(Amazing Motor) Montgomery Traction Elevators @ Circle Center Mall Blue Garage - Indianapolis, IN

[@Jowevator3219]

And THIS is why Monty will forever stand as my favorite company!

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

i honestly thought when i first heard that motor in this video that it was some noisy car accelerating hard from stopped

[@Fantech0104]

That motor is one of a kind! I know this might sound a little silly since it's something different from the elevator but the motor start up actually reminds of the MD-88 start up since it kind of sounds similar to an MD-88 start up.

[@stlelevators]

It sounds a little like that, but a jt8d startup is more epic lol

[@That_randomkid2]

1:24 That motor sounds BOOMING!!!!

[@stlelevators]

These are REALLY loud!

[@EC_3276]

Best Monty traction motor!!

[@ogClockTV]

I have been in that mall and have rode those elevators but I don’t think I rode these

[@peak5154]

Probably the best Monty motor I've ever heard

[@elevcan2312]

NW indiana elevators got busted here. Nice elevators and THREE WORDS WHAT A MOTOR.

[@over.4262]

Now that is what u call a EPIC motor

[@Nasiens1999]

Me too.

[@Nasiens1999]

It is a "Chewbacca"

[@williamsr06]

This is exactly the reason why Montgomery is my favorite elevator company.

[@stlelevators]

I love this one. Montgomery is awesome!

[@williamsr06]

@@stlelevators yes, they also made the best hydraulic elevators imo

[@tcdplumbingmore9650]

[@ELEVrjATOR]

WOWEEE!

[@OPG2711]

Motor: main atTraction.

[@SamSitar]

it sounds like an industrial elevator.

[@Seppen552]

Is this overhead or bottom-drive? I love Montgomery!

[@stlelevators]

I believe overhead

[@Seppen552]

@@stlelevators Thanks!

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

I’ve ridden the glass elevators at this mall! However they were really busy. These things are pretty epic with that motor

[@stlelevators]

Yeah, I went on all of them too :)

[@Nasiens1999]

That is a traction version of the "Chewbacca" motor

[@kkahn3553]

I couldn’t find these when I went. Are they near the edge of the mall?

[@conrad1478]

If only the elevators at Forest Glen Metro Station in DC had these motors

[@stlelevators]

THAT would be awesome.

[@nikospodas6201]

sick chime but epic motor

[@NWIndianaElevators]

The one time that I was here, BOTH of the elevators were broken.

[@NWIndianaElevators]

I was here yesterday, and the right elevator was down. Simon is probably fixing the motor on that elevator.

[@AlecRoth-id8fp]

Amazing roaring motor? Is it bottom drive and what year was this installed?

[@ElevatorDude]

These are overhead, and these were installed in 1993.

[@icecolespears]

Installed in 1991 or 1992?

[@stlelevators]

Sometime around then.

[@Dana_Danarosana]

I hate to be the grinch... but do you think it's really supposed to sound like that? My first instinct says some bearings need grease and/or replacement...

[@ElevatorDude]

Dana Danarosana, that’s true. The motors sound way louder than they really should. The motors give off the impression that they can break at any time.

[@ElevatorDude]

Installed in 1995.

[@OPG2711]

You sure about that? I think they became MontgomeryKONE in ‘94.

[@ElevatorDude]

OPM1961 The mall opened in 1995.

[@OPG2711]

Maybe these were installed a little before when the mall was under construction.

[@ElevatorDude]

Then I would say these were installed in 1993, because Montgomery & KONE merged together in 1994.

[@MrEngineer20051]

WHAT THE

[@MrEngineer20051]

That sounds like a train
