	Argentina saw the first vacuum lift offered commercially in 2000. The number of buildings over 200 m tripled since the year 2000, which also meant that more lifts were installed and new and improved technologies were developed. Lifts without ropes are already being developed.		Argentina saw the first vacuum lift offered commercially in 2000.
