Great video, it's great to see what kind of elevator's you have across the pond in the US. Hydro elevators aren't really common here in the UK as far as I'm aware, we mostly have traction ones. What type do you prefer Traction or Hydro? Happy New Year, Hope this year is a much better one for us all 👌
Glad you enjoyed this tour! Hydraulics are very common over here, though we are starting to see more traction on newer installs. It really depends on the elevator for what I prefer. I really love old traction systems, but the old rotary rotaflow hydraulics are awesome as well.
@@stlelevators I've only ever Ridden three Hydraulic elevator's, a Dover Impulse at the hotel we stayed on our holidays to Orlando in 2010, 2015 and 2019, however in 2019, they'd been modded by Thyssenkrupp and had different fixtures, and 2 old glass Otis ones in my local town centre, 1 of which was when I was a kid/teenager and no longer exists, the other one is currently out of service, I'm assuming due to Covid. We also have some old Otis Traction elevators in the town centre too, they're quite fast and are still mostly original, the only mod they added was a separate COP panel that features voice to make them compliant with latest regulations, but all the original fixtures are still there and work, they'd have been installed in the late 80's before I was even born. Yeah I can understand what you mean about it depends on the elevator, I like elevators and love watching vids of them that enthusiasts like yourself make, even though I'm not an elevator enthusiast myself and don't know loads about them 👍 Otis elevators are my favourite👌 What elevator manufacturer is your favourite? 😁
@@stlelevators And maybe sometime with you, Andrew , Aaron and Evan. Also, I had this dream that I was with you guys especially at the elmwood parking garage and it happened that morning on June 9, last year of 2021. And I was happy to have that good ol dream.
Cool! I’m looking forward to this! Mind me asking, what about the Roanoke Station Garage with the Black Button Dover? Is it defunct? broken? Or ripped out?
That’s a darn shame. It really seemed like a nice elevator. Hopefully if ThyssenKrupp modernizes it, they can give you parts for it like what they did at Elmwood. If it happens though.
Not quite. Some old elevator filmers who filmed those garages before the modernization of those elevators knew that was going to happen. At least the Elmwood Garage kept the old US bell lanterns during the modernization.
It's basically the same idea as an overhead traction, but instead of the motor being on the top, it is on the bottom floor off to the side. The roping is a bit different on them as well.
That is unfortunate that the Roanoke station (carpark) garage elevator is now defunct. I have heard that the condition and security of the entire garage is poor.
Elmwood doesn't how to do this because what is not going to do anything because it will be the elevator will be destroyed and the whole garage with be destroyed the park car lots not rest of the parking lot every
@@stlelevators it’s 30 years old now but I’ve seen lots of 30 year old elevators in much better shape than that I really like old Dovers but they could’ve kept the market garage elevator in better shape
Jason, I also wish you were on yo gabba gabba on the same episode in which Andrew teaches the gabba’s about elevators only you Jason will be a new dancey dance friend to teach the gabba’s a new dancey dance
10:14 It’s very hard to keep those impulse HIGHdraulics full of oil because the packing seals and power units tend to leak. The fact that a parking deck is able to keep it not low on oil most of the time is kind of an accomplishment because every other Dover HIGHdraulic elevator I’ve ridden was a varying degree of low on oil
This will be the most epic elevator tour I’ve seen on RUclips can’t wait!
Was this better or Diselducy’s w the steps
VERY GOOD VIDEO! Keep it up Andrew and Jason!
Thanks! :)
Uh
@Ignacia Bynam ok I’ll try it ;)
@@stlelevators stay away from spam or else jail time
This is going to be epic!
13:08 This elevator is still relay logic controlled!
I had fun when this was being premiered! Keep up the great work Jason, Andrew, Evan, and Aaron!
Very good.

Hello @@stlelevators
This was an awesome tour
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ooooo! Can’t wait to watch this!
Thyssenkrupp is my favorite elevator brand name. I’m hoping to go film those elevators in Roanoke one day.
Hopefully you can!
@@stlelevators And maybe sometime with you, Andrew , Aaron and Evan. Also, I had this dream that I was with you guys especially at the elmwood parking garage and it happened that morning on June 9, last year of 2021. And I was happy to have that good ol dream.

