[@blue.light.fazbear]

Biggest elevator I've ever seen. The doors are really cool

[@aterack833]

The almost explosive sound when the gate part slams down

[@DieselDucy]

It did

[@Khaledamrouche11710]

dieseldusy i love the way you film the elevator because you dont want to get stuck in the elevator like i get stuck in the uk london the otis gen 2 like i press 0 to street level i got stuck in the otis gen 2 lift at the greenford westway tkmax thats why i start filming the ipad

[@alyssamay5828]

Capacity: 16000 Lbs. Speed: 30 FPM (same as a Concord Elevator at the Bedford Museum in Bedford Virginia).

[@TheVegasBlog]

The motor sounds a lot like an Airbus A320 taking off.

[@firealarmsnstuff]

VegasBlog woaaaaah it does

[@CAG2]

Not when you're playing with IAE's. ;)

[@twmax4137]

Ikr

[@Djay_B]

You're not wrong!

[@crownking3752]

the motor sounds like a good old detroit diesel

[@alphazulu3625]

Nice elevator! I love the freights and special service elevators. Great job filming, Andrew! ;)

[@campermike8879]

I saw the Thyssen/Dover van running around Roanoke Sunday

[@ElevatingArizonaByGageWilliams]

Wow! Nice elevator! The motor must have been a beast

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

Sounds like the George R Brown Convention Center Freight Elevator where JimLiElevators has filmed. Sounds like a Montgomery Dry Powered Motor

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

That video was taken on my friend Nicks birthday!

[@CoolestGamerSE]

NEVER SEEN THOSE BEFORE BUT HUGE I THINK THIS IS THE BIGGEST ELEVATOR IN THE WORLD

[@randlofs]

That lift is enormous!

[@Spaceshotx7]

2 days ago, I managed to sucessfully sneak into the Freight elevator at the Museum Of Science in Boston. I think it might have been similar in size, but the elevator dates back to the 70's or earlier.

[@DieselDucy]

+Spaceshotx7 video ?

[@Spaceshotx7]

Sorry, I didn't get a video I was just going as a tourist, and I normally don't go filming elevators like you do. If you ever get a chance to visit, I like to make a video. Its in the Blue Wing of the Science museum via a handicap ramp to the lower level of the Theatre of electricity.

[@willhodgdon8844]

oh yeah, ive been there before, the freight is gigantic! never ridden it tho but might try to sometime

[@daichiipolicarpio6679]

this freight elevator is HUMONGUS!

[@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada]

This elevator is enormous Andrew! It's probably bigger in person than on camera

[@Dana_Danarosana]

I have to wonder with some of these enormous, beautiful elevators just why they made them so big. If you look at the hallways surrounding the elevator, they're much smaller. Nothing that could ever need that wide of a door could ever get to that elevator. So, it's cool and all... but... why?

[@usernameispasswordisusername]

If you're ever in DC, check out the Smithsonian museum freight elevator. It reminds me of this one.

[@DieselDucy]

it is huge!

[@RRXingThusie]

EPIC! I could probably fit both of my minivans in there!

[@skeleguns10oooooo10]

OMG this is HUGE

[@dlelevatorcompany3681]

The buttons on thyssen dovers look different than dovers

[@lormarina]

This thing is a beauty.

[@AnimefanaticEAS]

That Elevator was at a speed of a snail

[@jbush9502]

this thing is literally bigger than most of the rooms at my school I'm not kidding !

[@Undercoverelevator212-s2n]

Dang, that thing is SLOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!

[@qeelevators2960]

This things power unit must be huge! Wow

[@DieselDucy]

I’d imagine.

[@ericnava4021]

That loud buzzer.

[@stumbleguysiscool]

Oldest Elevator Ever In The Whole World!

[@drdegutrez8458]

The worlds largest elevator!

[@EWPA14]

Elevatortoursbyzackpearce Wow! Where is that?

[@bryanschlippjr4894]

elevating western PA this is at the history museum in san antoio

[@HKBFC2014]

I think the largest elevator is located in HKCEC Hong Kong, it has a Schindler with maximum load 45000kg/99208lb (600 persons). Even a 12-meter double decker bus can be rode.

