this elevator is HUGE!!!!!

[@Andrew_Bdish_Elevators]

At 1:53 it sounded like a PARTY in that thing! It was because that is like a freight elevator for passengers!

[@revo8778]

Cool floor indicators.

[@stateofeastdakotatours6662]

That thing is so colossal, you can't even get it in full frame. It has an odd shape also.

[@DieselDucy]

Yeah, also I had an older camera at the time.

[@stevey516]

lol i've never spent at least 7 minutes inside an elevator

[@FranceHopper]

Imagine if this just automatically stopped at every floor. That would take awhile for a round trip.

[@mysteriousjustin]

You should film some of the bad and dangerous metro elevators. :P

[@Ih8kone]

They're actually quite nice.

[@ppoutine]

I would love to see the machine room on this one!

[@dmvelevators]

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

How could a traction elevator hoist that big of an elevator?! What type of machinery would it need?

[@DieselDucy]

Huge stuff

[@dea41396returns]

Installed in 1966

[@SamSitar]

it's near the size of the RIT building 7b elevator, "look at the SIZE of this monster.". I want to ride this one so badly. :)

[@sonic2batt]

How do you know it's traction?

[@red142100]

i wonder if it would be faster hydro...

[@Ih8kone]

This Elevator has a capacity of 18,000 pounds.

[@sarahedwards2]

What's the capacity? That thing is freakin' HUGE!

[@Ih8kone]

18,000 Pounds

[@ryantossell6694]

I think B is locked.

[@MG47126]

lots of bumps

[@MultiElevatorman]

You can maybe fit a car in that thing

[@dea41396returns]

@dea41396returns I am not sure about that...

[@ohiovalleyelevatorsofflift3443]

Update: Delaware Elevator has since modded this!

[@DieselDucy]

So no Otis lexan left in this place :(
