One of Auckland’s most vibrant sustainable developments, the ASB Bank’s headquarters at North Wharf has 3 Schindler MRL elevators with PORT technology and clear glazed panelling on the cars and doors. A Schindler 3300AP was installed for the specific use of disabled passengers as well as a Schindler 2600 passenger /goods lift. Two Schindler 9300AE escalators were also selected which are supported on specially designed seismic mountings.
Four Schindler MMR (mini machine room) lifts, one being a goods lift, were selected for the Novotel Hotel at Auckland International Airport for a minimum footprint and reduced machine noise, particularly for guests on the upper floors. Also a regenerative drive was installed which regenerates power.
Travelling at 2.5 metres per second, the lifts cover 12 floors comprising 260 rooms. Each passenger lift has a colour screen in the control panel for displaying images. Finishes were done locally to ensure a certain style was achieved for a great first and last impression to guests. Subtle references to New Zealand culture and heritage were also included in the hotel design.
Moving patients around a hospital needs to be done efficiently and safely. Schindler installed eleven heavy-duty, custom modular elevators and two escalators at Wellington Regional Hospital for this exact purpose.
Three 1600kg-capacity passenger lifts and several 1750kg-2500kg bed/passenger lifts were included in the project. In addition a priority service function was installed which allows authorised personnel to take control of the lift and go to any floor, including the helipad, in case of emergencies.
