LG Traction Elevators - Al Khaleej Centre, Dubai, AE

Went to another random shopping center in Dubai and surprisingly it has some rather nice and fast 1990s LG elevators. Annoyingly these are rather busy as all four elevators also serve the office floors upstairs. Took me quite a while to get the car with a chime as not all four cars have chimes.
The maintenance is currently held by Al Arabia, a local company who is now the distributor of Sigma in UAE. Not surprising as they were previously a distributor of GoldStar/LG since 1986.

They sound just like the ones they have in the Baiyoke Sky Hotel in Bangkok Thailand. I think the ones there are a mix of LG Sigma and GoldStar

[@idl3k_elev]

Some of these fixtures, such as the "speedbump" shaped floor indicators were continued to be produced by Sigma after the LG-OTIS merger in 1999. The chimes used on Sigma elevators up until the early 2010s are basically a modified version of the chimes used by GoldSar and LG.

Reminds me of the LGs at Aryaduta Manado. Not all of them had chimes lol.

Doortracks behave a lot like GoldStar. 😅

[@caja1491]

Yes. This is MVP, it travels slightly faster than 1 m/s.

[@PL1Lifts]

How can a doortrack behave? It doesn't move by itself..

[@idl3k_elev]

@caja1481 What are you talking about? Do you mean door behavior? If that's the case then it's not surprising because almost all LG elevator door behavior like that since the GoldStar era.
