An elevator that actually goes sideways: Multi Elevator from Thyssenkrupp

More educative entertainment from Tom Scott:

I’ve filmed a paternoster lift; I’ve filmed the strange Genoa elevator that sort-of goes sideways. So when I got an email from Thyssenkrupp, an elevator company, saying “come and see our Multi elevator that actually goes sideways”, I wasn’t going to turn it down.

With bonus footage of an elevator test tower.
