Schindler 3100 is Schindler's machine room less elevator model for low-rise buildings. This model was released in 2005 and was initially only available in Europe. Now, it is sold in the United States, Canada, India, Middle East, and certain countries.

Description[]

The Schindler 3100 machine room less passenger elevator is very similar to Schindler 3300; it uses the same hoisting machine, controller, flat belt ropes and door components. It is designed for small low rise commercial and residential buildings up to 7 floors (for older installations) and 10 floors (for latest installations), can run up to 1 meters per second and can travel up to 20 meters (for older installations) and 30 meters (for latest installations). However, unlike the 3300, the 3100 elevator has a more basic appearance, featuring painted or stainless steel interior walls and a simple looking FIGL fixtures lineup.

The version sold in India is known as 3100 IN which was introduced in 2011. In the United States & Canada, this model was introduced in September 2016 and it was believed to be a replacement model of the Schindler 330A, although it is still being sold. Unlike the European and Indian version, the U.S. version only serves up to three floors. In California, the Schindler 3100 elevator is not sold, because it does not meet California code.

Schindler 3100 found its successor in Schindler 1000, announced in June 2020. It is a "digital" successor, and was first launched in Europe. As of 2024, it is not sold worldwide, notably in North America, where Schindler continues to retain its "traditional" offer of low- to mid-rise elevators, composed of the models 3100, 3300, 3300 XL and 5500, as well as 330A hydraulic elevator.
