*Added note:* You guys might’ve seen in the title that I’m using the _lift numbering_ to refer to the elevator. Auckland Airport has what’s known as “rolling lift numbers” or “global lift numbers”-if you’re not familiar with or can’t work out what those are, I’ll have a Community post in due time explaining more about it-and after learning about that, I figured it was a far easier system that eliminated the need to describe the location and surroundings of the elevator. In future, for building complexes with rolling lift numbers, you’ll likely see me using the lift numbering to refer to specific elevators (particularly if I’m doing a lift tour of the place). *EDIT:* TheDragonFire123 has produced a pretty-much-perfect explanation of what I’m talking about. Open this thread and read his reply to get the gist of it.
While you wait, here is my own summary. *Each lift, at least in Australia and New Zealand, is required (presumably by law) to have a "lift number". *A lift number uniquely identifies a lift. This is important because if it ever were to get stuck, and you were to press the phone button, then the agent on the other end has no idea from which lift you called from, unless you tell them the lift number; then they would be able to look up the records for that building and know which it is. *To what extent a lift number is unique depends on the building and its overall complex, if it has one. It could be unique only within that building; one building may have a Lift 1, but as soon as you exit it and go to another, even if owned by the same owner, the lifts in that building will have their own Lift 1. Alternatively, it could be unique throughout the entire campus; meaning that you're guranteed only one Lift 1 exists in that entire complex. *The latter case is what we call "global lift numbering". That means that even across a sprawing university, for example, you can say "Lift 038 is an awesome modded Schindler M-Series", and other enthusiasts; provided they're familiar with that property's lift numbers, will know what you're talking about (Bonus points if you know exactly what elevator I'm referencing and where it lives!). On the other hand, in a university that doesn't use that system, you can't just say "Lift 1 is a good old Johns Perry"; you'd also need the building name (University of Melbourne Bioscience 4, for example).
Thanks lol. I think it’s just knowing about elevators and being in the community for long enough that made me so composed on camera. I’d be lying, though, if I said I wasn’t beginning to panic internally 😅
sounds like the brake is releasing then something is instantly triggering an emergency stop hence the loud banging. Tried twice and gave up, something somewhere throwing up an error code but at least it let you out on its own, unlike the one time i've been properly stuck in a lift lol...
@@t3224.elevators_nz yeahh fortunately my stuck experience didnt involve an emergency stop, but i can imagine an unexpected occurrence like that is definitely scary. But i suppose the thing to remember is the emergency stop is a safety feature designed to stop anything worse from happening through continuing to run with a fault
Most likely an issue with the roller skate. I've never seen this before, but most of the time, if the lift has hardly moved, and it stops suddenly, it's to do with the doors.

Dude you were so chill. I would be freaking out.

2:43 The public announcement came over the loudspeaker
This lift is so classic! I love the squared-style buttons. The Doors do open quite fast though!
It’s a classic, but I think it’s time for it to go, tbh…
@@t3224.elevators_nz Kind of sad it's fast approaching its design life... 25 years is just too soon. Bring back 40-50 year design lives!
@@t3224.elevators_nz True!
2:43 The announcement chime sounds like of The Terminal Opening scene

Yeesh! That sounds about right, but man, does it seem just as terrifying on paper as it did for real life 😰

NZ Lifts rode this!
I had a same issue but on a Daka lift
Lol it’s like of the Final Destination 2 scene
