SCHINDLER
3300

Overview

The 3300 is Schindler's low-rise MRL traction elevator model.

It uses Schindler's "Suspension Traction Media' (STM) belts instead of traditional ropes. Schindler claims these belts have a longer lifespan than cables, and allow for a smaller motor in the hoistway.

California version

The standard 3300 is not compliant with California codes, so Schindler makes a modified version especially for California. This version has different fixtures, as well as a few other mechanical and structural changes. California installations continued to use FI GL 100 operating panels (with FI GS hall fixtures) until mid-2020.
