AWESOME Incline funicular elevator @ Huntington Metro Station Huntington VA

[@doverimpulse]

The new 34th St. - Hudson Yards subway station on the 7 line in NYC has 2 incline elevators built by Maspero Elevatori (some Italian elevator manufacturer), they were installed by Kone.

[@DuckboyTheDuck]

That funny squeak sound is hilarious at 0:55

[@ZachRihn1]

dieselducy next time you are in Pittsburgh PA ride the inclines at mount washington, they are just like this but bigger, faster, and run up and down the side of a mountain, not to mention the view from the top is spectacular!

[@JRNY07]

Come to Pittsburgh! We have two inclines - the Duquesne and the Monongahela. Both take you up from E. Carson Street to Mt. Washington for a great view of the city. Although, I'd advise visiting Pittsburgh in the warmer months!

[@jaymietreadwell]

Very nice :) Looks like the inclinator and escalators travel at the same speed

[@SamSitar]

@CaptainElevator42189 yes i like how well it works. nice open view of the station roof. scrape at about 33% of the way up is unexpected.

[@Bombiedude.]

And also I noticed this one has the emergancy ladder built into the track system while the one at cityplace dart rail had it completely exposed below

[@DieselDucy]

This is definitely an interesting design.

[@yarsofpupae]

AWESOME-INCLINED-ELEVATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ElevatorsfromSweden]

@dieselducy What brand you want to see, just for you? i hope i´ts not to busy to film..

[@MrJohnpaulson1963]

there is also an incline elevator at the convention center in San Diego ,CA

[@Bombiedude.]

5:37 the doors made a really funny noise when they were opening it actually sounded like a train brake activating

[@DieselDucy]

Interesting.

[@khroe]

Boy I wish I could get so exited, I go through here twice a day.

[@theweirdrobot]

Why does Dieselducy never have enough battery?

[@kinkisharyocoasters]

I think there's going to be one of these at the new subway station in NY by the Javits center when they extend the flushing line. Hopefully there will be two of them since they're pokey. I went on one like this at a subway station in Helsinki. They're also a bit like the elevators at the Luxor in vegas, though those are opaque and much faster.

[@MrWill1985]

You should see the escalators at Wheaten Station. They are long as who knows what.

[@Bombiedude.]

Our friend STL elevators filmed this and when he did they seemed to have slowed the doors down

[@craigbrowning9448]

This unit is similar to the Shadowbrook Restaurant Hill-A-Vator in Capatola, Ca.

[@TTC4300]

Transit elevator? Oh, the Toronto Transit Commission's Don Mills subway station needs one of those incline elevators.

[@davidng2336]

You need to visit 34th Street-Hudson Yards in NYC. They have two awesome incline elevators!

[@ElevatorsfromSweden]

Nice one, i can take an "Special Video" just for you in Stockholm. There they have many metro stations with "Inclinator"! Many old "KONE ASEA-Graham" from the early 70´s, "Thyssen" and some "KONE" from 80´s and later! The newest i ride, it´s an "Full glass" like that, it´s an KRUPPY ThyssenKrupp from 2006! :)

[@dea41396returns]

A lot of stations HAD inclinations but they were removed for regular elevators

[@22408aaron]

It is not in DC... it is near Fairfax, VA. It is a cool elevator

[@M72_Transit_And_More]

Awesome!!!

[@missourielevators9252]

dude awesome elevator seeing this makes me want to ride one

[@Bombiedude.]

I even saw on the station level the call plate has the handicape button bellow the main call button

[@DieselDucy]

Yep.

[@Ih8kone]

@@DieselDucy actually I think that's an emergency phone.

[@Bombiedude.]

Im wondering do these follow the same safety regulations as a normal elevator?

[@Bombiedude.]

Like if the cables were to snap does it have a safety govenor to stop it from falling

[@DylanLTindall]

@@Bombiedude.the single cable on the left is likely the govenor

[@Bombiedude.]

The one at cityplace dart rail was actually way bigger than this one I dont actually think this place was meant for huge loads of suitcases and passengers and thats why this one was smaller

[@DieselDucy]

THe one at dart is much bigger.

[@Ranthos1]

Thumbs up for the guy running up the down escalator

[@alpaljl]

How did I miss this station in DC?