She's pretty much done for.
That’s a darn shame. It really seemed like a nice elevator. Hopefully if ThyssenKrupp modernizes it, they can give you parts for it like what they did at Elmwood. If it happens though.
That garage is privately owned. It's probably gonna sit and rot. :(
@@mitchellarmstrong3759 So it's no longer accessible to the public?
@@exoticcar5482 It's privately owned. Not sure if it's been fenced off or what.
I remember hitting up most of these garages, of course that was the one trip my memory card failed on me :( Awesome video!
nooooooo
@@stlelevators noooooo has a prompt to translate to English lol
@@EASsirenVids01 What? lol
@@stlelevators it did last time but this time I don’t see it.
@@EASsirenVids01 Has it for me. RUclips’s translate system still isn’t oerfect
We all know and love all of these famous elevators.
Yep!
At 38:15, this could have added an outside floor indicator.
ThyssenKrupp modernized the elevators at the Church Avenue and Elmwood Parking Garages as an excuse so more people can embrace the grocery beep.
Not quite. Some old elevator filmers who filmed those garages before the modernization of those elevators knew that was going to happen. At least the Elmwood Garage kept the old US bell lanterns during the modernization.
I did find an elevator at an Omaha college campus parking garage that’s related to 2 of the elevators featured here.
@STLELEVATORS Everybody knows and in love with the Dover elevators
Which ones?
@@stlelevators Dover impulse
Oh yeah it’s the market parking garage
@@stlelevators yes
Btw Jason you should go to the powerhouse and film that fright elevator the powerhouse looks like a playground slide right Jason
What about the Roanoke station / The Car Park?
It’s not owned by the city and it’s dead
Earth
9:13 I heard an up arrow playing twice
What the best motor you ever heard and how many people in all were on the stream and when is your next live stream
I would like to know the music you use at the beginning of the video.
Which video is better this one or Andrew’s with the steps
In the Church Ave. Garage, why does one bank go up A-B and the other B-A?
It's the way the garage is laid out. One side is higher up than the other relative to the other bank of elevators.
Where in Roanoke is the Market Square walkway? Update: I found it.
I have unfortunately heard market parking garage is to be modernised into a ThyssenKrupp with a TAC 32 sometime this year
Nope.
Why does Elmwood garage elevators motor so bumby?
Wonder why the chimes on most of these are no longer working
The first elevator of the market parking garage latern chime is burned out or silenced
They have high-pressure sodium lights in that garage.
Do you think that Dover elevator in the 3rd garage will be modernized
Maybe someday.
I've seen several conflicts saying the Center in the Square garage's elevator is from 1981 or 1982, which year is it from?
Could have started in 81 and finished in 82. Seeing what the data plate says would confirm.
What kind of fixtures are in the Tower Garage?
Epco
I missed out all the parking garage elevators except for margret garage
Has the Montgomery at the church ave been modded to a TK?
Not yet
@@stlelevators Good. If I can hopefully go to roanoke, I can film that car park
Better hurry, It's gonna be moded soon!
23:51 ahh the classic Dover button
The walkway has a Schindler 300A from the 90s to 00s
What’s happening to the escalators at the walkway? I heard they are getting ripped out.
They’re gone
@@stlelevators what's replacing them?
Is the Elmwood TK hitting the pickup rollers or something?
Sounds like something with the roller
@@stlelevators didn’t do that when it was a US
The U.S. was the city’s most reliable elevator. The TK mod made it the least reliable.😢
How do bottom drive traction elevators work?
It's basically the same idea as an overhead traction, but instead of the motor being on the top, it is on the bottom floor off to the side. The roping is a bit different on them as well.
The car park Is now called the Roanoke station garage. Isn't that one privately owned?
Yep.
@@stlelevators
That explains why It's In bad shape. I seriously doubt that the elevator will be fixed anytime soon.
@DieselDucy has been in some of these elevators in this video
2:52 The Mill Mountain Star
I love the brow of the US ELEVATOR
The Market parking garage has 2 Dover elevators.
Church Avenue is the oldest garage (1977) and Campbell is the newest (2008).
It would have been cool to see the original church Ave elevators.
@@stlelevators
They were Westinghouses, plus that garage was built the year Andrew was born
@@stlelevators
Gainsboro was probably going to be 6 floors but they decided to only put 4 in at the last moment
The part where he rode the elevator was crazy
Yes it was!
I love ❤️ the tower garage
It’s an interesting garage for sure.
@@stlelevators I enjoyed it
That is unfortunate that the Roanoke station (carpark) garage elevator is now defunct. I have heard that the condition and security of the entire garage is poor.
Yeah :(
The Dieselducy elevator is now modded too.
Yep. We have the old panel.
Nice elevator
Which one?
16:08 Elevator Google
That's weird the Church Ave Garage has no 5A level
It's the way the garage is setup.
Andrew rode this elevator 🛗 with mac.
The elevators in this video go at hyper speed if you put the video speed on 2x 🤣
And snail slow on 0.25x
Well, that's what happens when you speed up or slow down a video...
This parking garage is a little aways from the Campbell Court.
Which garage?
The Campbell parking garage.
@@mariokart8715 Well now it is right by the new bus station.
Before the modernization
What was?
@@stlelevatorsTyssing can is a bad elevation company
Dieselducy likes Roanoke Virginia favorite elevators
The Elmwood Parking garage elevator sounds like a train going up.
A little bit
That's how it is during snow.
Thessen Krupp at church avenue
The second elevator at Gainsboro needs its phonebox door fixed
I think it’s still broken.
Cool
Thanks!
1:09 this elevator is noisy
AHHHHHHHHH ESCERLATORS
Sadly, those are being ripped out.
Elm wood was ruined, so was church avenue
Bradtke Course
Low on oil!
Which one :)
Market.
The second one at that location. (Third one out of all.) Not running well.
Elmwood doesn't how to do this because what is not going to do anything because it will be the elevator will be destroyed and the whole garage with be destroyed the park car lots not rest of the parking lot every

elmwood doesn't sound healthy lol
It's... well, Elmwood :P
It's probably just shaft issues. It was probably cold outside. I know when it's cold outside. Parking Garage Elevators don't always run the greatest.

Who's Ethan?
no
Ok
I’ve never seen the market garage elevator in that bad of shape that thing ain’t what is once was
It’s getting older.
@@stlelevators it’s 30 years old now but I’ve seen lots of 30 year old elevators in much better shape than that I really like old Dovers but they could’ve kept the market garage elevator in better shape
Will smith slaps Chris rock😂

From what I've seen and heard, the car park is a pile of filth.
Yep
C'est chiant😒😒😒😒
