Enjoy a high ride quality with the Schindler 5000

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 moderate rainfall.

Minimum space for maximum use

Our Schindler 5000 is designed to blend seamlessly into your building. Flexible car sizes, door dimensions, and controller options enable the Schindler 5000 to adapt to any project. Make your building more efficient with leading energy-saving features.

1

Machine room-less design

All the main components sit in the shaft, saving construction cost and giving architects more space to work with in their design. Larger cars can fit into a standard shaft space, with reduced headroom space and pit depth requirements.

2

Energy-efficient machine

A lubrication-free, gearless machine provides a smooth ride quality. Permanent magnet technology and a stable start without high peak current supports better energy efficiency.

3

Regenerative inverter

Regenerative drive technology is standard throughout our modular product family, including the Schindler 5000. This reduces travel energy by 30% compared to conventional technology.

4

Future-ready controller

A Schindler 5000 controller supports the digital commissioning and enhanced maintenance of your elevator. The connected technology enables future benefits during the service and maintenance of the equipment, including remote monitoring of the unit’s health.

5

Modular system, scalable car

The Schindler 5000 car features a scalable width and depth in 50 mm increments. Car heights can also be scaled in 100 mm increments, up to 2800 mm.

6

Smaller motor and traction sheave

Suspension Traction Media (STM) saves shaft space and energy by using a smaller motor and sheave. Our STM solution is oil-free and does not require regular relubrication.

7

Precision door sizing possible

Doors can be sized and positioned with millimeter accuracy. The door width is adjustable in 100 mm increments from 800 to 1200 mm and door heights up to 2400 mm, with a choice of telescopic (T2) or center-opening doors (C2) and single or double entrances.

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 network.

To provide an insight into the ecological performance of our elevators throughout their life, we provide Environmental Product Declarations (EPD). We’ve registered EPDs at the "International EPD® System" for all major elevator 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 elevators and their full life cycle, visit the EPD website.

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

Transparent fulfillment process

For more than a century, we have focused on supporting our customers across all stages of the project. From design and installation, through to service and modernization, our professionals are there for you, at all times. We partner with you to find the best mobility solution for your facility.

We will consult with you prior to the offer and throughout the manufacturing and installation process to address any unforeseen challenges. A detailed inspection will be performed before we hand over the elevator to verify that the unit meets our high quality standards.

Our aim is to ensure the delivered and installed Schindler 5000 perfectly fits your needs.