[@Ih8kone]

It's not in Washington DC It's in Fairfax, Virginia.

[@Bombiedude.]

Going on a multi level boat and using the onboard elevators would definatelly feel just as wierd as that lol

[@DieselDucy]

I know right?

[@OldElevNew]

In Hamburg, Germany, there are also some inclinators. At Jungfernstieg subway station there is one pretty much like this with a counterweight going by underneath, except it goes faster and has a shorter travel distance: watch?v=os7pFIZcOl4. But at the same station, there are also some roped hydraulic inclinators which only travel approximately ten feet (measured vertically): watch?v=rWHksVB4baQ.

[@StuntDevil1234]

Gotta' love dieselducy:)

[@SammyMaggio]

THIS IS EPIC!!!!!

[@Bombiedude.]

This looks like it was built on a hill because when you were looking out the skylights you could see trees and parts of grassy terrain out there

[@svenwagner9661]

Not a big deal if you ask me. Seen such elevators in 1983 in Hamburg, germany in the subway station 'Messehallen'. Although this technique is not brand new, it offers the ability to install elevators where no vertical shafts are at hand.

[@squirmnherman]

thats cool just bump up the speed a little and it would be good i wish i could record with you one day

[@anthonylee6887]

Cool never saw it before

[@haleighmalloy7705]

Wow. Thats cool.

[@MrBrombomb]

How neat!

[@AJTLfilms]

I'm gonna see this!!

[@22408aaron]

No, the real reason why it is like this is because if it was conventional, it would be a tower sticking up in the middle of the station. Kind of like the Lynchburg Public Elevator.

[@itzik200]

That Is Nuts!!

[@parassarap]

in helsinki metro station, there is this kind of elevator and it is fast :D

[@DavidVitrano]

This is what is practically inside the Luxor hotel in Vegas.

[@DieselDucy]

Yep! I rode them last year! They were cool

[@jackx.cassway]

I was there when I was 5 years old.

[@Maaaagiccc]

Wow. Ive never seen a incline elevator before

[@kphag]

Meanwhile, did you count how many people simply went up the escalator while these guys were waiting for the inclinator? I fail to see the advantage of an inclined elevator.

[@LewisPhillipson]

Advantage number 1 wheelchair users can exit the station.

[@bait28]

Lewis Phillipson Advantage #2, People moving large equipment can go up and down.

[@fuzzylon]

It will be for the elderly, disabled, parents with children in buggies, people with luggage, etc. It provides access to public transport for those who can’t deal with escalators.

[@Ih8kone]

That's obvious

[@keithgardner5818]

@@Ih8kone You're right... it was a long time ago that I posted this and I didn't realize the ambiguity of my comment. I really meant I didn't see the advantage of this as a *third* option, in addition to escalators and elevators. An elevator would be much faster than this. Unless this is somehow cheaper or something, but I can't imagine that it would be.

[@robloxangrybirds2]

really funny elevator

Omg it litterally goes the same speed as the escalators

[@DieselDucy]

It is slow.

The buttons look like vandalic buttons because I reconised the clicking sound from the unboxing video

[@DieselDucy]

I’m not sure what they are.

Welp, I'm now learning that odd elevator configurations (this, the Paternoster, etc) are not just fragments of my nightmares. What next, a spiral escalator?

Yay 25 view! I like the 1 that gluse filmed but he said it was discusting. All the elevators at train stations here in tarant county, texas r discusting

[@crossleydd42]

Amazing that the guy doesn't seem to realise that these incline lifts are primarily for the use of disabled people and those with children's pushchairs. They cost only about 20% of a conventional shaft lift, but obviously can only be used where escalators exist.

[@Ih8kone]

OH SHUT UP!!! YOU'RE NOT AN ELEVATOR ENTHUSIAST, SO JUST SHUT UP!!!!!!!!

[@Bombiedude.]

I have no idea because Ive never been to either

HEY!!! THATS ME ON THE ESLATOR (just kidding)

[@SJSharkWannabe]

@paul9511 Only because the battery died just after he exited the elevator.

[@LiftEnthusiast2020OFFTOPIC]

the elevator moves the same speed as the escalators
