Swiss precision, value engineered

The Schindler 1000 is part of the new modular platform product range featuring high-quality components that deliver smooth, quieter and more reliable performance.

Quality through simplicity

The Schindler 1000's standardised components and pre-engineered solutions ensure reliable performance with superior quality standards.

Smooth operation

A gearless drive system with Suspension Traction Media (STM) ensures efficient operation and long-term reliability for the Schindler 1000.

Innovative drive technology

Regenerative drive technology is standard throughout our new modular product family, including the Schindler 1000. This reduces travel energy by up to 30% compared to conventional technology.

Environmentally sound

Regenerative drives, LED lighting, and standby mode while parked are standard eco-friendly features in all Schindler 1000 elevators, helping it to achieve the highest energy-efficiency rating class A according to ISO 25745-2*.

Minimum space for maximum use

Schindler 1000 benefits from our machine-room-less (MRL) traction systems and compact door drives to optimise shaft space, reducing construction costs and leaving space for tenants.

Machine-room-less design

All main components sit in the shaft, saving construction cost and giving architects more space to work with. Schindler 1000 allows a larger car to be fitted into a standard shaft space.

Selection of door sizes depending on your choice of car size

Smaller motor and traction sheave

Suspension Traction Media (STM) saves shaft space and energy by using a smaller motor and sheave.

Built-in inspection and test panel

The inspection and test panel is built directly into a standard door frame. This solution simplifies elevator installation, provides easy access for maintenance, and saves space.


Ready-made interior design lines

Navona - Functional and durable

Simplicity and comfort in your car with this robust design line. Fresh colours, durable accessories, and the option of twelve different floors make Navona an excellent choice for residential applications. Stainless steel options are available for rear and side walls.

Handrails and Mirrors

Mirrors heighten the sense of space, depth and comfort in elevators. Choose from a centred panel safety-glass mirror on the rear wall of the car in half-height or full-height configurations.

Landing doors and Skirting

How your elevator design complements your building interior can enhance your tenants’ response to the overall décor concept. We offer a range of colours to fulfil your building’s design potential.

Our protruding and flush skirting range provides protection for the lift car interiors. Our practical range of skirting seamlessly blend with our range of interiors.

Check out all of the possible interior options for your next project in the Schindler 1000 brochure.

Designed for next-generation technologies

Benefit from our tools, solutions, and latest innovations to support you through the entire product life cycle of your elevator. Our elevators are designed to use state-of-the-art technologies from planning to operation.


Environmental Product Declaration

Our elevators automatically switch to an energy-saving standby or sleep mode during rest periods. In addition, our regenerative drive systems feed the self-generated energy back into the home network.

To provide an insight into the ecological performance of our elevators throughout their life, we provide Environmental Product Declarations (EPD). We’ve registered EPDs at the "International EPD® System" for all major elevator product lines, taking an important step further in the assessment of the environmental performance of our products, while underlining our continuous efforts toward sustainable solutions.

For information about the environmental performance of our elevators and their full life cycle, visit the EPD website.
