A Massive Dover Hydraulic Freight Elevator with JimLiElevators

Riding the amazing 16,000# (8 ton) freight elevator with JimLiElevators in Austin, Texas, and for a Dover Impulse freight elevator, this one is totally epic in so many ways. The nice blue cab, the roaring 200HP dry motor, the huge size, and the double cylinder propulsion!

This was very cool.

That is a huge freight elevator! Great find and thanks for filming this.

Where’s is the Dover buzzer

[@ElevatorsInternational]

This elevator is so cool and massive.

[@CenTexElevators489]

Indeed, 16000 lbs, which is the same as 8 tons means that this can lift the same capacity as 8 VW Beetles if they each weigh a ton (2000#).

It certainly is a Dover hydraulic motor, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Dover and Montgomery used some interchangeable parts that could be used on both brands. Also, while Hunter-Hayes was a Dover distributor, they were a Montgomery distributor for a brief time as well.

CaptainElevator42189 Ik but the Pitch sounds like it

[@TheMatsushitaMan]

The first Impulse ever with a Supernova motor.

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

Sounds like a Montgomery Dry Powered Motor!!

[@CenTexElevators489]

Indeed, there are some Impulse elevators with Supernova motors, but this one was also deep pitched, and as with building, the name is undisclosed for safety reasons.

[@TheMatsushitaMan]

Impulses with SUPERNOVA Motors? Where?

[@bryanschlippjr4894]

These were installed in 2001

[@Spaceshotx7]

This has to be a convention center or museum of some sort. What type of establishment would have such a giant freight elevator with a 10000ib+ capacity?

[@TheMatsushitaMan]

The SUPERNOVA MOTOR!

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

It shouldn't be 200 HP. It's probably like 120 according to Macy's WS Freight that is 8,000 Pounds and I double it

[@bradenrobison1969]

This is at the Austin Texas History Museum.

[@janeeleanorknight8688]

While I love the spaciousness of the freight elevator, I hate the buzzer that sounds when the doors close.

[@CenTexElevators489]

Yes, I like the standard beeper and familiar door motor sound of Peelle doors more than the other brands.

[@shmulstvgone3169]

Installed c. 2001 making this ThyssenDover

[@JimLiElevators]

In the title, it's "JimLiElevators", not "Jim Li Elevators".

[@darrena4708]

***** oh ok

[@mountaincentralelevatorsmore]

I love it

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

Darren A WTF!?!? He wasn't talking to you
