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 calming birdsong.

Enhance your building's performance

Our Schindler 5000 is designed to blend seamlessly into your building. Flexible car sizes, door dimensions, controller options, and energy-saving features enable the Schindler 5000 to adapt to a wide range of projects.

1

Adaptable design

All the main components sit in the shaft, saving construction cost and giving architects more space to work with in their design. Flexible counterweight positioning allows for perfect space utilization and maximized rentable area, while reduced headroom space and pit depth minimizes the elevator footprint.

2

Energy-efficient solutions

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.

Reduced stand-by power and recuperative technology also reduces energy consumption and heat dissipation by returning regenerated energy to mains power.

3

Flexible system

The Schindler 5000 features a flexible design with a multitude of car width and depths available - in 50 mm increments. Car heights are scalable in 100 mm increments, up to 2800 mm and adjustable doors are available in 100 mm increments, with widths from 800 to 1200 mm and heights up to 2400 mm.

4

Future-ready, secure technology

A Schindler 5000 controller supports the digital commissioning and enhanced maintenance of your elevator. The connected technology enables access to Schindler ActionBoard to help facility managers monitor the equipment remotely (with a Schindler service contract). The control software has been developed based on the IEC 62443-4-1 ML3 standard for cybersecurity.

5

High ride quality

Schindler’s Suspension Traction Media system and a lubrication-free, gearless machine supports a quiet, smooth ride in your Schindler 5000 elevator. This advanced technology, plus precise installation methods can limit sound levels to below 50 – 60 decibels (A)*, on average - equivalent to birdsong.

6

Seemless people flow

Your Schindler 5000 keeps people moving smoothly through the building. With banks of up to eight elevators using a conventional control system or unlimited with Schindler PORT, and the choice of telescopic (T2) or center-opening doors (C2) and single or double entrance, wait time can be minimized even during peak hours. Additionally, Bluetooth-enabled fixtures to allow passengers to personalize their journey based on their needs.

We’re committed to providing environmentally-friendly solutions that align with our customers’ goals for sustainability. We continuously strive to innovate and implement sustainable practices so our elevators retain the highest energy efficiency classification.

Regenerative drives, LED lighting, and standby mode while parked are just a few of the standard features in our Schindler 6000 elevator. These solutions not only contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of our elevators but also help conserve energy and lower operational costs for building owners.

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are recognized by green building certification schemes, including LEED, DGNB, and BREEAM, which enable Schindler customers to receive credits for their building certification projects. We have registered EPDs at the "International EPD® System" for all major elevator product lines.

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.
