Is a Schindler RePlace right for you?

A Schindler RePlace modernization introduces a completely new elevator into your existing hoistway.

It also address 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 20 years old, a Schindler RePlace should be considered to maintain the availability of spare parts, improve equipment performance, and preemptively upgrade components that are reaching their end of life.

Things to keep in mind

  • More than 20 years old
  • Complete replacement of the existing elevator
