The Schindler 321A is a former hydraulic elevator model produced by Schindler that only came in hole-less models and was in production from May 1998 to March 2001. This elevator model was the predecessor to the Schindler 330A and was only sold in the United States and Canada.
Overview
The Schindler 321A was one of Schindler's holeless hydraulic models, and was in production at the same the 300A was. Unlike the Schindler 300A and 330A hole-less models, the Schindler 321A had one piston mounted behind the C.O.P (similar to the Dover Cimarron), unlike the 300A and 330A hole-less models, which had two pistons mounted to the sides of the cab without doors. Also, the 321A only came in hole-less models unlike the 300A and the 330A, which came in both hole-less and inground. The Schindler 321A looks very similar to the 330A and can be hard to tell apart, but the specs are very specific compared to the 330A (they're written below).
Schindler 321A was an introductory elevator model for the HT fixtures, which were later used in the successor, Schindler 330A.
