Schindler 3000 Plus Lift replacement

We’ve made the Schindler 3000 Plus to be flexible in every way so that it fits perfectly into your building. Tailored to multiple applications in any urban environment, it will give your building a new lease of life, increasing its value and functionality. Select from a full spectrum of styles, colours and options to find the best possible match for your building.

Engineered to Swiss standards

A combination of pre-engineered components and flexibility right where it’s needed ensures the best fit in existing buildings and provides smooth, quiet and economical operation. The latest technologies ensure excellent energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact.

Latest technologies, greater comfort

Variable frequency drive systems deliver perfectly controlled power to traction machines and door drives, extending component lifetimes and increasing energy efficiency. Schindler Suspension Traction Media is light and long-lasting, enabling the use of smaller traction machines that reduce both energy consumption, noise and vibration levels in the car.

Developed for a perfect fit

We’ve engineered the Schindler 3000 Plus to fit perfectly into existing buildings. Flexible car dimensions optimise car size in the existing shaft, while the high variety of door types and millimetre-accurate positioning avoid the need for building work on landings. At the same time, variable shaft pit and head dimensions ensure easy adaptation and quick installation.

Innovative drive technology

The Schindler 3000 Plus is equipped with our innovative, regenerative drive technology as standard, reducing travel energy by up to 30% compared to conventional technology.

Excellent ecological performance

Improving energy efficiency is essential for reducing the environmental impact of lifts and the buildings they serve. Eco-friendly features such as regenerative drive, LED lighting, and standby mode while parked are standard in all Schindler 3000 Plus lifts. This makes it possible to achieve the highest energy-efficiency rating class according to ISO 25745-2*.  

*The classification always refers to a specific customer configuration. Usage pattern, load capacity, customer specific options and site conditions influence the final rating.

The best use of space

Schindler 3000 Plus has outstanding architectural flexibility for car, door, and shaft dimensions. Less space taken up by components means more room and comfort for your passengers.

Machine-room-less design

All the primary drive, traction, and control equipment sits in the shaft, leaving the machine room space free for other uses, and making it easy to extend lift access to the top floor thanks to the reduced headroom requirement.

Reduced headroom

The system is designed to require minimal headroom in order to fit in the existing shaft headroom.

Smaller motor and traction sheave

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

Built-in controller on landing door

The Schindler 3000 Plus controller panel is integrated into the landing door frame for simple installation and maintenance access. Optionally, the controller can be installed on another floor, in another place near the shaft or in the former machine room.

Modular system, scalable car and door dimensions

We can adjust car width and depth for you in 10 mm increments. The Schindler 3000 Plus car width can range from 760 mm to 1600 mm, with a car depth from 900 mm to 2400 mm, and the car height right up to 2400 mm, in 100 mm steps. And doors are positioned with millimetre accuracy.  

Reduced pit depth

Minimal pit depth requirement to fit in the existing shaft pit.

Unleash your creative vision

Create the look and feel you like. Combine colours, materials, lighting, mirrors, handrails, and fixtures to achieve the ambiance that fits your building. Extend your aesthetic into the lift, crafting an entirely new travel experience for your tenants and guests.

Digital lifts 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 lift. From planning to ongoing operation, our lifts are designed for the latest technologies.


Environmental Product Declaration

Our lifts 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 lifts throughout their life, we provide Environmental Product Declarations (EPD). We’ve registered EPDs at the "International EPD® System" for all major lift 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 lifts and their full life cycle, visit the EPD website.

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

The classification always refers to a specific customer configuration. Usage pattern, load capacity, customer specific options and site conditions influence the final rating.

Transparent modernisation process

We partner with you to find the best mobility solution for your facility. By checking the health of your existing equipment, we can determine what solution and components are the best fit for your installation.

Our global competencies and expertise make it sure to minimise building adaptations and optimise the installation process when replacing your lift, setting new standards in the field. In fact, installing our replacement lifts requires up to 40% less time than a conventional replacement. To ensure a smooth installation process, we’ll meet with you a few weeks before the modernisation starts to discuss the final programme of work. That means that residents can look forward to minimum disturbance and downtime.


A new era of service for lifts

After a Schindler RePlace modernisation, your equipment becomes easier to service and troubleshoot thanks to the latest digital technologies. And with more than 40,000 experts around the world, we strive to ensure every Schindler customer enjoys industry-leading uptime with minimal disruption.

Remote monitoring and automatic fault resolution are ready to be enabled in your Schindler 3000 Plus lift. A newly connected lifts enables 24/7 intelligent auto call-back service and maintenance. This can reduce downtime by up to 34%, compared to non-connected units.
