0:11 LOL your reaction to the elevator replacement. It's sad to see a Vintage Otis freight bite the dust.

[@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada]

When you said "No no no" I have to agree with you on that one, why would they get rid of a good old Otis Black button with some cheap generic freight elevator.

[@user-vacgod2739]

Yeah. Stupid cheap modern crap.

[@willsheposh363]

Bye-Bye old Otis freight elevator, hello to the center-opening 2-speed door.

[@youtubeuser7082]

Aka......... service elevator

[@youtubeuser7082]

The Goods lift with a center-opening 2-speed door is a Service Elevator, where as the goods lift with a Door and a gate behind it is a Freight Elevator

[@GaryBeltz]

"And he is going to....NO NO NO!" :XD

[@youtubeuser7082]

And Now also converted to service elevator since the total replacement. Formerly freight elevator, now service elevator

[@DieselDucy]

Yep

[@AlexElevatorFan]

Thanks a lot Bagby!

[@Bombiedude.]

I think the most likely reason they modernized it was because the doors on the old one were probably very heavy and employees were complaining about it so they added automatic doors to it and basically changed the whole cab

[@DieselDucy]

Possibly

[@davidng2336]

RIP! I hate it when elevators like these get ripped out! I guess it's for both freight and people now. EDIT: the other elevator has also been modded.

[@annmorland802]

0:58 sound like a tone on the intercom system like Bogen UTI1.

[@Bombiedude.]

The only positive thing Ill say about this mod is that it runs quite well and the buttons look nice

[@DieselDucy]

It does run well

[@Bombiedude.]

Ill be honest it would look nicer if it had normal walls but Im assuming since its still used as a freight elevator they put temporary walls up to protect the cab from damage

[@statecollegewx4060]

That is so sad to see an old freight elevator go

[@codybrandoncargle3129]

Hmm it looks like Thysssenkrupp replaced the freight elevator and secondly I never knew this what Georgia Tech looks like on the inside considering I’m a huge Georgia Bulldawgs fan lol! 🤣

[@TheUKTransportBlogger]

That chime is from the UK commonly used with the Stentergate voice module.

[@DylanLTindall]

Vertical sliding doors to horizontal sliding doors

[@elijahtorres2688]

That is so ghetto 💀!

[@jnpowl]

Thank you for what you do

[@Bombiedude.]

I remember my older sisters college dorm had a really old elevator in it I think it was an old otis since it had the diamond plate/industrial steel texture on the inner doors and the cab which you only see on really old elevators it was modernized with innovation security buttons but it was still cool to see a bit of history still on it Im not gonna give the location for privacy but just thought Id comment about it

[@DieselDucy]

Awesome!!!

[@1_ekul]

This was a really cool elevator, but I have to admit that innovation prestige (I believe this is) looks very nice.

[@elevatorfan7568]

Not a bad mod, but loved the black button a lot better.

[@rodin9075]

This is EPIC!

[@EWPA14]

This is exactly what I fear will happen to a freight elevator in a university near-me.

[@metroelevators4619]

Not bad for a mod

[@Bombiedude.]

You shouldve asked the owners if you could have the old buttons that wouldve been an amazing addition to your display

[@DieselDucy]

it happened when I was not there.

[@Ih8kone]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[@willsheposh363]

They got a 2-speed center-opening door elevator.

[@alessandrovisconi1079]

0:12 My reaction to every elevator being modernized into some generic crap )-:

[@Bombiedude.]

Ill be honest the new elevator would look nicer if it didnt have the wood over the walls but I think since it was the freight elevator they put that on there to protect the walls

[@DieselDucy]

Yeah it would

[@TYSofficial]

Oh no!

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

Definitely Modded by ThyssenKrupp cause it's got that TKE door track & that's NEW

[@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009]

Yeah.. I like ThyssenKrupp. If they modded this while still keeping the elevator’s freight style character I would’ve been okay but you Simply CANNOT do a total replacement. I did come across a total replacement in Toronto but it had glass doors and the cab was quite unique..

[@qeelevators2960]

Hey Dieselducy off topic but in Buckhead Atlanta by the Buckhead Hyatt house there is a 6 floor parking deck with a extremely low on oil elevator and it is really fun. It has been low for around a month and a half now.

[@DieselDucy]

i will have to see it someday.

[@willsheposh363]

The elevator with a single-slide door has redone the cab and has mechanical bells.

[@2trainproductions]

Tasteful.

[@mariokart8715]

Thanks a lot ThyssenKrupp.

[@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433]

I wonder who did the modernization/replacement.

[@NWIndianaElevators]

This is a nice mod!

[@NathanDavisVideos]

I totally agree with you. Why did they have to replace that vintage Otis freight elevator with some generic elevator? What was wrong with that elevator?

[@jackx.cassway]

They ripped out a wonderful Otis black button freight elevator and put in this garbage.

[@BostonElevatorDude]

That's not a good mod IMO as what it replaced but at least the passenger is original

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

Otis black button Elevator just got MODDED by Justin Elevator Company

[@tkefan29]

dude seriously?

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

Yup 🤣🤣 It's a joke bro

[@bigburgerboi2005]

Sad :(

[@Galaxy-ke9mf]

Rest In Peace the old Otis freight elevator 😔

[@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009]

I think you should've done what JimLiElevators did at the Penthouse elevator at the Crown Plaza in Niagara Falls, I do like Modern elevators but NOT EVEN THE CAB WAS WELL DONE!!

[@dakotaschmidt6308]

I completely agree with you Michael Walters! Why do we keep losing old elevators for some moderen generic piece of crap?

[@ex5138]

At least they kept the GAL.

[@davvonmckenzie3911]

really not bad for a mod.

[@SamSitar]

did the second elevator ever serve the 4th floor?

[@tflelevators3104]

This elevator isn't necessarily bad, it just doesn't belong here whatsoever. I'd rather see the original elevator here.

[@jameswong6188]

Passenger Elevator & Freight Elevator

[@DieselDucy]

Ok

[@Earth_Number_12]

I see Gentex SHG’s

[@MrNikeAnimationz]

Old Otis freight elevator

[@MilwaukeeCountyElevators]

Not bad for a mod, but sad the old freight elevator is gone.

[@bryanschlippjr4894]

hey is that still traction?

[@mariokart8715]

It’s a passenger and freight elevator.

[@carselevators930]

2 speed center opening doors? That’s a treat!

[@HaileyJohn12]

This mod is a meh. I don't like how they went with horizontal doors. They aren't heavy duty when compared to the vertical sliding. They should've gone with Peele doors instead.

[@djelevators1254]

R.I.P. Black Button🙏

[@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009]

See, this is a good example of “Murdernized”

[@OfficialSebastiansVideos]

Lol

[@thatelevatordude0697]

Nooo

[@DieselDucy]

It is a shame.

[@ex5138]

Too bad the Otis got innovated.

[@ceoproductions4522]

Is it traction or hydraulic?

[@bryanschlippjr4894]

traction i believe

[@nickpodas5636]

@@bryanschlippjr4894 yes it is the old elevator was traction
