Ebikon/Vancouver - Schindler in the canton of Lucerne has been awarded the contract to provide lifts and escalators for the Canadian project Surrey Langley SkyTrain. Schindler will deliver 20 lifts and 40 escalators for eight new stations overall.
Lift and escalator manufacturer Schindler will provide the lifts and escalators for the expansion of Metro Vancouver’s transportation network in the Canadian province of British Columbia. According to a press release, Schindler will deliver 20 lifts and 40 escalators for eight new stations.
