Optimise your building's potential

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

1

Space-saving design

  • All main drive, traction and control equipment sits in the shaft, leaving extra space available for more productive purposes
  • Telescopic (T2) doors with flexible left or right openings to optimise the shaft dimensions
  • Smaller car sizes for space efficiency and a reduced elevator footprint for low-traffic residential buildings

2

Future-ready, secure technology

  • Control software developed based on the IEC 62443-4-1 ML3 standard for cybersecurity
  • The controller is built directly into a standard door frame at the top landing to simplify the installation, provide easy access, and save space

3

Energy-efficient solutions

  • Permanent magnet technology, including a stable start without high peak current, helps keep energy consumption low
  • Reduced stand-by power improves energy efficiency
  • Recuperative technology reduces energy consumption and heat dissipation
  • Return of regenerated energy to mains power

4

Ride quality

  • Schindler's Suspension Traction Media system supports a smaller motor and traction sheave
  • A lubrication-free, gearless machine facilitates a smooth ride quality
  • Advanced technology and precise installation methods can limit sound levels to 50 - 60 decibels (A)*, on average.

* For the evaluation methodology, we comply with ISO 18738 standards. However, many factors influence the amount of noise and vibration generated by an elevator.


Durable and compliant interiors
