Surprised to see a PLC controlling that lift - bet that was fitted in the 80s at some point. Nice find!

Lovely original brasswork there, and as well lovely keeping the original switches in service as well. Only poor thing I see was not all wires are terminated with bootlace ferrules, or open end screw terminals, so that they are firmly gripped into the contactors, but all ABB contactors will last a very long time there.

Nice vintage elevator 👍

Don't think it is Marryat & Scott but definitely a Dewhurst controller

It is indeed a Bristol(UK) built TMS200 controller. The single Tacho is used for motor control feedback and not positional.

this elevator is not kid, disabilty and short friendly

Now that’s what you call a lift modernisation. What a fine lift. If only there was some of these types of lifts in Ireland. Great video.

Nice lift, though sadly not with the original Express controls, and the guarding, though very well made, and very good in manufacture, is sadly missing part over the motor pulleys. None of the orange guarding would have been there in 1950's, with the mantra that Safety Is With The Worker, not the machinery, so they got trained to respect it, and to take time and care. Upgrade you can see with the less than perfect like original wiring in the cabinet, it works, but would not have passed the original Express inspectors.

Incredible, unique design! Scissor gates inside of swinging doors at landings!

Nice unit, wonder why they went so close to overspeed, should have gone to 0.75mps instead, leaving a good margin there, or gone to 0.8 as a maximum. But guess any people who trip overspeed will get stuck and need rescue anyway. Will bet that under that car call panel the old Otis one is still there, just missing a button or three to lead the wiring out to the new one. Could have put a blanking plate over the old floor indicators though.

Very nice vintage elevator 👍

4:09: I think the housing of the two relays should'nt shake when activated ... maintenance is your friend 🙂

at least its single speed

Beautiful building!

incredible find mate 👍

(An OLD DMG MOD WOW!!) It's far Better than a Modern DMG Mod.

Very rare these days.

The dumbwaiter at my college has a higher capacity!

Very interesting device.

Interesting how the inside buttons are really high that must be to prevent kids from playing with it

I knew it was only for 2 people...

Selector Sil, italian made very sucess in Portugal , last model was digital, fail sucess

At least one of those contactors are hanging on to dear life, literally. What does it cost to get it properly mounted onto the DIN rail?

Looks like a TMS 200 to me

Oh yes I've seen this lift in person very interesting!

Great Video

Been in that lift

Wow, very nice old Express lift👍.

I know some individuals that exceed the rated lift capacity just by themselves!

now whats the point of blurring out the sign at the start if you dont blur it out on the thumbnail, heh.

I wouldn't never ride in this elevators with anybody else

love the old GAL fixtures

What a beauty, definitely on my visit list

That is a tiny one, I have seen dumb waiters that had a larger floor area.

I'm wondering if it's possible for the lift to be unsync with the floor selector (eg: one or more steps have been missed and the floor selector now indicates a position different than the lift). It's probably very unlikely.

crazy that the elevator itself probably weighs more than the total weight that it's rated to carry.

it such a shame it ended up like this and look at the inside of the cab why? what did everyone do to this old lift

Haven't seen an H+C with all it's original displays and buttons for ages!

I've just come across your channel I do very enjoy in depth lift videos of the machinery!

Big ass selenium rectifier and a monstrously huge mains tranformer ❤

Nice!
