Smart 001

All elevator hoistways should have built-in lighting so the service technician can clearly see everything going on.

You mean a “Schindler Mobile” I remember doing the course on them, was going to be the next big thing mid nineties, never seen one in the flesh. None sold in NZ

Do they have any of the Schindler Smart lifts in NZ that have the lift motor mounted on the car itself? Basically a self-climbing lift. Very rare, only seen a few over in the EU at one point.

I remember seeing the promotional material for the “Schindler Mobile” we didn’t install any here, would be awesome to see one

Is it true there is a diagnostic/config menu on the car controls? Good to see these get support but i imagine if anything major goes bang its a full replacement.

[@liftguy30wellington45]

They will display a code on the car and bottom landing display, I’ve never ever used it, they are like a basic PLC control so I usually just run through all inputs and check they are correct state and always find my fault on the way. There are a few things that fail on them so I’ve modified most of those to be reliable on all units in wellington at least, the machine is no longer supported so it is a full replacement for a sheave failure etc
