Schindler ReStore For a lift that’s been around the block

Your lift travels a lot. How far do you think it goes in 15 years? A few hundred kilometres? A couple of thousand, maybe? Aim higher! Even a modest residential lift in an apartment block will run up to almost 100,000 kilometres.

To put this into perspective, picture the great Swiss Matterhorn mountain towering up 4.47 km. Put another one on top of it. And another one. Keep going until you’ve got 22,000 Matterhorn's. That’s how far a standard residential lift travels over 15 years. Needless to say, lifts need sustainable solutions to stay in top shape over time.

That’s why we're introducing Schindler ReStore, a modernisation package featuring a new controller, inverter, and fixtures – the essential parts of your lift most likely to be first in line for an upgrade.

What is Schindler ReStore?

Cast your mind back 15 years. Smartphones were a clumsy and exotic novelty and no-one took electric cars seriously. How times have changed. Lifts have evolved too, becoming more reliable, sustainable, and convenient every year.

At Schindler, we’ve been around for a while – over 150 years in fact – so we know that electrical components and software are the first to become outdated in any lift system. We also know that rather than simply replacing them, the smart approach is to upgrade your lift using the latest controller, inverter, and fixture technology.

That way, you’re not just maintaining your equipment’s health – you’re making it future-proof, boosting its performance, prolonging its life and lowering its energy consumption.
 

The package

Let’s take a look at how the individual parts of the Schindler ReStore package help achieve this.

Controller – your lift’s brain. By upgrading it, you make sure your unit stays reliable, performs safely, and operates efficiently. A new controller is also your gateway to the exciting world of lift connectivity – from real-time equipment monitoring to remote recovery – and even multimedia solutions for your cabin.

The inverter ensures smooth and precise lift operation, particularly critical for passengers with limited mobility. A modern inverter can also significantly improve a unit’s efficiency thanks to regenerative technology and other innovations.

Fixtures take passenger lift interaction to the next level. Modern car and landing panels enhance the look and feel of the unit while ensuring your equipment is up-to-date with the latest safety and accessibility standards.

Electrical works are a lift’s neural system. All the wiring, travelling cables, connectors, and switches get a complete overhaul as part of Schindler ReStore.
 

The eco-friendly and cost-effective option

Schindler offers a sustainable and affordable solution. Instead of completely rebuilding the system, we upgrade only the components critical for future-proof operation. This surgical approach minimises lift downtime, keeping tenants happy, and avoiding unnecessary costs, work, and waste, contributing to a more sustainable building landscape.

Schindler ReStore offers a wide set of options for any building type, scale, and budget. They all ensure that updated parts meet high performance and safety standards, offering a budget-friendly alternative while ensuring our award-winning quality.

And yes, Schindler ReStore is a solution for any lift brand!
