EPIC MOTOR! Modernized Montgomery hydraulic freight elevator at Tysons Corner Center in Tysons VA

(01/02/2023) This thing has one of the best motors I've ever heard! Millennium Elevator (who is a distributor of MEI) did a great job tastefully modding this. The doors are still original, but the equipment and interior gate have been redone by Peelle.
This is the food court freight at Tysons. The doors where they say "Emergency Exit Only" next to the TGI Friday's (third floor), the Haagen Dazs (second floor), and the Seven Eleven (first floor) are where you enter this corridor.
As a kind disclaimer, I do not encourage sneaking into unauthorized areas.
Quick Facts:
Capacity: 8000 (3630 kgs)
Doors: Vertical Center Parting (manufactured by Guilbert, retrofitted by Peelle in 2005) and single gate (redone by Peelle)
Fixtures: Innovation Security (probably had G&P before this)
Est. Construction/Install Year: 1967
Est. Modernization Year: 2005
Fun Factor: Epic

This is original from Woodie's. The passenger elevator is still here as well, it's on the opposite side of the building with a mod done by JCPenney
