Schindler RePlace A new life for an experienced elevator
Thirty years is a ripe age for an elevator. Even if your elevator is maintained to the highest standards, it will inevitably show. It’s not surprising really – after all, during such a long and active life, the average elevator travels a distance that could take it halfway to the moon! It’s a good thing modernisation solutions can help it keep up its stellar performance.
Schindler RePlace is an elevator modernisation package for elevators reaching an advanced age. It offers your system a complete overhaul, giving you the benefits of a brand-new elevator in an existing hoistway.
What is Schindler RePlace?
Picture a screen. Now picture a screen from 30 years ago. Remember how difficult it was to move those bulky, curved monstrosities, how quickly your eyes got tired, how much energy they consumed. Good thing they became safer, easier to service and more energy efficient, isn’t it? The same goes for elevators.
A lot changes over 30 years – from technologies to standards to regulations. While maintenance supports the necessary upkeep of your system by offering a 1:1 replacement of components, modernisation upgrades and future-proofs your elevator to maximise uptime, make your elevator safer, easier to service and more energy efficient, and secure spare part availability.
The package
Schindler RePlace upgrades every part of your elevator with unparalleled flexibility. Customisable car sizes, door dimensions, and controller options enable our Schindler RePlace elevators to adapt to a wide range of spaces, keeping building impact to a minimum.
Your machine room is completely refurbished, with motor, controller, and inverter upgrades included, making your elevator safer, quieter, and more energy-efficient than ever. Space-saving machine-room-less and mini-machine-room designs are available as well.
Car and doors are tailored to fit your existing shaft and positioned with precision down to the millimeter to avoid costly building reworks. These upgraded parts feature durable and sustainable materials, state-of-the-art multimedia passenger fixtures, and energy-saving electronic components.
Naturally, everything in between – electrical works, hoisting technology, and suspension technology – also gets an upgrade. All wiring, cables, connectors, and switches are completely replaced as part of any Schindler modernisation offering, Schindler RePlace included.
Future-proof investment
Schindler RePlace is the optimal solution for building owners and facility managers looking to invest in their property and enhance the overall building experience.
All Schindler RePlace elevators include basic connectivity features that allow remote troubleshooting and smart maintenance. Depending on your building type, scale, needs, and budget, you might choose to further enrich your digital infrastructure – with a passenger app, multimedia screens, or even advanced access and traffic management systems.
New fixtures and interior designs can convert an elevator into your building’s next architectural gem. With a multitude of colors and textures to choose from, your elevator can live up to your most audacious vision.
Schindler RePlace expands possibilities, taking an elevator well beyond the functional box that simply moves people and goods from floor A to floor B. Let’s work together to get the best out of your elevator – whether it’s a Schindler original installation or another brand.
