Enjoy a high ride quality with the Schindler 1000

Thanks to our high-quality technology and installation methodologies, Schindler elevators generate minimal noise. Most of the noise created by our elevators does not exceed 50 – 60 dB (A). This is the sound of calming birdsong.

Optimize your building's potential

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

1

Space-saving design

All main drive, traction and control equipment sits in the shaft, leaving architects and designers free to use the extra space for more productive purposes. Telescopic (T2) doors with flexible left or right openings optimize the shaft dimensions.

2

Future-ready, secure technology

The Schindler 1000 control software has been 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, and reduced stand-by power helps keep energy consumption low.

Recuperative technology reduces energy consumption and heat dissipation and returns regenerated energy to mains power.

4

High ride quality

Schindler’s Suspension Traction Media system supports a smaller motor and traction sheave.

Advanced technology and precise installation methods can limit sound levels to below 50 – 60 decibels (A)*, on average - equivalent to birdsong.

Digital elevators from Schindler for next-generation technologies

Benefit today from our innovative solutions and digital tools, which will accompany and support you throughout the entire life cycle of your elevator. From planning to ongoing operation, our elevators are designed for the latest technologies.

Energy-efficiency rating class A, according to ISO 25745-2

The ISO 25745-2 standard regarding energy calculation and classification for lifts (elevators) is established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The ISO 25745-2 standard classes range from "A" to "G", with class "A" being the most energy efficient class. The ISO 25745-2 classification and energy consumption always refers to a specific customer configuration. Usage pattern, load capacity, customer specific options and site conditions influence the final rating.

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. This saves you up to 30% energy and protects the environment at the same time.

Schindler has registered the Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) for all major elevator product lines with the "International EPD® System". With this further important step in the assessment of the ecological footprint of our products, we underline our ongoing efforts to find sustainable solutions.
