Kone Alta was Kone's high rise elevator system designed for high rise buildings. It was introduced in 1996, 2003 for California. In California, this model was discontinued in 2013 but most likely still made in the other states, but is most likely still available, but only on custom order. It is also a part of Kone's Major Projects product offer.

This model has been superseded by the Kone MiniSpace for buildings lower than 400 m, and Kone Highrise MiniSpace for buildings taller than that.
