A Youtube First! Awesome Otis Manlift Traction elevator in a Silo!

That's right, as far as I know, this is the first elevator in a silo in a factory that has ever been uploaded. A BIG thank you to this establishment for inviting me to take a moving photograph of your elevator! Enjoy this awesome elevator as it goes a LONG way up! around 200 feet!
DISCLAIMER! NEVER trespass in an industrial facility or a factory unless you are invited AND are familiar with proper safety procedures. They can be VERY dangerous not to mention you can get in legal trouble as well.. I was invited to ride and film this elevator as I am familiar with the safety procedures at this specific location as I am a frequent visitor to this establishment.

EPIC, when I'm with my dad I live next to one, that makes me wonder what's in there now

[@alpaljl]

Just downright awesome!!!!

[@DieselDucy]

This was cool :) Thanks for being such a good friend over the years!

[@Bombiedude.]

I deffinatelly agree this is a very slow elevator for how high it goes and if I had to say this is probably the height of a 30 floor building

[@DieselDucy]

Yep about 300 ft

[@feppelevator]

awesome find

[@cubsfan5734]

So that’s awesome

[@DieselDucy]

"Door close does not work." (Presses button at 0:28 and door closes). Uh, yes it does? (Presses button at 3:13 and door closes). Never mind.

[@ARelevators]

Very Cool nice video

[@davidgessler]

THE TYNERGY!!!!

[@upanddownadventures]

Do you know when this elevator was installed? Interesting that it has a caged shaft.

[@Ih8kone]

It's located at Roanoke Cement

[@scratchpad7954]

Night time tours do nothing to alleviate the inherently menacing appearance of industrial silos!

[@Ih8kone]

This "Undisclosed Location" is Roanoke Cement.

[@davidgessler]

What an undisclosed location

[@Ih8kone]

It's Roanoke Cement.

[@ElevatingPirate]

At least it's faster than a particular gated Westbrook you'll see soon... ;)

[@roadwolf2]

You back riding the rails dure

[@Ih8kone]

He works for Norfolk Southern Railroad.

[@phillies4100_mainsite]

Cool!!!!

[@mrm10199]

This is located at Roanoke Cement

[@Ih8kone]

Do you work there?

[@mrm10199]

Dante The Train Buff No I don’t work there. This is the one in Troutville VA outside of Roanoke. Andrew has posted on his Flickr pictures of trains here and if you read the description of the video he states he is a “frequent visitor of this establishment”.

[@Ih8kone]

@@mrm10199 Oh

[@mrm10199]

Dante The Train Buff Andrew has not been there in a very long time since now he is driving trains to Bluefield now mainly. He used to drop off and pick up cement cars to this plant with the railroad as it appears by the hopper cars parked here

[@jacksonslaterelevatorraila6444]

looks older than the buttons

[@DieselDucy]

It had black buttons before. Modded sometime during the late 90s early 2000s.

[@cubsfan5734]

What is this elevator

[@DieselDucy]

It was in a cement silo.