[@AMBYT00]

Talk about a behemoth! Oh my goodness!

[@baystateelevators5379]

I have been on that before when I went to UT Austin to visit it's amazing!

[@DieselDucy]

Cool they took u on it? It is a great elevator

[@baystateelevators5379]

+DieselDucy yea I asked them if i could and they were happily to take me on it

[@DieselDucy]

+BayStateElevators was it the same guy?

[@baystateelevators5379]

+DieselDucy no it was back in 2012 and I think it was someone else

[@DieselDucy]

+BayStateElevators If you have a video of it. please share the link here in the comments.

[@unde-codm8012]

Can you please go to NJ! We have really nice otis and schindler elevators as well as some dovers

[@Bombiedude.]

The one downside is the motor is actually kind of quiet and I have to turn up my volume to hear it and I normally dont like to do that too much because my headphones are bluetooth wireless and I drain the battery faster doing that

[@jameswong6188]

DOVER Freight Elevator Epic Motor

[@DieselDucy]

It was great!

[@TheMatsushitaMan]

never expected to find a D pitched motor on a freight elevator. I thought the D pitched motor was only on the passenger Dovers.

[@bannersxyz]

that's the loudest wow I ever said

[@benjaminluo1720]

If I were to come here, I would not ride the freight elevator. I would ride the main elevators. Is this filmed at an undisclosed location? because I don't see the actual museum name anywhere in this video.

[@Noodleude]

aww, I want to see the motor!!

[@vancouverelevators_transit]

EPIC MOTOR

[@christophergrim856]

Nice Elevator.

[@charliesussman]

Sorry for it not being linked, you can just click on the channel....top vid

[@poopcaillou7336]

Wow it is. A big elevator 😳

[@joachimpaulsen4926]

Can you please come to Norway we have some rare elevators ?

[@alpaljl]

Watching this in 2023. Here's your 200th comment! 🤣 This elevator is crazy cool.

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks Alex 😃😃 hope you are doing well. Call me sometime

[@sarahnez3444]

I love it!

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks

[@benjaminluo1720]

I think the freight elevator is for staff and employees only.

[@mushycookies6470]

Cool how that blue Gate slams down "KABUUUHFFFFF !" 🙉 But more Information would be nice : Exact Sizes? Maximum Load? Speed? How fast is it? And is it faster when it goes down? Does it bounce? Probably won't... but always worth a try 😊 All Parts made in USA? Is it safe to stand between the Doors? Or will those Gates crush you like a Toothpick? Did it run flawlessly since installment or were there any problems or modifications to be made over the years? Maybe the Employees have a funny or wierd story to tell about it?

[@ElevatorsfromItaly]

THIS IS AWESOME!

[@ArisBuliteanu]

Is there a machine room next to the freight elevator on the first floor?

[@rieon-plumbingfan]

3:21 Nice door/Interlock Squeaking

[@Алекстроник]

Danger elevator !

[@BrandonChee]

What are KZbin recommendations up to now

[@chacksespora2147]

Anyhoo. This looks like hellevator.

[@michaelduran1527]

Beautiful motor

[@mayshum4883]

This lift is 600000KG 113per

[@danielmarreviews3947]

This is awesome!! Very big!!

[@Sam_420]

Love the video!, Any safety on that blue door? Like if your in the me way?

[@DieselDucy]

Think it was black

[@Motorman_G]

Cool Dover

[@HannahJL84]

Lessening motor at 0:01:27

[@Bombiedude.]

You could probably fit a small semi truck in there and the elevator would probably still lift it up with no problem

[@DieselDucy]

Probably at least a couple cars.

[@robloxadventuresandmorenpc6647]

Holy god that’s terrifying for me

[@skeleguns10oooooo10]

Request: do an elevator at the church ave garage at new years

[@DieselDucy]

+skeleguns 10,ooo,ooo I'm at work :(

[@skeleguns10oooooo10]

than at your 24th aneversery

[@CYLONLIFTSROBLOX]

0:49 why there are 2 panel and 2 indicator in this elevator

[@DieselDucy]

One for if you are on a fork lift

[@HKBFC2014]

I think the largest elevator is located in HKCEC Hong Kong, it has a Schindler with maximum load 45000kg (600 persons) for transporting huge exhibition materials. A double decker can also be rode

[@Duetotechnicaldifficulties]

one that sucks about mobile devices is the links added to videos don't work.

