- Main article: Schindler 100 P
Schindler 100 P (also known as Schindler 100 P MRL) was a variant of Schindler 100 designed for the Asian market, manufactured by Schindler Elevator China. It was launched in 2000 along with the Schindler 500 P. Schindler 100 P is a machine room less model, and was not available as a hydraulic type.
Unlike the European model, 100 P had extended specification like higher speed and capacity, and it could serve up to 20 floors. Despite being a machine room less model, for some reason it also had the option of machine room above the shaft. The model was primarily catered for low to mid rise residential and basic commercial buildings in Asia Pacific. It also shares the same similarities and specifications with the Schindler Elegant MRL, another of Schindler's low-cost MRL model sold in Asia Pacific. Schindler 100 P was also available in New Zealand[1], but not in Australia because it was simply not sold there.
The model was discontinued sometime in the late 2000s and was succeeded by the Schindler 3300 AP, which had become available since 2007.
Specs:
- Machine room less traction with gearless machine
- Miconic MX-GC microprocessor controller
- Capacities:
- Other countries: 550/630/800/900/1000 kilograms (or 7/8/10/12/13 persons)
- India: 544/612/816/884/1020 kilograms
- 1 / 1.6 / 1.75 meters per second speeds
