CarWe construct the car according to your specifications– width, depth and height – so that your bed sizesfit perfectly. Car frames make the car extraordinarilystable.

DoorWe construct the ideal door for your needs – withtwo, four, or six panels. They efficiently exploit thewidth of the shaft and, if desired, can be madeexactly as high and as wide as the car. This producesa number of advantages. Guiding beds in and out isconvenient. This also avoids damage to the doors.And the opening and closing speed of the doors canbe adjusted.

StandardsThe Schindler 2500 is certified according to theLift Directive 95/16/EC. In addition, it fulfills all relevantstandards:

EN81-28 Remote emergency calling system forpassenger and cargo elevators

EN81-58 Fire-resistant landing doorsEN81-70 Accessibility of passenger elevators

EnvironmentThe Schindler 2500 meets the requirements ofISO 14001. Both the traction and the hydraulic ver-sions display very good energy consumption values.For the hydraulic elevators, a drive system can beselected as a standard feature, which has significantlylower energy consumption when compared withconventional hydraulic aggregates.

MonitoringThe Schindler 2500 is permanently monitored fromour headquarters, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.Problems are corrected preventatively.

14 Schindler 2500

Machine-room-less traction elevator

We trust our system.That’s why we monitor it.

Traction elevator system

The Schindler 2500 can be driven electromechanicallyfor loads of 1000 kg to 4000 kg. The traction elevatorsystem is especially suitable for complexes with brisktraffic and where multiple elevators are used.By networking the elevators, the efficiency of trans-port can be increased. No machine room is necessaryfor up to 4.0-ton loads. That saves significant spacein buildings.

DriveThe highly efficient permanent-magnet drive of theSchindler 2500 runs without gears. This provides forgains in efficiency. Because it is relatively small andfunctions quietly, it represents the ideal solution formachine-room-less elevators in particular. The frequen-cy-controlled drive provides comfortable movementwithout vibration. The elevator achieves excellentstopping accuracy. And in addition, it is economicalwhen it comes to energy consumption.

ControlThe microprocessor control of the Schindler 2500ideally fulfills a wide variety of tasks, for individualsystems as well as for groups of up to four elevators.Standard types of controls are: Pick-up, up or downcollective, or collective-selective control for groupsof up to four elevators. More than 100 control optionsare available as standard options for individualconfiguration.

As option the unique Schindler Miconic 10 regis-tered-destination control system makes a particularlysignificant contribution. It analyzes the transportvolume of the entire system and assigns the ideal carto each passenger. The result is short waiting timesand short rides.

Access controlPassenger and cargo transport can also be controlledby a key switch or card reader.

With the Miconic 10 registered destination control,our new SchindlerID technology can be applied.SchindlerID is a completely new system architecturefor elevator service and access control. The passengerand cargo transportation is controlled according todemand and target group. Passengers select theirdestination before they enter the elevator.

The controls are built into the top floor next to thelanding doors, which saves space.

15Schindler 2500

Tandem hydraulic drive

Hydraulic elevator system

The Schindler 2500 can be driven electro-hydraulicallywith a load of 1000 kg to 4000 kg. This is a suitablemethod, particularly for single-system applications.The hydraulic elevator system offers an extraordinarilyeconomical solution for low-rise buildings.

DriveThe Schindler 2500 possesses a unique drive system.It consists of a pump unit and an electronically con-trolled valve. Combined with the integrated control, itreliably fulfills high demands and provides an extraor-dinarily comfortable ride. The drive achieves excellentstopping accuracy.

The hydraulic version of the Schindler 2500 alsodisplays low energy consumption. The consumptionlevels lie within those of the traction elevators.

ControlThe specially conceived microprocessor control issuitable for a wide variety of needs and uses. It offersregulated control. This produces short ride times. Youmay select from the following typical control types:Pick-up, up or down collective, or collective/selectivecontrol for groups of up to four elevators. More than100 control options are available as standard options.

Access controlThe Schindler 2500 possesses access-control sys-tems. Passenger or cargo transport can be controlledaccording to specific needs – such as by key switchor card reader, for example.

We take in the most importantinformation with our eyes.Look closely.

The medical and health care industry demandsfunctionality, above all else. We have therefore placedgreat value on functionality, user-friendliness androbustness, and have designed the car’s equipmentto be highly durable.

You select and combine the standard materials andcolors exactly as you like and need. Upon request,we can also offer other colors or materials at similardelivery and price conditions.

For car walls and doors, you can choose from thestandard choices of stainless steel, paint or skinplate,in Catania Yellow, Malmo Gray, Lübeck Blue, andAberdeen Green. Walls as well as doors may be par-tially or completely made of glass if desired. Landingdoors are painted or are constructed from stainlesssteel.

Especially in the health care industry, floors mustbe easy-care and nonslip. The bed elevator is thereforeequipped with black studded rubber flooring or withsmooth PVC flooring. If desired, we can also equipyour elevator with treadplate or stone flooring.

Suspended ceilings that are painted or made frombrushed stainless steel provide a bright, friendlyatmosphere. The indirect lighting won’t blind patients.
