KONE, trade press release, February 14, 2012
KONE delivered one custom-made elevator for the North Rankin Redevelopment Project. Based on the KONE MonoSpace® machine-room-less elevator, the solution KONE developed and delivered is designed to provide safe and efficient transportation of people and goods onboard the North Rankin B (NRB) platform. The elevator has a maximum load of 1500 kg or 20 persons and travels seven levels.
The North Rankin Redevelopment Project will extend supply from the North Rankin and Perseus fields.

On completion both platforms will be operated as a single integrated facility known as the North Rankin Complex.
