This is the best Target elevator ever with that motor!

[@missourielevators9252]

Literally one of my personal favorites of St Louis.

[@stlelevators]

It's not THAT cool lol

[@missourielevators9252]

@@stlelevators true but it's still pretty nice. I tried to film the freight at Plaza Frontenac it was too risky the service was a piece of cake

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

Definitely one of the best motors I've heard, minus the beeping in the background

[@stlelevators]

Yea I'm not sure what that beeping is.

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

[@LiftEnthusiast2020OFFTOPIC]

That motor is something I could listen to for hours

[@ECFE]

MEI never disappoints with their freight installations.

[@stlelevators]

Well, Kone installed this one. It's common for other companies to install elevators with MEI stuff.

[@ECFE]

Oh yeah. Schindler does it ALL the time.

Yoooo! I remember when the elevator race with Dieselducy took place at these Target Store elevators!

[@stlelevators]

Haha yeah

Huge elevator 🛗

[@Dana_Danarosana]

I knew about Schindler installing MEI under contract while MEI went through restructuring. I wasn't aware of KONE did MEI installs.

[@stlelevators]

Yep they do.

Love the motor.

I do too.

very entertaining motor sound.

I wish this video was longer because it’s so epic

[@stlelevators]

Well it would basically be the same thing again, so just rewind lol

[@ElevatorsinFlorida]

Nice motor

[@stlelevators]

This one is really loud!

[@DuckDoesStuff_KY]

Is this just an elevator you can walk into? Without being questioned or asked to leave?

[@BuildingToursForLife1660-4]

Nice freight elevator with an epic motor! So are both elevators installed by KONE or MEI? I'm a little bit confused because I just read the description, it said it was installed by KONE in 2005

[@stlelevators]

Kone installed it but the equipment is MEI.

Is this the Target where Andrew got his Diet Pepsi?

That was a different store.

[@stlelevators]

There’s nothing saying it isn’t

[@Spaceshotx7]

Does the passenger elevator next to the freight elevator use the same elevator machine room and share the same shaft as the freight elevator?

[@stlelevators]

I’d assume so.

[@joannewu6394]

interesting that they put a freight elevator next to the passenger one

[@stlelevators]

Well the freight is used to move the carts up from the garage.

[@GaryBeltz]

What do the signs say that the yellow arrows are pointing at on each door?

[@missourielevators9252]

If you are the last person off the freight elevator press the door close button freight elevator will not move until door is closed

[@BrandondHasty]

Door close doesn’t work with rear door

[@Elevatingtransportation370]

Did you film the passenger elevator?

You did!

[@stlelevators]

I did years ago.

Door stop works on this one

[@stlelevators]

Door stop usually works on freights.

[@missourielevators9252]

@@stlelevators true but not all. I've ridden two with working door stop this one and another MEI freight at the State Street Target Store in downtown Chicago, Illinois

Installed in 2005

[@stlelevators]

That's literally what is in the description...

[@missourielevators9252]

​@@stlelevatorsI prefer the freight over the passenger it's much louder

[@lenaa2003]

There’s no way to get to ride a freight! There’s one at Macys Galleria Ft Lauderdale that got replaced with this type of elevator.
