performance of these lifts.