[@DieselDucy]

+Dale Staranchuk yeah I know. :( I wish it did since I think more people watch KZbin on mobile now then on desktop

[@Khaledamrouche11710]

cool

[@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009]

Courion: PEELLE’S arch rival

[@ElevatingEurope]

It could probably fit a 3-speed gate.

[@SuperElevatorBoy]

1:16 that door SLAMMED

[@DieselDucy]

+Mahuna dog yes it did. It was loud

[@janeeleanorknight8688]

Something I rarely hear...an E-flat motor.

[@missourielevators9252]

looks like those are Curion doors

[@DieselDucy]

i believe so.

[@dlelevatorcompany3681]

The numbers on thyssen dovers look different than dovers

[@whited586]

Awesome video love it!

[@SamSitar]

the elevator is enormous. after the doors close there are two or three loud noises then elevator moves. what are those loud noises?

[@KBilt92]

The first softer noise is the sound of the doors relaxing. After the door is closed, the motors continue to put closing pressure on the doors for a second or two (to make sure they are, in fact, closed). When the motors relax, the door panels spring back a tiny amount, resulting in a small noise. The louder noise right after this is the retiring cam. It's mounted on the side of the car and is normally dropped forward so as to unlock the hoistway door interlock. Just before the car is about to move, the cam quickly pulls back to lock the doors. When this happens, the interlock mechanism makes a clunk sound.

[@Tommy_Toughnuts5421]

It’s the clutch that makes a lot of noise. How that works is the clutch moves fast

[@seanjuth]

+DieselDucy was he in the machine room at the end

[@elevatormuseum9616]

Awesome!!!!

[@passacaglia28]

Andrew, did you just refer to a forklift as a "towmotor"? You are originally from Missouri, right? Is that what they are called in that state? Anyway - this thing is EPIC!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@DieselDucy]

+David Irwin yep :) I call It a tow motor

[@passacaglia28]

DieselDucy Nothing wrong with that. :)

[@Ashuhlee621]

That elevator goes so slow I wonder why because it’s so heavy that it has a heavy motor I think

[@NathanCE]

For the people who are complaining that its slow. What did you expect it to be?

[@googaagoogaa12345678]

Nathance exactly you would think people would know that an elevator designed for freight and able to lift 16000 pounds would be slow why would something like that need speed

[@GaryBeltz]

why does it make that buzzing noise when the doors are closing?

[@GaryBeltz]

***** when did elevators start coming with a nudge mode alarm? The Westinghouse elevators in the apartment complex my dad lived in back in the 80s had it and idk when the building or the elevators were originally installed.

[@chickenman-kf5qs]

oh my... it's a impulse freight...

[@Tellr9]

it was moving up and down very slowly

[@GaryBeltz]

I was thinking the same thing actually

[@CDNSpartan]

I remember a few weeks ago bring a laptop cart upstairs at my school the elevator was running slow. I thought it was stuck

[@Twentythree33]

But that's good for us, because we get to appreciate the motor for longer!

[@coreysmith8560]

This is a Texas sized freight elevator.

[@SPCcranford1056]

Wow!

[@nikospodas6201]

CAPTAINELEVATOR 42189 THE INDICATOR CHANGES AHEAD BEFORE IT GETS TO THE FLOOR

[@skeleguns10oooooo10]

[@DieselDucy]

+skeleguns 10,ooo,ooo maybe old parts ?

[@stumbleguysiscool]

1850s Otis Elevator

[@bryanschlippjr4894]

oh my god, that 16,000 pounds is way huge, and the motor pitch is a very low D

[@dianaduinkerke6779]

Big elevator

[@joew_vee]

Can't you check the capacity on those things?

[@DieselDucy]

+Joe Poe yes it is on the plate. I think I mentioned it in the video. Did i?

[@Bombiedude.]

16000 pound capacity that could probably lift a small semi like I said before

[@DieselDucy]

Totally

[@qeelevators2960]

How many HP is the motor?
