When Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev decided in the mid 1990s to remove the capital from Almaty in the South to Astana, in the very heart of the country, the new capital city very quickly became the economic, political and cultural center of the nation.

New pieces of architecture designed by famous architects have radically changed the city landscape; one of the new landmarks of Astana is a 3500-seat concert hall, designed by Manfredi Nicoletti from Italy. Its structure with slanted side walls makes it look like a sailing vessel or a rose.

Wittur Turkey has supplied a total of 34 complete lift packages for this prestigious concert hall.

The internal piazza-foyer, with a total area of 2970 square meters, hosts three round panoramic lifts with hydraulic drives, with a rated speed of 0.63 m/s and a rated load of 630 kg.

They are equipped with Osaka round panoramic cars and Luna Plus round glass doors.

Moreover, 31 complete Wittur MRL W machine roomless lift packages with rated loads from 400 up to 1,600 kg have been supplied by Wittur Turkey to complete the logistic facilities of the building and give access to shops, balconies, restaurants, exhibition halls and two cinemas as well as the concert hall.

All the supplied lift packages run at a rated speed of 1,0 m/s with travel ranging from 10 to 21 metres. They feature either Wittur S1 or Wittur S2 permanent magnet energy-efficient gearless drives.
