After 25 years of operation, the maintenance costs for a lift increase disproportionately. Installing a new machine increases comfort for users while keeping availability high. We can provide solutions for all building types with minimal building adaptations thanks to our various machine designs.
A new machine prevents uncontrolled car movement, either by introducing gearless technology or by incorporating a second safety device to prevent upward movement of the car. This change, in compliance with EN81-20/50, improves the safety of the system.
Enjoy precision stopping accuracy thanks to the enhanced and fully aligned communication between the inverter and the machine. A new machine can also help to reduce the noise and vibration created by aging material.
Many Schindler machines are gearless, which can save up to 30% over older geared technology. Additionally, with Schindler STM technology, the drive system needs less energy than with traditional steel ropes to operate.
Schindler offers machines that can be adjusted to different machine room layouts. Roping systems can also be installed according to the existing cutouts. This eliminates the need for a structural analysis or costly building adaptations.
The best type of machine for your building depends heavily on the purpose and building type. Understanding the primary use for your equipment will help us determine which machine model would be the most appropriate for your building. More information about the different types of machines that Schindler has available can be found below.
