Destroyed Schindler 330a Hydraulic Elevator @ The Fairmont Parking Garage - Fairmont, WV

[@EWPA14]

This takes vandalized Schindlers to a WHOLE new level.

[@stlelevators]

Haha yeah

[@ElevatorsInternational]

Wow! This elevator sounds like it runs well. But almost everything is vandalized in one way or another.

They need the VR buttons here for sure :P

you should come back in a couple of weeks and see how it is doing

I would but it's not easily accessible for me.

2 of them are already gone, but without the main one the lights and other things wouldn't work right.

Omg that is really bad! Lol! This Schindler could use a little TLC.

[@stlelevators]

Just a little :P

[@neaelevator]

So vandalizing a Schindler hydro actually takes out all of the popping and creaking sounds that they normally have. LOL For a parking garage one that ran extremely well.

[@stlelevators]

Haha. Just because the fixtures are falling off doesn't mean the elevator has to run poor!

[@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433]

The garage should’ve went with VR fixtures. And this elevator reminds me of the Dover that The Elevator Channel filmed at the country club, that had the indicator basically destroyed.

[@stlelevators]

VR fixtures would have been a LOT better here.

[@ElevatingArizonaByGageWilliams]

I totally agree!

[@aaronmanchester3194]

Yeah, it's like the twin brother of the one at the CCH only 10x more beaten up.

[@mariokart8715]

Does that elevator need to be modded by Otis with VR fixtures??

[@stlelevators]

They don’t need a full mod, just one to fix the fixtures.

[@TXMNElevators]

Yeah someone is definitely trying to steal those parts, there no way these parts would just be falling off on an elevator this new.

Yeah…

They should've gone with the Vandal Resistant HT instead! Standard VR is definitely *not* the best choice for vandalism risk environments like parking garages like this. At least whoever ruined that poor floor indicator didn't smashed it.

[@elevatortoiletandtransitfa9258]

Any updates on this elevator right now?

[@stlelevators]

The last person who went here said it was broken. Someone probably yanked the indicator off.

[@NWIndianaElevators]

Maybe someone was a huge fan of Schindler, and they decided to wreck this elevator to see if Schindler would do a mod on this thing...

[@stlelevators]

Wrecking the fixtures doesn’t mean a full mod

[@TransitAndTeslas]

@@stlelevators Correct. At most they would probably just replace the fixtures with the same ones.

Has this elevator even been repaired by now?

I'm not sure. Last I heard it was just broken for good.

[@KaTyJP]

This video shows how tough Schindler elevators are

[@stlelevators]

The fact it still is working says a lot.

[@elevcarwashsirensandmore21]

And thats how you get free elevator parts. I was surprised to see this working ehen you filmed it. They need to modernize this. This is something Sam (Elevating Western Washington) and Justin (Jowevator 3219) would like to see.

[@ProspectElevators]

Again, should've went with HT VR

[@stlelevators]

For sure

[@Smurfy1999]

They should mod that elevator with HT VR.

[@stlelevators]

That would be a good idea.

Some are missing; they remove the other COP and put a blank metal plate up to the left of the inner door. A second car panel and floor indicator is no longer needed. Install new HT lanterns. Everybody has been complaining about this elevator.
