Marine passenger elevators

For passengers and shipowners, design is the most important feature of an onboard elevator. It should be a unique creation to match the design concept of the vessel.

With our expertise and technology, we deliver value-added mobility solutions to architects and shipowners. We fulfill aesthetic and service expectations with fully customized elevators. Our solutions combine high-quality materials such as marble, ebony, glass, stainless steel or teak to meet any design request. 

The "smart" passenger lift

With high incoming traffic, it’s important to manage the flow of traffic as efficiently as possible. This is where our registered-destination control system does a great job. Together with Schindler PORT, the lift can be made available only to specific persons at specific times if desired.
