XJ Schindler in Indonesia

It is not uncommon to see a building having both a Schindler and XJ Schindler elevator, like this one for example. The left elevator is a Schindler 5500 while the elevator on the right is a XJ Schindler VT-XZ.

The brand entered Indonesia around the mid 2010s and is currently distributed by Berca Schindler Lifts, the Indonesian subsidiary of Schindler. It is considered to be the successor of XJ Elevator, who had previously installed a handful of elevators and escalators in Indonesia through Este Indoniaga as its distributor.

It is widely seen in Transcorp retail outlets across the country such as Transmart Carrefour, Trans Park and Trans Studio Mall. For reference, in 2017, Berca Schindler Lifts won an order to supply 474 units of elevators, escalators and moving walks for Transmart Carrefour outlets; 102 of them were Schindler and XJ Schindler elevators^[1]. Since it is technically distributed by Schindler (and the fact that XJ is now part of Schindler), it is not uncommon to see both a Schindler and XJ Schindler installation in the same building.

One of the first known XJ Schindler elevators installed in Indonesia was installed at Transmart Rungkut in Surabaya in 2016.

Elevator models

This is a bed/stretcher elevator model for hospitals and medical facilities.

VT-XZ

It is a heavy duty freight elevator model with a capacity range between 2000 and 6500 kilograms, and it is capable of transporting vehicle. It can be considered as an alternative to Schindler's 2600 freight elevator model due to its lower price. Almost all XJS installations in Indonesia are of this model. A few shopping centers have large sized VT-XZ elevator featuring six panels telecoping doors that also functions as vehicle elevator.

Trivia

Although XJ Schindler products are not listed on Berca Schindler Lifts's website, they can still be requested through BSL offices directly.
The XJS logo is a combination of XJ's and Schindler's logo; the red and white globe is from XJ while the red letters (with Frutiger typeface) are obviously from Schindler.
The brand is comparably similar to that of Shanghai Mitsubishi, Marohn TKE and Otis Electric (formerly Xizi Otis) which are all Chinese subsidiary of major elevator manufacturers.
