Dangerous Cable! Schindler S Series? Traction Lift @(Private Location), VIC

Schindler Traction Lift. This lift is one of my favorites though unfortunately things are waring out quickly, such as the cable on the 2nd floor (Yellow Level) I had removed the location as I don't want the centre to be blamed for normal issues that happen, I did however explain to the help desk how dangerous the situation was as it was a steel cable and could easily hurt a child or an elderly person.
Interesting point! The motor sound on this lift is extremely awesome, I believe this is a bottom drive traction lift as it doesn't seem to run like a hydro.
Thank you for watching! Uploads will vary due to time/weather/location so I do apologize in advance for lack of uploads.

If you know where this place is please don't put it in the comments as I don't want the centre to get backlash for this issue, as in the last part, they've taken it out of service really fast.

[@Samuelselevatorchannel]

Sounds like a shopping centre, the lift needs to be upgraded, the same thing happened at a shopping centre in Burwood where the cable fell off. Respect for a centre is a good thing you did.

[@360_lifts6]

Yeah, I don’t like it when people explain the reasons as to why it doesn’t matter and that they’re “Just a company”, I did it for the respect of the centre as no one would like it if they owned a centre and blasted that the lifts are dangers.

[@t3224.elevators_nz]

Also, good on you for looking out for the centre’s social integrity by keeping it private! I honestly never think of that when elevators break at a certain location…

[@360_lifts6]

Exactly! It’s not their fault that these normal issues happen, why should they get backlash for regular wear and tear?

[@busesaroundmelbourne]

Considering that the whole joint already has possibly the worst reputation purely because of its location, and that the owners are a corporation, not a local company, does it matter?

[@360_lifts6]

@@busesaroundmelbourne I was just being nice, can you even be nice without being questioned??

[@busesaroundmelbourne]

@@360_lifts6 That’s good, yet it really doesn’t matter. I’m sure a video of a lift on KZbin is the least of anyones worries when they hear about this place. Most people would probably be more worried about being mugged than hurt by a lift! Half the centre will be demolished soon anyway.

[@pakenhamtrain]

It is a bottom drive traction. The only thing that's changed on it in 2 decades is the S series hall indicators were replaced out with the red LED ones.

[@t3224.elevators_nz]

Really a shame, that. Especially considering how nice this lift is. Though, to all the people who just whinge about “oLd LiFtS gEt mOdDeD fOr nO rEaSoN bEcAuSe pEoPLe hAvE nO tAsTe iN LiFtS”… I hope y’all understand that things like this are often the reason _for_ a mod, and they’re more than legitimate.

[@TheDragonFire123]

This is why Lifts We Lost is more than just a hall of shame of mods that I hate; it's a careful review of why exactly modernisations were unneeded or pay little respect. That said, I doubt this is a fatal issue for this; the cable can simply be cut.

[@busesaroundmelbourne]

The location is pretty clear in the video to anyone with eyes

[@360_lifts6]

Making it the least obvious.

[@elevatorsfromsoutheastqld]

Wow! This elevator really needs to be replaced by Schindler 5000.

[@TheDragonFire123]

Yeah, nah. Other than the QKS9 doors it's in pretty good shape.

[@TheDragonFire123]

Such a shame it's badly broken like this; it really does look like a decent lift and mod.

[@360_lifts6]

It should be alright. I assume it just needs a new bracket and to be re-tightened.

[@LiftsInAustralia]

Very dangerous that is. I love that motor however!

[@LiftsInAustralia]

@@360_lifts6 Did you read my comment wrong? I did say motor. Hopefully that doesn't sound rude

@@LiftsInAustralia Oh jeez, yes I did. Been unwell lately so I tend to glance over things.
