Schindler projects are driven by
a commitment to quality that is
readily apparent to our customers.
Each successive stage of a
project – including design,
production, installation, testing,
commissioning, and maintenance–
is carefully documented and
open to customer review.
Teamwork from Start to Finish
Schindler draws on its worldwide
resources to form a core team of
hand-picked transport experts to
handle your project. Your local
Schindler representatives work
closely with specialists in research
and development, engineering
and logistics at Escalator Division
headquarters in Vienna, Austria.
This tight coordination is crucial
and continues until your last unit
is installed and handed over.
Off and Running
By the time the tender is
announced the team is ready
to produce:
•The technical solution, including
all necessary drawings,
dimensions, access plans
•The program spanning the entire
manufacturing, delivery and
installation process
•Supporting plans and
documentation, such as the
Manufacturing Method
Statement, System Assurance
Plan, Quality Plan, Software
Plan, Maintenance Plan and
Project T eam Organizational Chart.
Personal Attention Guaranteed
Once the project is under way,
the project manager acts as the
primary interface with the
customer, proposing solutions,
maintaining information flows
and providing competent
feedback on specific issues as
they arise.
When the progress of a project
as complex as an escalator
installation is consistently
smooth and transparent,
customers can be assured of a
successful outcome.
Well-Equipped for the Future
Our commitment doesn't end
with the handover. Customer
staff receive basic training in the
proper handling, operation and
maintenance of the equipment.
Complete operating manuals are
supplied with delivery. Schindler
provides full inventory and
maintenance support throughout
the warranty period.
Quality Every Step of the Way

Schindler designs its escalators and trains its personnel to meet
measurable targets for system
availability. The two major
indicators are Mean Time
Between Failures, or Callbacks,
and Mean Time to Repair, or
average time needed to repair or
replace any escalator component
or subsystem.
The long service life of all
components and materials
considerably shortens future
downtime. Easy accessibility of
the parts is a further Schindler
design advantage.
Prevention Is the Best Cure
The key to assuring the highest
levels of availability and reliability
for a heavy-traffic escalator is the
Schindler Maintenance Plan. It
specifies the type and frequency
of servicing for all components,
including testing and overhaul.
Since good maintenance and
rigorous performance monitoring
help prevent failures, it makes
sense to take the necessary
precautions to avoid having to
put things right afterwards.
Schindler-trained local
maintenance teams are highly
dedicated. Regular testing and
analysis lead to preemptive
actions whenever called for.
Bringing Out the Best in People
Because our employees are
our biggest asset in the global
market, improving their skill base
is important to us. This ongoing
investment in human resources
is reflected in the outstanding
products and services that have
made Schindler the No.1 escalator
manufacturer in the world.
