Rare: 1993 Otis 'Europa 2000' Traction Lift
This was found in a hotel I was staying in. We have a lovely uncommon Otis 'Europa 2000' traction lift from 1993, using Series 1 style buttons.
It's pretty much original from when it was installed and runs pretty well, sometimes there's a shake and rumble around the 2nd floor when going down, but strangely it doesn't happen everytime and neither does it happen while going up. It has a nice but very faint motor sound too, plus I just love the Series 1 buttons. It also has a habit of parking with its doors open whichever floor it finishes its journey on!
Tech Specs:-
Drive Type: Two Speed Overhead Traction
Floors Served: 5
Fixtures: Otis Europa/Series 1
Year Installed: 1993
Capacity: 10pers/800k...

Rare!: 1927 Waygood-Otis Gated Bottom-Drive Traction Lift @ The Walpole Bay Hotel, Margate

Now this is somewhere I've wanted to go for many many years, not only for this gorgeous well known lift, but also since I love anything vintage, and this place ticks all the boxes! We have an almost original single speed 1927 Waygood-Otis gated lift, with a bottom drive traction motor. Something is telling me that the buttons are early replacements from the 50's/60's, as I don't believe this ty...

1960's Otis (1990's Mod by Schindler) Traction Lift In A Hotel

This was found in a hotel I stayed in on my travels recently. There are two of these however one was out of order. Originally Otis, this received a Schindler mod in the 1990's with Dewhurst US89 buttons, it seems they altered the logic and motor at this time too, as the motor is almost completely silent!

This was somewhat unexpected since this building looks very new from the entrance, however it turns out the entrance was an add on in 2015, with the main building built in 1980, which would make this lift original to the building. As far as I can tell this is completely original, and it's the first hydraulic Furse I've seen, and the only one with that logo. Lovely motor sound too, although the ...

This was filmed in a hotel, which was originally built as a stately home in the late 1600's, then used as a hospital in the 1930's, and finally converted into the present day hotel in the late 1980's. I'm fairly certain this was a fresh install by H&C and not modded from an earlier lift. These are getting very hard to find. You can definitely see the Dover connection with the directional lanter...

    These used to be very popular in Ireland, but sadly most have been replaced. One of the only ones I know of that’s still there is the Otis Europa 2000 at the Longford Shopping Centre in Longford. There’s also Market Car Park in Tralee which is traction but has the round buttons

    Wow! Where are these located? Bennie was eventually purchased by Kone so the interior of the right lift might be the original one. These lifts are definitely from the late 1980's and have their original dot matrix displays. It seems that although Bennie was acquired by Kone in the 1980's, the brand was still used up until the late 1980's.

    both of the two on the left still had original buttons, no idea on the one closest to the call button on the right as i never saw that one working even as far back as 2018. sad to hear they've just abandoned them, it was already hinted at that happening by letting one sit indefinitely out from whenever that went. You'd think by now they'd have been required to get lift access going again somehow for accessibility purposes so idk how they're getting away without that, but when it does happen it can only be a full replacement at this point which is sad but i guess expected given the neglect shown by the car park owners

      @VintageLiftLad Год назад

      Aye that's right, I believe I only rode the second from left car once. And l never saw car no. 2 working even as far back as 2017. I think they're getting away with it due to there being an accessible entrance on the 5th floor I believe, still a trek up the stairs since the lower floors are always full. It is a massive shame cos they really are proper classic lifts. In fairness they did get constant use and battered, don't think I've ever seen them idle when they were working. Aye they'll either leave them derelict or it'll be a full modernisation sadly :( I'll be back next month so I'll see if owt has changed.
