If you want one that is even cooler (Well, not outfitted with electronics, still old school), the Soudan underground mine in Tower Minnesota still operates theirs for tours. It goes down at a slant and also has two levels to the car. The depth of the mine is 2,341 feet.
I hear that two tone chime and all I can think of is the chimes they supposedly have for the New York subway, reminding passengers to "please stand clear of the closing doors"
Actually, you are inside the cage, attached to the hoist via a wire rope or set of ropes. At 600 fpm, it's relatively slow but it travels only 650 feet (relatively shallow). When you've ridden on a double deck cage with 50 people per deck, you've been someplace big.
Kone has a test freight elevator in a limestone mine which is 330m or 1,090 feet. It was designed to test a new Kevlar/carbon composite rope system called UltraRope. The first commercial installation using UltraRope will be in Kingdom Tower in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and will be 660m or 2,165 feet.
I'm really sad you didn't mention you were in Hutch because I live there and I could have showed you some other cool elevators around town! One elevator I know you would have been excited to see was the elevator at HMS 8 it is an original Dover Hydraulic and it is 4 floors! Also the court house in Hutch has an original manual operated elevator that has never been changed since the building was made and part of it had a gate that could be lock if inmates needed to be transported! My grandmas apartment building has new Thyssenkrupp elevator that were installed about a year ago! At the Hutch Clinic has a Schindler elevator! If you ever are interested let me know and I can show you around! Keep up the videos they are awesome!
In my country it's been nearly 10 years since a similar hoist plunged 20ft due to cable drum breakage and no-one was capable to get it fixed. It's about the oldest salt mine in Europe.
My home town is Wichita and been to the air and space museum in Hutch many times but never saw or tourd the salt mines but looks like a cool thing to do!! Great video!!
You should do the elevator at Ruby Falls cavern in Chattanooga TN. Similar to this, goes down a big man made shaft to the cave, I remember riding on it as a kid it was a good minute or two to get down there.
Julian 6th the commitment will have a price for January to be a good day for January 9th to 9 fessed to do it again in a 8sick while you 99th much for 66th I 99th pi9th a good 9th and contacts 3rd the 99th is team of researchers at the university of typical next to me is team team of typical next to 6
I remember riding that elevator as a kid I thought that was scary but I got ride one in cripple creek Colorado I went 1000 feet down on a small double decker elevator
I watched the video a few more times, especially of the machine room footage, the hoist motor is DC. Might be powered by an MG set, there was machinery running in the background, winding drum machine is like 480 VDC or higher. @@ChristianPinnock-u5c
it is not elevator or lift, it is a cage. yes it operates similar to that of a lift/elevator, but it is cage. again I repeat it is not an elevator/lift, it is a cage.
This needs a small ladder running the depth of the shaft and a hatch on the top of the car. Would be scary to climb but scarier to be stuck down in there with no way out
This is how it looks... But apparently there are emergency brakes or some stopping mechanism inside the elevator itself. If I'm not mistaken, it would appear that there are no power / command connections inside the elevator either, so these lamps work on batteries.
I believe there are more cables but it can be supported with just one. On elevators/lifts/hoists one of those cables is designed to hold the entire elevators weight at full capacity.
If you were to get stuck it wouldn't be that bad. I'm sure they've got phones and alarms in it. Plus the people in the engine room will notice those giant motors stop.
Wow that was amazing. This ran a lot faster than I would have expected for a winding drum.
It was very fast.
@@DieselDucy650 foot it's super tall.
Hi, Im on pension now. I'm from South Africa, and I was a Winding Engine Driver for 36 years. Loved it.
AWESOME!
*_EPIC!_* This thing is A ROCKET, Looks so fun to ride :D I also like the chime when its 50ft away xD
Is it super fun to ride, the pressure change is no joke
@@ThePbatemon yeah!
SOOO FAST LIKE A ROCKET ELEVATOR
Wow that’s what I called the elevator museum, we get to see historic and history parts of this. What a beautiful experience Andrew
Cool

Double disc brake watch it
He loved the disc brake
I can’t remember, does it have a disk brake?
Christian Oshiro Of course!!!!!!
Yes, I think it has a disk brake? Geez.... maybe he should tell us AGAIN that it has a disk brake?!
@@pomonabill220 No kidding... :)
yes
Oh yea
You just filmed the coolest thing ever!
I'd be absolutely PETRIFIED to ride a lift like that! This lift makes West Tower at Tropicana seem boring LOL
Love the London Underground 'Mind The Gap' roundel!!
..
Two words: AWESOME ELEVATOR!!
it is cage, not elevator. buildings have elevators/lifts and mines have cages.
@VERNONQASQUI BENTORIAQASQI T0!3d0 it’s actually and it’s elevator
I wonder who did the voice over.....
Why, that’s you! You did great!
Thanks!
Yep the voice was awesome

I would like to go on one of these some day!
omg i felt the pressure through my headphones - they are new and I didn't know they had that many features! review coming soon...
Fery fast and big winding drum lift Nice!!
It was epic.
0:22 Oh yes.
Mind The Gap between the train and the platform
Very ironic London Underground Sign
I was there today it was a wonderful experience
That’s crazy how far down it travels!
There are some others that go even further down.
it goes 661 feet down thankfully not 666 feet

