Times Square - Modern and versatile

Park Avenue - Sophisticated and elegant

Discover pure elegance with back painted glass walls or choose wood laminate to create a more contemporary ambiance. The optional wave design, a rounded transition from ceiling to rear wall, gives your car a unique appearance. An additional highlight is a gold or silver shimmer from our metallic glass collection or a brushed bronze or satinated grey finish on stainless steel. Matched lighting perfects the stylish design of this lift – an ideal fit for representative buildings like high-end residential, hotels and offices.

Environmental Product Declaration

Our lifts automatically switch to an energy-saving standby or sleep mode during rest periods. In addition, our regenerative drive systems feed the self-generated energy back into the network.

To provide an insight into the ecological performance of our lifts throughout their life, we provide Environmental Product Declarations (EPD). We’ve registered EPDs at the "International EPD® System" for all major lift product lines, taking an important further step in the assessment of the environmental performance of our products, while underlining our continuous efforts toward sustainable solutions.

For information about the environmental performance of our lifts and their full life cycle, visit the EPD website.

Energy-efficiency rating class A, according to ISO 25745-2.

The classification always refers to a specific customer configuration. Usage pattern, load capacity, customer specific options and site conditions influence the final rating.

Transparent fulfillment process

For more than a century, we have focused on supporting our customers across all stages of the project. From design and installation, through to service and modernisation, our professionals are there for you, at all times. We partner with you to find the best mobility solution for your facility.

We will consult with you prior to the offer and throughout the manufacturing and installation process to address any unforeseen challenges. A detailed inspection will be performed before we hand over the lift to verify that the unit meets our high quality standards.

Our aim is to ensure the delivered and installed Schindler 5500 perfectly fits your needs.
