AMAZING VIDEO!! I would have been so excited to reach the top floor and find a ladder up to an open motor room! It's an open invitation to explore! Really enjoyed watching this, especially the many different camera angles. You obviously take a tripod with you the same as I do! Excellent video, gets a fav from me also.
Thank you! But actually i do not have any tripod. I placed my camera on top of a chair i found in the machine room, if i remember correctly. I agree and open door to a machine room is an inviation! You just can't let such one go :)
A two-speed lift; I believe the motorised switch on top of the hoist machine is what selects the direction of the machine, and the relays select the particular motor speed. There is a video on how the selector works.
@@ComplexGrounds exactly. Recently modernized Butchered, was a 1928 lift in Adelaide Australia that behaved very much like this. But of course it was more vintage, started with a jolt, rode swiftly and roughly, though the buildings 5 floors an really jolted to the lower speed when stopping. Jolt, slow,then smaller jolt to stop. Made the lift, no faster than this seem powerful. Some of the gated, or attended lifts from the 30s in Australia travel at just over a floor a second. Looks fast, but still takes them less than a floor to stop. They're mostly gone now. Modern skyscrapers have lifts that go so fast they take several floors to stop or get up to full speed.
interessting lift! Everything about it is... compact! The controller rack is quite small for relay controller. The shaft is very narrow, but it's hardly noticeable in the cab. Still odd that the machineroom is so easily accessable. Is it a 1970's building? It looks older. Interessting structural detail I noticed: The floor of the machineroom is reinforced with steel I beams, the concrete infill between the beams is probably not reinforced beacuse of the small span between the beams. That's a very old (early) structral system for a concrete floor, yet the roof seems to be a regular reinforced deck.
For an elevator of that age it is levelling very fast and accurate. Bit surprised that it is still allowed to run nowadays without the inner door on the car...
N.E.A. Elevators I guess it's the mechanism that activates the emergency brake. You can see these rollers on it going up and down. If the car goes too fast downwards, the rollers start jumping, so after a certain speed, the other edge comes in contact with this wheel and blocks it. I also guess that it drives the positioner wheel...
Awesome vintage elevators! Shame that it's being serviced by a generic Swiss company which means that this elevator would be turned into a boring generic in the future. It seems that the 4th floor used to be locked off, then when a new tenant moved there the keyswitch was replaced by a 4th floor button.
Generic elevators are elevators which are assembled from various brought in parts (rather than the elevator being design by an actual company who manufacturer it). They are built very cheap and often don't run very good. They are made to last 10 years compared to old/vintage/historic elevators which were made to last 30 or more years.
il y en avait un très similaire dans l'immeuble ou je vivait en Alsace , installé en 1969 , il fonctionnait très bien mais a été remplacé parce que des imbéciles se sont blessés à plusieurs reprises en essayant d'ouvrir les portes de force alors que l'ascenseur était en mouvement
Eine herrliche alte Anlage. 👍👍👍
What a beautiful machine!
2:10 You timed perfectly as the elevator stops.
Awesome! Very fast and reliable. Beautiful machine and controllers :-)

Hey! That's near my home :-D
I'm from Lugano.
Very interesting piece of machinery. I'm always fascinated with such things, I am since I was a kid.
Me too!

+Heritage Elevators extremely fast for the amount of floors it serves
mr beeny bee
THE FLOOR SELECTOR
nice elevator motor
and nice elevator
Fantástico! Ver cómo funciona un elevador si este que es sencillo se ve sofisticado, como serán los elevadores de los rascacielos.
Those relays sure make music!

Fantastikt att du lyckades komma in i ett hissmaskinrum sådär!
Am I the only one who feels that this old lift is like 10x faster than modern day lifts for some reason?
Sharifc Only because you see the walls moving.

220v delta, 380v wye. And yes there are two different motors on there. The smaller one is for the low speed.
VERY VERY NICE LIFT!

Great setting
Pretty Awesome - as usual :)
:D
Awesome video buddy
Is the floor selector controlled by the governor
nice in detalied look i liked it
pretty good control system logic...
Nice video😙
Music is a needless annoyance!
I think its weird, but
Am i the only one who loves Elevators?
Why is the light turning off in the highest floor?
4:21 I spot a mod!
And 5:01 a regular power brick for the alarm?
nice lol but how r u allowed up there?
AC2 drive with relay controller.
What is that chain driven part? That sure seems like it would wear out quickly.

MihalisNavara Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.
very fast elevator!
8:50 Does the overspeed governor work in both directions?
+denandrew No it only operates in the down direction on a lift of this speed.
Is that a W54?
Did you have a cheap Bluetooth speakers playing in the bg for your music?
Kevin Mein Darwaza nahi hai kya

why do so many people not like jinerics? I don't understand , I have heard a lot of bad things about them.

But DieselDucy likes 2 generic elevator companies, CJ Anderson, and Innovation industries
Ehm Schindler dont wont to maintain old vators, they replace after 15 years
Good music
So many car door-less elevators here
No car door why
this music tho
What is this in 9:00
overspeed govenor
stopes the lift if its running fast or ropes broke
Very nice! But it has only two ropes :o
Cool i interesed
Song name?
Awesome elevator!
Why didn't you test the photocells? I saw the photocells located at the bottom above the metal barrier.
I also noticed them
Am I the only one who thought it was a gaint camera
you got me thinking
What music
Music: if i had a chicken
2:11 *brake tires screech*
the Brake has UA switch
The Breaks💀
This is MR
OMG
Ese ascensor es muy peligroso y deja mucho que desear . Cabina sin puertas . Y no tiene tiempos de espera entre paradas y arranque ..
Not lift service
i live in lugano lol
il y en avait un très similaire dans l'immeuble ou je vivait en Alsace , installé en 1969 , il fonctionnait très bien mais a été remplacé parce que des imbéciles se sont blessés à plusieurs reprises en essayant d'ouvrir les portes de force alors que l'ascenseur était en mouvement
it sounded like it farted lol
gttttt
What is the small motor located on top of the main winch?
It's for the brake.
