Schindler RePlace

Our replacement elevators allow your passengers not only to enjoy noticeably smoother, quieter operation but also another level of passenger experience thanks to digitally enhanced mobility. Residents and tenants will appreciate the additional comfort and convenience your modernisation brings to their life. Enjoy seamless mobility with no complaints.

Is a Schindler RePlace right for you?

A Schindler RePlace modernisation introduces a completely new elevator into your existing hoistway. A complete replacement of the elevator brings all the benefits of a new system, including: future-ready technologies, improved safety features, and enhanced energy efficiency. It also addresses the unreliability and unpredictability associated with older installations, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted ride.

Our RePlace elevator solutions also improve safety for customers, visitors, residents and passengers; these elevator systems meet the latest EU safety requirements and is EC type-certified according to the latest regulations, including the New Lifts Directive 2014/33/EU, European lifts standards EN 81-20/50, European standard EN 81-21 for new lifts in existing buildings, and optionally European standard EN 81-70 regarding accessibility to lifts for persons with disabilities.

For equipment that is over 30 years old, a Schindler RePlace should be considered to maintain the availability of spare parts, improve equipment performance, and pre-emptively upgrade components that are reaching their end of life.

Things to keep in mind

  • More than 30 years old
  • Complete replacement of the existing elevator
  • Work finished at one time, rather than in a phased approach
  • Full redesign of the elevator interior
  • High potential energy savings

  • Features such as standby mode, regenerative drive technology, and improved control functions support the energy efficiency of your building.
  • Integrating the latest digital technologies into your existing elevator reduces the carbon emissions necessary to maintain and service it.
  • Thanks to the latest technologies, it is possible to achieve the highest energy-efficiency rating, class A, according to ISO 25745-2.*