Saw the court house elevator. Anyway did several live streams from there. Had I known about u. I would have met u
Dieselducy, want to visit the Pioneer Valley? i can show you the elevators at Umass Amherst.
One more question did you like the elevator in the court house? Also, if you ever come back remember to let me know so we can meet! Thanks!
The right question is...how all THIS can be held on ONE rope? Impressive i can say.
@Dovahkiin Lol wuuut. Thats surprising. D:
Must have been the same salt mine used in an episode of "Dirty Jobs". The guy in the red shirt at the mine was the same one on "Dirty Jobs". So cool,
Yes it is me and your right it was on Dirty Jobs, Hoe Stuff Works, and Modern Marvels, I have a IMDB page
It is and the car he used in the show is actually still on display here (its a mesume)
@@myronmarcotte7072 Excellent !!
it goes 661 feet down thankfully not 666 feet
The whole 666 thing is a myth. It's not real. It's just something someone made up.
X files theme plays
Awesome! Finally an mine shaft hoist under your belt now. 😀

Wow that is scary!
1:13 That TFL mind the gap logo though!
《》Rahan2003《》 I wonder how they got that, this is ages away from London!
@@southern.spotter Probably a JPEG image printed out and stuck there.
《》Rahan2003《》 lol I didn’t think of that, but this is a nice lift! (Or Elevator in the US)
@@southern.spotter Yeah and the speed it goes is nice.
《》Rahan2003《》 Yeah! I don’t know why they call it a ‘hoist’ just looks like a freight lift/elevator to me
Now that is epic!
I am doing research on some travel clubs for people my age and already hoping I can go and visit this mine.
My home town is Wichita and been to the air and space museum in Hutch many times but never saw or tourd the salt mines but looks like a cool thing to do!! Great video!!
It is awesome. You should check it out!
"He got a Brembo brake"
"Ha Ha Ha that's not a brake? That's a brake." 9:03
lol .
That was nice of Scott to arrange the tour for you guys.
I love the ding dong bell, pretty cool!
Pretty cool.
I think I found Cave Johnson's first salt mine he bought and founded Aperture Science
Awesome!
it is not elevator/lift, it is cage. the cage is the only way in and out of the mine and is your lifeline.
The chime @ 4:00 sounds similar to a modern german railroad crossing
As Cave Johnson said: When life gives you lemons… Do not make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back!
Yep lol
7:00 Is it just me or does that kinda sound like a Spectralert Low Frequency Sound?
Probably
it kinda does actually
very cool elevator
cool tour
Awesome video!

Cripple Creek mine hoist killed a guy in the cage less than a year ago.
@@otiselevator7738 yup
i notice on freight elevator doors the little window is always on very side of the door is there a reason for this?
That was great! thx
Wow that was fast
This is so fun
Is the hoist motor DC? Powered by an MG Set or high voltage secondary output transformer with DC rectification?
Looks like DC mg powered

That was pretty interesting!

Into aperture science!
So, it’s a dead lift on that single cable with no redundancy and no counterbalance weights? Is that right?
Salt elevator so creepy lift
Dark lift inspection
I gotta see this

Oh damn it is going sooo fast if I saw that I would be thinking that I’m going to fall to the bottom floor i would freak out and scream 😱!

A double decker industrial elevator travelling 650 feet on such a thin cable??? I don't mind the disc brake. But I won't get in that cage
It was crazy!!
Wow, just one hoist cable? Not a lot of redundancy there.
10:20 - Sounds like a Mitsubishi chime!
it almost does!
Dddf
How far is elevator arrival ding heard and are there more speakers through out certain parts or
4:32 I was expecting the queen xenomorph to pop out.
That's the first winding drum I've seen that started a second row on the drum.
Yeah it was impressive
Welcome to aperature saltmines
Interesting elevator, and Happy 25th Anniversary of Elevator Videography!
it is not elevator, it is a cage
@@richardpearson58 0
So there is only one cable that holds the think up?
This is how it looks...
But apparently there are emergency brakes or some stopping mechanism inside the elevator itself.
If I'm not mistaken, it would appear that there are no power / command connections inside the elevator either, so these lamps work on batteries.
Is there a Video of this Entire Facility?
Is there only one cable doing the job or did I not notice some others?
I believe there are more cables but it can be supported with just one. On elevators/lifts/hoists one of those cables is designed to hold the entire elevators weight at full capacity.
IT IS A WINDING DRUM ELEVATOR WITH A DISK BRAKE
it is a big old disk break lol
That is emergency Elevator having a Ride.
lol
Wow 😮
What if it gets stuck in the middle of the trip?
If you were to get stuck it wouldn't be that bad. I'm sure they've got phones and alarms in it. Plus the people in the engine room will notice those giant motors stop.
Is that a disc brake?
how many hp has the motor it's massive
it was huge!
I think the guy mentioned it was 300hp
What kind of brake does it have?
Disc
does this elevator have a counter waight?
Judging by how that drum design.. I doubt it
Can someone please clarify - I'm confused, does it use a disc brake system?
Mark yes it does.
Its wierd how it only one cable so theres a higher risk of the cable breaking but even if it did theres probaly a safety device in place
mine hoists are not held to the same standards as elevators.
NO, we rode DOWN from *500 TO *1 (B499).
Yep lol
Elevator straight from Arkham asylum
If yes I will find it
What is the go hoist for
Elevator in 1923 bruh too old and i will die riding this
Why do I have a feeling that elevator to underground (roblox) and this elevator is in the same miners zone
1 beep = Stop
2 beeps = Up
3 beeps = Down
Who else noticed the machine’s motor was from Canada
The hoist is actually from the 1970's it is repurposed from a mine in Colorado.
Id litteraly be crapping my pants if they were to use the drop key to open the innerlock and expose the dark shaft
it would be totally dark
when you visit a mine juse safteboots no sandals
Is she the load test?
Not sure
Does any one know if this hoist is the X525 model or not the X525 model hoist has a Industrial disk breaking system
Two layer hoist drums are dangerous. The cable can be damaged that way. I've seen one belonging to a crane that the rope even sparked when winding.
Cranes are not hoists completely different , this work always has a live load on it and never slacks. the rope is tested every 6 months
