Client Testimonials

Trusted by Engineers and Developers Worldwide

The Schindler 3300 MRL units we specified for our 15-storey residential tower performed exactly to ASME A17.1 compliance standards. Installation coordination was precise and the commissioning team was thorough in documentation.

Richard Kastner, PE

Mechanical Engineer, Arcterra Building Group

We upgraded 24 elevator units across our airport concourse to Schindler 9300 escalators. The regenerative drive integration with our building management system reduced our vertical transport energy bill by 38% in the first operating year.

Sunita Arora

Facilities Director, Helix Airport Authority

PORT Technology's destination dispatch was the deciding factor for our 42-floor mixed-use tower. The predictive maintenance alerts through Schindler's service platform have kept our uptime above 99.6% over two years of operation.

Machine-room-less (MRL) elevators house the drive machine in the upper hoistway, eliminating the need for a dedicated mechanical room. This recovers 15–20 m² of usable floor space per installation. Schindler's 3300 MRL uses a flat-belt traction drive requiring 40% less power than traditional rope-and-sheave systems. Traditional machine-room traction remains preferred for speeds above 3 m/s (high-rise) due to heat dissipation requirements.

All Schindler elevator products meet or exceed ASME A17.1/CSA B44 (North America), EN 81-20/50 (Europe), and ISO 8100-1 (global). Third-party certification is provided by TÜV SÜD and Bureau Veritas for specific markets. Fire service mode (EN 81-73) and earthquake operation mode (EN 81-77) are available on applicable models.

Unlike traditional call buttons that simply signal direction, PORT Technology collects destination floor information at the lobby level, then groups passengers travelling to the same floor into a single car. This reduces average waiting time by 25–30% and energy consumption per passenger-trip by up to 15% compared to collective-control systems in equivalent buildings. Implementation requires hall destination terminals and is most effective in buildings with 10+ floors and multiple elevator groups.

Yes. Schindler's modernization service covers elevators from most major manufacturers. Scope ranges from controller-only upgrades (extending service life 10–15 years) to full replacement of drive machine, rails, cab, and controls. All modernization projects include compliance audit against current local code before and after. Typical hospital and commercial retrofit projects are completed in 6–10 weeks per unit.

Standard maintenance contracts cover scheduled preventive maintenance visits (frequency per EN 13015), 24/7 emergency callback service, remote condition monitoring through Schindler's IoT diagnostic platform, and all wear parts up to defined thresholds. Full-service contracts additionally include major component replacement and compliance inspection filing. Service level agreements with guaranteed response times are available for critical facilities such as hospitals and transit hubs.
