Schindler has launched a new lift system which offers the widest range of options available from any lift manufacturer in Europe.
The Schindler 5500 has up to three million variations and its intelligent design sets new standards in flexibility, space efficiency, reliability and sustainability.
The Swiss-engineered system features a number of innovations that combine all the benefits of a bespoke lift with the cost efficiency of a standardised product for applications such as commercial offices, high specification residential schemes, hotels, hospitals, shopping centres, transport hubs and sports stadia.
Suitable for buildings up to 50 storeys or 150m high and in groups of up to eight cars, it offers an advanced module system that can be configured for almost any building type without sacrificing valuable space.
Custom configuration is simple, allowing a bespoke lift system to be created and ready for installation in the same time frame as standard products. Design options include:
The Schindler 5500 has been engineered to be highly sustainable and to minimise a building’s carbon footprint. Its clean drive technology and regenerative drive system reduces energy consumption by 30 per cent and it is the first lift system to achieve a VDI ‘A’ rating for energy efficiency on multiple sites. It can also generate energy which can be fed back into a building network or electricity grid.
The system offers a fast, smooth and quiet ride, with speeds from 1 to 3m per second and its noise reduction features make it ideal for residential schemes. Loads can be handled from 630kg to 2500kg for the widest possible range of applications and Schindler’s new PORT technology for highly efficient traffic management allows one single system to co-ordinate as many as 99 lifts and with less waiting and quicker arrival times.
Flexible shaft placement is also an important feature of the Schindler 5500. The new Suspension Traction Media drive is 50 per cent lighter and more compact for optimum space utilisation and with no compromise on performance or reliability.
For additional flexibility, the drive can be located on a roof top in a mini machine room and there is a machine room-less option if space is constrained, making it even easier to fit the lift shaft into a building design – whether new build or refurbishment. The design of the counterweight gear also allows new spaces to be used below the shaft itself to maximise net rental area and space planning.
