630–1,600 kg
Passenger elevator load
Typical mid-rise traction capacity for eight to twenty-one persons. Higher freight and bed-elevator duties publish separately with pit and sill notes.
Specs
Schindler Elevator Specification Comparison Tool
Filterable duty tables for rated load, speed, travel height, door clearances, and code pathways—built for specification writers who compare elevator and escalator packages before drawings freeze.
Specification workflow from takeoff to acceptance
A shared sequence for consulting engineers, general contractors, and facility directors so hoistway data stays consistent from bid day through turnover.
Step 1
Traffic study inputs
Capture peak occupancy, floor count, and preferred wait-time targets before choosing MRL, hydraulic, or escalator duty classes.
Step 2
Hoistway envelope
Confirm pit depth, overhead, and machine-room-less headroom against published CAD packs; note fire resistance rating at landing doors.
Step 3
Duty shortlist
Filter rated load (kg), speed (m/s), and travel height; flag PORT destination dispatch when banks exceed four cars.
Step 4
Cab & door package
Lock finish codes, door clear width, and sill materials so dimensional stability and abrasion resistance match lobby traffic.
Step 5
Submittal binder
Package ASME A17.1 / EN 81-20/50 notes, duty sheets, and predictive maintenance options into the Division 14 set.
Platform metrics that appear on takeoffs
Illustrative ranges for planning conversations. Final submittals use model-specific sheets from the project desk.
1.0–1.75 m/s
Mid-rise rated speed
Common Schindler 3300-class band for commercial and residential towers where travel stays under roughly 75 m.
4.5–9k pph
Escalator capacity
9300-class persons-per-hour planning band for retail atria and transit halls at 0.5 m/s nominal step speed.
800–1,100 mm
Door clear width
Center- or side-opening clearances that drive stretcher planning and furniture-move logistics on residential floors.
ASME · EN 81
Code pathways
North American ASME A17.1/CSA B44 and European EN 81-20/50 callouts kept aligned with controller and landing-door packages.
PORT ready
Destination dispatch
Lobby terminals and group controllers that cluster floors during morning surge when wait-time targets tighten.
Who uses these duty tables
Specification writers
Pull rated load, travel, and door rows into Division 14 language without rewriting manufacturer PDFs by hand each bid cycle.
General contractors
Confirm pit, overhead, and temporary construction elevator interfaces before shaft walls close and inspection windows slip.
Facility directors
Compare modernization controllers and door operators against published service life expectancy and spare-parts lead times.
Traffic consultants
Validate PORT bank sizing against peak occupancy so lobby dwell and car allocation match the traffic study assumptions.
