The Pole Elevator
Innovator: Erik Kondo - 1992
The Pole Elevator is a pole based system that allows a person to ascend and descend from one floor to another by climbing up and down the pole. It is based on the popular "fire pole method" used in fire stations around the world. I used this system for ten years.
