(Epic Motor) Famous Otis Freight Elevator F6 @ East Broadway - Mall of America in Bloomington, MN

(12/18/2020)
*Happy New Year!
Let's start off the new year with an elevator people have asked me about many times. That's right, this is the one and only famous freight elevator F6 at the Mall of America! This thing was made famous by none other than Dieselducy. I had been on this thing once before with MOA staff, but I finally decided to get a ride alone and a video. This shares a shaft with P5 (The huge Otis Vanity elevator) as they are right next to each other. This thing has been maintained very well over the years. The gate and some of the buttons have been replaced, but it runs very well considering it's age. It has a HUGE motor, and a selector unlike any I've ever seen. This thing is also in pretty good shape for being a freight elevator. It has great classic leveling and is pretty quick too! I kept using the door stop function so the doors wouldn't open. The bell is loud and annoying, and the security office is right near these elevators on S and I did NOT wanna get busted. Anyway, this thing is awesome, and I am glad I finally have a video of this thing!

Epic lift! That door bell is super annoying. Wouldn't be surprised if it were the same bell as the alarm.

Looking at your description, that makes me believe you’ve been in the motor room? Are there any videos?

More to come soon! :)

I'd forgotten this one had GAL... A couple of interesting things... Otis using GAL as late as 1992 and no brailles on an elevator that entered service in 1992 (the year that ADA Title III became law).

Wanted to mention using the emergency bell for the door close seems like a bad idea, like reserve emergencies/emergency sounds for people who actually need assistance, don’t ever play around with emergencies

So… as a minor, can I do what your doing
