The 700A was Schindler's high rise traction model from the early 1990s until 2012. It was occasionally used for low-rise installations up until the 500A was introduced in 2001.

The name "700A" is not confirmed by Schindler documents, however, one Schindler technician has stated that 700A is the proper name. This elevator is often called "EPOCH," which is more than likely a false term.
