In depth look at a ThyssenKrupp Isis Elevator (Cartop ride/elevator surfing and Pit view)

I don't think this has ever been seen online before but here is a detailed look at a ThyssenKrupp ISIS. PLEASE NOTE!! NEVER attempt ANYTHING you see here! This was done in a controlled environment with proper clearances. Sadly this elevator is no more however it lives on in the elevaTOURS elevator museum.

It's amazing that modern elevators don't need gigantic machines in a big room over the shaft any more. Just a tiny motor and some small gears at the top of the shaft. Awesome video DD!

[@Darknecros7]

Yeah. Elevator tech is amazing. Check out Thyssenkrupp's website and you will see they are developing a new elevator system called "MULTI"

At my dads work they have a giant crane along the ceilings of these 2 buildings made for fish counting and loading of the fish truck (he works at the department of water resources fish facility) and the cranes have a remote and it runs similar to this. There are multiple speeds for leveling, except the cranes go both vertical and horizontal

Another short-lived model produced by ThyssenKrupp was the Studio. However, unlike the ISIS, It was available as both a hydraulic and a traction.

That thing in the pit you called a computer is a ups ( universal power supply) more than likely. If they lose building power that ups will run the sump pump for awhile. 👍

[@schweizerd6303]

Those inspection controls are look so much different than the fixtures in the UK, but the operation princple is the same to push both enable and up or enable and down. In the UK we have turn switches usually for Inspection/Normal instead of push for inspection here. Push to stop is pretty much the same. Also didnt see a door open switch / close here either.

[@psirvent8]

Except that you have to first enable inspection service from inside the car with a special key. After that (The doors are still open) you can lower the elevator from a landing keyswitch to access the cartop. In theory you could just send the car to the floor below and open the landing door with the drop key (Like we do in Europe) but I don't know if the cartop controls would be working without prior activation of the in-car "inspection service" keyswitch.

I would never enter a shaft or do try anything (Unless I became an elevator repair tech of course), in this video, but I do have a question. Is it scary riding cartop? Also, how risky is riding this way for technicians? Seeing this video had me wondering this. Also, Is the ThyssenKrupp Isis, Traction or Hydro type elevator?

[@DieselDucy]

It is VERY risky if you don't know what you are doing. I did not find it scary cause I have done it several times with technicians. For technicians, in inspection service it is not risky, HOWEVER at full speed it can be VERY dangerous. Also this is TRACTION.

[@ZLDSmogless]

If that white box was the main computer, that's an interesting choice of location. Flooding would kill that pretty quickly too. Looks like it might be more of a battery backup though. Looks very close to an old APC 1k (which were a huge pain in the butt to swap batteries out on.)

[@TheLiftDragon]

Very interesting video. I've never seen the internals of one of these before. The pastic pulleys are getting more and more common where I live as well. This here might be the slowest inspection speed I've ever seen until now. Schindler in Europe uses a default of 0.3 m/s for their logics with VF drives (although some 5500s seem to be alot faster). With a simple 2-speed logic you obviously get levelling speed, although I've already seen an exception here (this lift was only moving 0.75m/s though). The fastest set inspection speed I've seen on a modern logic on a conventional traction elevator was 0.6m/s, while only going at 0.3m/s between the two bottom and the two top floors. Regarding car top rides at full speed... I kindly point to the 1954 Otis video from December 2017. xD

[@elevator_satellite]

I heard that you can set the inspection speed on some 5500s by pressing stop and pushing either direction button repeatedly many times, it will make it go faster. I did it before on a S5500 simulator. You should try!

[@TheLiftDragon]

@@elevator_satellite Ok that sounds interesting. Theoretically I could try it, but I don't have any use for it, since in case of a 5500 it could just be set in the CO-MX under the Speed/Accel settings. Or generally in any controller or VF drive.

What does two to one roping mean, Andrew?

[@ElevatorCreator]

Corey & Colton Two to one roping more commonly known by 2:1 roping is when the elevator car and counterweight have a pulley each where the ropes pass thru, the dead end of the ropes are terminated in the overhead after being pulled over the machine. This system of roping has a mechanic advantage by being able to lift a heavier load with less effort by the motor because the building is holding up half the weight. The trade off is the elevator runs slower, by that i mean ever 2 feet of rope passed over the machine the car or counterweight moves 1 foot.

As I can see in this and other videos, inspection speed is slow as hell in the US. Not the same in Europe where on some elevators that I have surfed the inspection speed is pretty much the same as the full speed of the one you showed in this video. Most elevators at least in my country and in the UK have pretty generous inspection speeds. And Yes I also surf at full speed when there's enough space at the top and when I think it's not too dangerous on that particular elevator.
