Awesome 1980s 4.5 m/s Express lift in Tower 42

This is the lift that I missed from my lift tour here. This is the non stop lift from Podium P to floor 42. I was amazed to find that this is an original 3rd generation Express.
The lift layout of this building is complected, there are lifts going everywhere! See my lift tour of the building.....

As for ones with relay logic, I would love to see what a motor room would look like in a 40+ floor tower! I bet the relay panel is freaking huge for such a lot of floors, if there are even any lifts that serve that many floors that still use relay logic around.

[@DieselDucy]

I wonder if there are more buttons underneath that plastic overlay.

[@haz05-06]

+DieselDucy There arn't

[@TheDragonFire123]

Probably; notice the buttons don't line up correctly.

[@the_alex_ellis_channel6923]

nice to see that you are getting very very close to 2000 videos! I hope you have something big planned....

[@martynransom3926]

I was working in this building during construction in 1976, when it was just the shell. No proper lifts then, just a metal cage on a wire, pulled up to the top by a crane. Hairy experience, for sure!

[@LBSiUK]

I think that this may be one of the best lifts ever installed in any building.

[@HN02_]

I love single-slide doors!

[@indotravelguy2004]

I like this lift, and Im so surprised to see it (if not mistaken) with relay controls!

[@TheFirmLiftSearch]

There's used to be one similar here in Thailand. Which also goes 42 floors. But it goes 2.5 or 3 m/s +2 of them are glass. But now they replaced the lifts with a 3rd generation Mitsubishi. And the glass lifts are now no longer glass.

[@SproutyPottedPlant]

Surfing that could be interesting, if it's even possible? Would be interesting to see the motor room too.

[@benolifts]

+Knuckles the Echidna These skyscrapers are very strict on security. To attempt to surf any of the lifts here would be totally insane. I imagine that all of the modernized lifts here have remote monitoring. Although the Express might not. I did find the service lift this time, which is in a quiet spot, but I was unable to call it. I need the Dewhurst key.

[@liquid_oxygen4409]

+Beno a nice 3rd gen express lift but sadly its dewhurst buttons GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

[@SproutyPottedPlant]

+Elevating Europe he already did 6 months ago lol

[@Telfuke-ElevatorFan]

This tower was built in 1981.

[@michellelane7226]

Hi I was thinking that the company has the potential for that day

[@ScottySullivanYT]

The only bad thing about this lift is: Dewhurst Buttons

[@LemoncloudGT]

hi
do a lift tour of Blackpool town centre

[@debbiewhite2312]

This used to be the executive lift when NatWest bank owned the building

[@BM13590]

How did you get in there?

[@AndrejsZavaruhins]

I might be wrong, but I think there are floors 43 and 44 or some extra floor, which is served for power supply purposes.

[@LBSiUK]

@@rahan573 Well a lot of 2.5 m/s EcoDiscs and 2 m/s Gen2s are MRL but then you have the plant room.

[@LBSiUK]

@@rahan573 Beno took a video of an Otis Gen2 MRL in a 25+ storey building.

[@LBSiUK]

@@rahan573 OK. Whoever put a Gen2 in that building is an idiot. Apart from the EcoDisc, putting MRLs in tall buildings is stupid.

[@Thefox0922]

Those floors are mechanical floors

[@indotravelguy2004]

2 x floor 22= tower43

[@SOSOwner]

Only 1 floor 22 counts, so it's still Tower 42.

[@LBSiUK]

Also, there are floors 43 and 44, which are service floors like the plant room.

[@shibelover9433]

fast fast fast

[@Arbiter50productions]

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE indeed

[@pikakai]

Whats with all the banging and clunking noises?

[@indotravelguy2004]

+Kai Attree slight chunks, of course old lifts

[@pikakai]

HeinsInLifts IndonesianGuy chunks? what do you mean

[@TransportationONLY]

80's technology

[@peterlomas984]

1400 fpm when they were installed 7m/s in todays money.

[@benolifts]

These never went 7 m/s. They go 4-4.5 m/s

[@peterlomas984]

1400 fpm when installed.

[@benolifts]

Why would they slow them down

[@peterlomas984]

Maybe the person who informed you that they run at 4.5ms could have told you why.

[@benolifts]

Nobody told me they go 4.5 m/s. You can easily tell the speed of a lift.

[@RapidAssistant]

You need to start saving your pennies and go to New York where there are hundreds of buildings that have lifts faster even than this one!

[@HN02_]

Go to London, I bet Canary Wharf has some really fast lifts!

[@RapidAssistant]

+HN02 was once in the Citigroup tower in Canary Wharf on the 27th floor as I knew someone who worked there....lifts were fairly fast. Once you've done lifts in New York skyscrapers there is no going back (or should that be "Down".....)

[@HN02_]

+RapidAssistant I've never been to New York, but people say they have quite a few fast lifts in taller buildings.

[@indotravelguy2004]

if just there is the word 'lift alliance' .....

[@ANDREWWALLFORD123]

So fast for this elevator... What hell that sound? Look like death trap of THIS elevator. Unbelievable!!!

[@ANDREWWALLFORD123]

Of course is mean same Elevator or Lift for example it is. Is job for working Elevator Engineering Limited in Manchester over the years and my wife working together as well. You have to be nice, please.
