Brand New KONE Hydraulic Elevator at Lord & Taylor in Stamford, CT

Installed in 1969, Overhauled in 2017. The pump is NOT original.

[@Fantech0104]

No!!! I can't believe they modernized this elevator! I filmed this in 2013 and this was an awesome elevator! I can't believe the redid the whole cab. In my opinion, Kone did do a good job on the modernization but I don't the decision made to modernize the elevator.

This also has happened to Lord and Taylor in the Prudential Center.

Now I know what newer KONE elevators are supposed to look like.

[@mallguy8970]

[@dea41396returns]

MallGuy89 the motor is not original. It is similar to the original one though.

They did something similar to JCPenney Westfield Meriden... It had a Dover hydraulic elevator and KONE modernized it, and replaced the pump not making it traction...

What did they do to the freight elevator?

[@davidng2336]

Damn we lost another great elevator...but isn't KONE a traction only elevator company?

[@AN-yy9cq]

They still make hydros using equipment from third parties like MCE

[@tkefan29]

@@Ih8kone Penalty of law? That is 100% BS. There is no law saying that every elevator company has to make hydraulic elevators.

[@tkefan29]

@David Ng - KONE did quit making hydros for new installs back in 2007, but they still do hydro modernizations to this day.

@@Ih8kone wow. under penalty of law. will have to evaluate that statement frirnd

[@alpaljl]

Knowing what the old elevator looked like, I’m not a fan of the cab at all.

[@NWIndianaElevators]

So wait?? They overhauled the 1969 DOVER with this crap?? Why Lord & Taylor why?? We lost another great elevator with this crap!!

NW Indiana Elevators I swear the vintage and awesome elevator leg of our hobby is dying

@@Ih8kone - SUE L&T for modding their elevator? I've never heard anything more ridiculous in my life. They didn't break any *actual* laws. And besides you being super triggered, you haven't been negatively affected, so there is no reason to sue them. Get a reality check, buddy.

[@tkefan29]

Kicking the elevator could be seen as intentional damage of property (which is a crime) and they could *actually* sue you for that. So don't go around saying they should be sued, and then suggest that I go to this store (hundreds of miles from where I live) and commit an illegal act.

[@blueauraretriever]

@@Ih8kone or we can leave the lift alone and just not ride it at all

[@FloridianElevators]

HOW DARE THEY MOD THE AWESOME 60s DOVER WITH THE EPIC MOTOR!?!?!? YUCK!!!! YUCK!!!! YUCK!!!
