I guess that paternosters like this one would have never been allowed here in germany. Our paternosters have got cabins with ceilings / roofs, and there are panels between the cabins that stop the machine immediately if they are hit by something or someone.
I wonder what the safety features are. Maybe the hinges at the edges of the floors/cabs have something to do with it (i.e. when something is wedged between a floor and cab, the hinged panels tilt, triggering an emergency stop?)
Yes, there are hinges on the floor of the car and on the floor of the landing so that they'll flip up if you stick you foot out while standing either in the car or on the landing. I suspect there are also sensors that will stop the whole thing if someone flips up a floor panel. And there's emergency stop buttons inside the cars and on the wall at each landing.
Very cool but dangerous especially that sprocket at the bottom. And not many people who have videos of these have done the right thing and light up the video thanks for that. And thanks for posting.
What an elegant concept, almost perpetual motion. I just love it.

A roof actually makes it more dangerous because when going down the roof could crush someone into the floor

Stress wall? Never heard about that before now!

is this easily accessable? Would love to see this when i come over there.
+DieselDucy Yes. Anyone can go in it.
WOW! Very nice paternoster lift! Is it possible to surf on the metal cross of the cabin?
It's possible, but you'll get chewed up by the machinery if you go over the top or under the bottom like that...
Yay, a paternoster! :D
It'll chop off your hand if you're not careful
is there a counterweight?
+BanterGaming No. The entire thing balances itself.
+legoguy400 the cabs are at an equal distance from eachother, therefore the weight is balanced
