ANNOYING/Confused Otis Hydraulic Freight Elevator in A&S-KoP Mall Upper Merion, PA

Installed in 1981, Modernized in 2001. This is the only service elevator I have used that has non-functional Door Open AND Door Close buttons. I believe that is a serious federal code violation, and a MAJOR violation of PA state law and Montgomery County code... Leave it to Kravco|SIMON to modernize a nice old 1981 Otis w/ GAL that was essentially indestructible with a new **** controller and faulty switches...

I think what may have happened is that the door sensor is broken, so the elevator thinks there's always an obstruction so it won't let you close it until it "nudges" (which is what the alarm bell and voice is) so all they would need to do is fix some wiring or replace the sensor. Either that or the close button itself is broken or the wiring's messed up, which on most freighters would render it useless, except for this one which happens to have a nudge

The rather new (2001?) ThyssenKrupp freight elevator at the museum I work at has an enforced 10 sec delay between last activation of the door edge optos or the door having opened and the doors being willing to close. I suspect this is the result of a delay in the Peelle door controller combined with ANOTHER delay in the ThyssenKrupp controls. Either way if you try to close it prematurely it ignores you and WILL NOT CLOSE or allow you to call it to move for another 30 seconds! It's... weird.

I think they need a louder bell :P

[@dea41396returns]

@dieselducy yes it does and it also works just fine and dandy...

[@elevatordailies]

Simon says game. We know how to and love to keep our elevator in great condition. Uh oh! Simon didn't say. Better luck next time!

[@AMB1513]

This is a schindler. Because dieselducy has filmed this elevator. And it is a schindler because the close door button DOES NOT WORK.

[@seanduncan6121]

Someone needs to break that bell

[@exoticcar5482]

It was removed a couple years ago

[@janredenius6912]

,,

[@michelemedori783]

the bell was removed in 2013.

[@kaiyan246]

That bell needs to be destroyed

[@michaelduran1527]

I'm surprised that it doesn't warn u about the doors opening!! Lmao

[@clarkloveselevators]

OMG YOUR BACK! ROFL!

[@bpmagruder]

It must be thinking that something is blocking the door, it uses a bell instead of a speaker, it must be in nudge mode.

[@dea41396returns]

yes. It may even be worse now, depending upon who you ask

[@dea41396returns]

@Ih8escalators Well it is not an Otis. I think it possibly could be a Penn City/Dover but I doubt it. Westy would install a POS like this. After all, on 2, it no longer dings for the wrong directions, BOTH LANTERNS light up!!!

[@csle1962]

I like that elevator, too.

[@suzzex]

@dea41396returns I'm saying it sounds similar. 77 Quaker Ridge is a 1974 OTIS and it sounds somewhat similar. (The pump, not the elevator)

[@dea41396returns]

sadly it rings the same one the alarm no longer works so the cell phone is a must in this lift

[@dea41396returns]

@suzzex I haven't ever heard an Otis that sounds like this...

[@TheDylanJoyce]

Do they have elevators this size in sky scraper that go all the way to the top?

[@dea41396returns]

@airplanegod nope, still the same piece of crap. This elevator just has issues, that's all I have to say. It just has some MAJOR issues...

[@FutureMC1]

Everyone in the building can here when this elevator is in use

[@michelemedori783]

not anymore the bell has been removed.

[@XxchimeloxX]

0:19 OW MY FUCKING EARS IS BLEEDING THAT BELL IS SO FUCKING ANNOYING

[@Soccerkid2005]

Hate this elevator....the bell is the most annoying thing EVER!

[@bpmagruder]

This is an Otis-Schindler mod.

[@bpmagruder]

I saw a freight elevator before...

[@CofessedHades7]

Please allow the doors to close.

[@airplanegod]

Never changed did it?

[@romphonix]

This looks like a Midland.

[@suzzex]

Sounds like an OTIS motor.

[@Chargal4]

Nah nah nah, this elevator is operating under the Futile, Unstable, Crappy, Killer (F*CK) setting

[@misekpolski8770]

cool

[@acaciakaltenberger8524]

... I got stuck in a stupid Otis before... My father and I were pretending we were ballet dancers! Then I tripped *it was a big lift* then it said lift heavy weight then the lights went off them my dad called the fire brigade the it took them 2hours...
