1990s Schindler lifts in hotel (16 floors)

These are some quite rare Schindler lifts in the hotel I was staying in.
Typical older generation Schindler fast doors with the nice 'dong-dong' arrival chimes.
These are quite fast and interesting (hence the upload!)
Don't forget to see my other video, as there are some OLD 1970s OTIS lifts behind these ones, for the service staff - of course I checked them out!! :D

[@What_The_Fuck_Did_I_Just_Watch]

I love that design so much. This is definately my favourite old school elevator!

[@lzh4950]

3:25 Meanwhile my country has some 47-storey public housing apartment blocks (8 units per floor) that're each served by 4 lifts serving all floors. With a rooftop garden, they attract many visitors when fireworks are set off to celebrate the new year, leading to ~1h queues for the lifts for residents returning home though

[@mrmattandmrchay]

4 lifts and 47 floors?! No-wonder they're queues to get out! That's a massive amount of floors to serve.

[@LGCT]

Very Nice Lifts.

[@YourLocalGP]

I am regularly in Switzerland for work and see these everywhere in hotels

[@Bombiedude.]

Ive always liked schindler they always made very nice well built stuff even what they make today looks really nice

[@1990chrism]

My understanding is that that in some hotels it is common to miss out room 13's and floor 13's due to them historically being seen as bad luck, however i suspect modern hotels simply do this because of tradition.

[@mrmattandmrchay]

I think you're totally right ;)

[@austrianelevators696]

Very nice Schindler S-Series elevator 👍

[@psirvent8]

They're indeed rare: Only 3 in Toulouse (France) up to this day with two of them that are hydraulic and only one that is traction. The trouble is that both hydraulics have a keypad inside the car that locks all floors and the traction one is not really accessible to the public. ): (Oh I forgot to mention that one of the hydraulics and the traction don't even have shaft lights !)

[@melevator]

AMAZING schindler s series !!

[@idl3k_elev]

Fyi, these Schindler S-Series push buttons uses microswitch (hence the click) made by Saia Burgess, a Swiss electronics company.

[@elevatorfilmersg]

So these must have replaced some older lifts from the 70s right?

[@Knaeckebrotsaege]

There's one of these in a way more basic form (no chimes, only 2 floors, basic cabin) near where I live (Germany) in a medical center that was remodeled in the early 90s. The whole building has had some remodeling done fairly recently, but they left the lift untouched other than a new door frame I think. Seems to be pretty reliable. What's so special about these or are they just rare? (and if so why.. too expensive back then?)

[@mrmattandmrchay]

The interesting things about these are the chimes and up/down LED on the landings. I was more interested in the lifts at the back (70s Otis) - oh and the bushes at the front of the building lol.

[@europa2000man]

Where about's are these lifts? They have alot of character.

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

what's the point for the intermediate indicator for the ground and top floor is only one arrow is used

[@Bombiedude.]

0:40 I didnt know that one on the left had a telescoping door on it it looked like the middle one with the center open system

[@defaultyotis_x7528]

Those are 90s S Series

[@thealexpshow782]

Love rolling numbers

[@DDR_Aufzuege]

@ranger26a Hello, i forgot, floor 13 is lost. MfG Jan

[@ElevatingEurope]

It misses out floor 13! Typical American floor numbering system.

You have bad grammar

[@idl3k_elev]

These Schindler lifts are the "designS" model from the mid-1980s. Are these lifts modernized back then?

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Hi, Sorry I don't know. I've only ever been there once, but would like to check out those service lifts (in more detail) if I ever go back there.

[@ostkkfmhtsh012345678]

I Like these fixtures! :D (DesignS and D-Line)

[@teresathienailing650]

.

[@teresathienailing650]

Op

[@ariarjuna3775]

why most S series has a m-line or a d-line fixtures at the main lobby level

[@EggmMan1234]

it so fast

[@NingSamaElevatorManiac]

I think Schindler with S-Series fixtures are rare in the world with an exception of Bangkok, Thailand. S-Series here are installed around 10-20 places. Any place like this?

[@Knaeckebrotsaege]

There's a very basic (no chimes, 2 floors, basic cabin) S-Series near where I live in Germany, installed in a medical center when it was remodeled in the early 90s. It's the only S-Series I know of here.

[@lzh4950]

Singapore's Ngee Ann City shopping centre used to have S-Series fixtures in its cargo lifts (but M-Line call buttons & lanterns), while passenger lifts had S-Series lift lobby floor indicators (but other fixtures were M-Line) until modernization by Kone in 2013

[@lasertagduisburg]

Probably not the correct video to ask this question but ... Today I saw some early 2000s Schindler lifts and wondered what the “candle” symbol means and when will it light up? Do you have an idea?

[@reececollison5101]

It’s an Olympic torch 😂 rather silly and pointless really it came on during the 2012 Olympics, not sure if they come on every Olympics though so not sure about 2016

[@KOYOelevatorfan]

[@mirzazildzic5479]

[@Titanic19127]

Cool!

[@WaygoodOtis]

Who really cares about quality as long as you can see enough

[@MindTheGap1]

S series are the best

[@tyelowe4663]

What hotel was that at?

[@ag6371]

Does this use relays, PLC or a microprocessor?

[@gabrielcoyle9049]

Relays for the 90’s I wouldn’t of thought so we’ve moved on from relay controlled lifts

[@TechNerdNolan]

Where is this place?

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

D series fixtures on lobby

[@erikazaraandannabelleyesch7284]

Where is that hotel located at?

[@mrmattandmrchay]

This was a long time ago now. I think its a novotel or something like that, in Brussels or Amsterdam? Sorry cant remember exactly

[@QuarioQuario54321]

No 13, WAY more common in the US, So The real order is B L 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 B is Basement L is Lobby or 1

[@the_alex_ellis_channel6923]

floors -1 and 13 are most likely staff only floors and not served by the public lifts. Probably if you were to go in a service lift you would find those floors.

[@QuarioQuario54321]

+The_ALEX_ELLIS_Channel 13 doesn't exist at all, so after 12 it has an American Numbering Scheme where the ground floor is 1, first floor is 2 and so on. -1 Does exist as well as a -3.

[@sgstuff1152]

+QuarioQuario54321 HEY YOU! IT DOES EXIST!

[@sgstuff1152]

+QuarioQuario54321 THE LEVEL 13 AND -1 EXIST!

[@sgstuff1152]

DONT LIE!

[@mrmattandmrchay]

I don't see any BETTER QUALITY videos on your channel, except a subway sandwich wrapper lol. Suggest you make some before you comment on someone else's work. Perhaps you should set your quality settings higher than 240p?

[@DDR_Aufzuege]

Hello, nice elevators. Overall mirrors inside, LCD panels outside. MfG Jan
