A Very Nice Schindler 330A Hydraulic Elevator at a Church

[@ElevatorsInternational]

The elevator at my church is an Otis series 5 hydraulic. The machine room for the elevator is in the men’s bathroom in the basement. It’s right next to the door as soon as you walk in. Definitely an unusual spot for it.

[@stlelevators]

Well, you gotta put it where there's room!

[@ElevatorsInternational]

True

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

There's a Nordstrom with an Elevator Machine Room in the men's Bathroom also lmao

[@ex5138]

This is a 330A in its purest form.

[@stlelevators]

Yep!!

[@BluepuptweetElevators]

i like the color of the cab! its plain but unique!

[@stlelevators]

It really doesn't need anything else though.

[@mdrashid6949]

Very nice cab and very quiet for a 330a. A lot of them are much louder

[@stlelevators]

This one is surprisingly quiet. I’ve seen others in places that should be quiet, yet the elevator is super loud.

[@ex5138]

That one dislike is from Kone. They hate hydro.

[@stlelevators]

lol

[@Ih8kone]

Any chance you could get the elevator at Webster Groves Presbyterian Church?

[@Dana_Danarosana]

That's an intuitive layout of the COP relative to the doors...

[@stlelevators]

Yeah it's a nice layout.

[@tkefan29]

Unique cab for a 330A

[@stlelevators]

yeah it is.

[@QuarioQuario54321]

330A is still in production

[@stlelevators]

It's a solid elevator.

Dear STL Elevators, What is the name church you film at? From, Connor

[@stlelevators]

If the location name is not in the title, description, or obviously visible, it will remain undisclosed.

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

2:49 whats that hanging down from the ceiling?

[@stlelevators]

Clips that can be used to hang padding up. The padding is typically used when moving large items to prevent damaging the cab.

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

@@stlelevators ahh, i was thinking it might be that but i don't recall seeing them left visible like that before

[@stlelevators]

Most of the time, they aren't, but I guess they just decided to leave them in here.

[@QuikCall4623]

Unpopular Opinion: I love Schindler HT! I just ordered an HT Lantern from Adams Elevator the other day. Supposed to come today! The HT Fixtures are really well designed and is actually my favorite line of fixtures!

[@stlelevators]

Nice! I really like HT.

[@Jdss22]

You can buy HT parts that easily?

[@QuikCall4623]

@@Jdss22 I figured it out how but it has to consist of a lot of a lot of emails to be exchanged

[@cats400]

Does this elevator not have Phase 1 fire service ability?

[@stlelevators]

It does.

[@TRRCMM-9669]

Not bad for a Schindler! My church doesn’t have an elevator.

[@bostonelevatorsaviation]

What year was this put in

[@stlelevators]

2009

[@bostonelevatorsaviation]

STL Elevators thanks for the super fast reply

[@breadplayz1]

We have one of these elevators in our library

[@stlelevators]

nice!

[@theaultmanadventures2766]

Is this brand new?

[@stlelevators]

No. From 2009.

[@ericshook9270]

Cool elevator I like the motor!

[@stlelevators]

It's very quiet for a 330a. Makes sense too as it's in a church.

[@2035jim]

Little low on oil but it runs well

[@stlelevators]

Sounds fine to me.

[@hueysfavoriteactivities1943]

I want to know where this church is.

[@stlelevators]

Well, there's a reason the location is not said. By request of the minister, I'm not naming where this church is.

[@ex5138]

Was the machine room open?

[@stlelevators]

I was allowed to go in there and tour it.

[@ex5138]

Lucky! I sometimes see machine rooms open. It's still best to get approval first.

[@stlelevators]

I've been in open machine rooms before as well, but since I was allowed in this one, it gave me a good chance to tour it properly.

[@ilikeelevators-rr5kc]

fast for 3 floors

[@stlelevators]

It’s really only 2 floors with a half level.

[@TrainmasterCurt]

That sound is creepy, right out of a horror movie

[@TrainmasterCurt]

The Hydraulic pump I mean

[@stlelevators]

Kind of. This one is actually a quieter 330a. Most of them I've encountered are much louder.

[@evana6425]

This motor was not epic as it supposed to be. Usually it has a epic motor but shocking that this didn’t. I love that elevator and I love elevators that are old and are made from older companies

[@bryanschlippjr4894]

2:54 that was fast

[@stlelevators]

It's a short travel distance.

[@bryanschlippjr4894]

Floors basement & 1?

[@lucasgelevatorsandmore7722]

All black that is weird emagine if you were to ride with no lights

[@stlelevators]

Any elevator like this would be dark with no lights on

[@SamSitar]

newer elevators work better.

[@stlelevators]

Not always... It honestly depends on how well it's maintained. I've seen plenty of older elevators run than newer ones, and I've also seen newer ones run better than older ones.

[@SeattleElevators]

The panel in the car. The stainless steel panel next to the brown metal cab looks interesting

[@stlelevators]

It's very interesting how it's laid out... Normally you would see a panel like that for a mod, but this is an original install.

[@ARelevators]

my church has a dover impulse
