21 STORY Otis Series 5 Traction Elevators at Cayman Tower, Carribean Beach Resort, Myrtle Beach, SC

Filmed in March 2019.
After finding and filming the 20 STORY Otis Series 5's at my Hotel I stayed at (The Wyndham Towers on the Grove), you probably didn't think I'd find a TALLER Series 5 than those!!! Well, guess what? I DID!!! Although, these only goes up one more floor than the ones at the Wyndham and these are quite slow for 21 floors at only about 350 FPM. Still, this is definitely not at all something you see everyday, And with that said, I hope you enjoy the video, of these busy and rather basic, but decent elevators.
Installed in 2007.

Tallest series 5 Gen2 ever found possibly

[@geneseetrainselevators2448]

Your videos are getting fantastic! I sat through this whole video and watched it. Great video and great take of these elevators. 😇

There's an office building Downtown San Diego with 15 story Series 5... didn't expect to see one taller than that. This clearly wins.

[@elevating_western_washington]

Very nice find, also it’s got the cheap egg lantern!

[@Photoelectric_Elevators]

Interesting find!

[@ElevatorDude]

350 FPM is too slow for 21 floors. These should be at least 400-600 FPM.

[@roblox-cb6jc]

rude that little girl pressed the button for you arrggggg!!!!!

[@elevatorsinrussia2597]

ElevatorDog100 has found a 24-STORY Otis Series 5.

[@brandon9685]

I know there is an even higher set of Otis Series 5. The Anderson Ocean Club has Series 5 that are 22 stories which is also in Myrtle Beach.

At least it isn’t Schindler MT

[@tkefan29]

What do you have against MT? Some of the MT hydros might be crap but the tractions are epic

[@QuarioQuario54321]

tkefan29 The floor passing chime

[@geneseetrainselevators2448]

tkefan29 bro you said it. Schindler MT traction’s are lit...

[@tkefan29]

As it happens I found my first MT 500As today, what are the odds lol

[@daganiojacob18]

ACME indicator is bold

[@restroomselevatorsofflorid2102]

They’re actually 20 story because there is no floor 13

[@elevatorsinrussia2597]

Gen2 goes maximum speed of 500 fpm so they can't go 600 fpm.

[@blueauraretriever]

350 for only ~200 foot distance? Not bad :) :) and nice find 🔥🔥 Iove the vintage style cabs

[@tkefan29]

If Techyboy says not bad then it's definitely too slow

[@QuarioQuario54321]

It should go 600

Me & my family going to Myrtle Beach this summer in August for a week! We will be staying here at the Caribbean Resort & Villas and we are renting a four bedroom condo in the Cayman Tower and I will be sure to upload a lot when I go to Myrtle Beach! This will be my 2nd time going to Myrtle Beach this summer after going to Myrtle Beach 10 years ago back in 2010 when we stayed at Coral Beach Resort Hotel & Suites which was also one of the nicer ones (probably renovated by now). These elevators and this hotel definitely seems like one of the nicest hotels on the main strip of Myrtle Beach! These elevators are probably some of the best maintained in Myrtle Beach too! I love the cabs and architecture of this resort! Nice video as always and keep up the outstanding work! :) Btw, how many times have you been to Myrtle Beach, and doesn’t this hotel have a 1960's Otis Black Button Elevator in the oldest building as seen in escalatorgeek881's "Caribbean Resort & Villas Elevator Movie"?

[@FloridianElevators]

Thanks, and these do indeed run pretty well. The Dominican Tower though, not so much...

[@GardenStateElevators]

Floridian Elevators Are these Otis GEN2 MRL Traction Elevators or Otis Elevonic 411 Traction Elevators? And didn’t the Antique Otis Black Button Elevator in the Jamaican Building get an Otis Series M2 Modernization?

[@FloridianElevators]

@@GardenStateElevators These are Gen2, and as for your question, sadly yes.

[@GardenStateElevators]

Floridian Elevators Are Myrtle Beach hotels paranoid about filming or could they care less? Because, I am planning on filming a lot in Myrtle Beach on vacation.

[@FloridianElevators]

@@GardenStateElevators I don't think most places would like to see you filming, I just got away with it with no problems lol. I didn't ask at most places, I just rode lol

[@spwprivate]

This one is Series 5 E411

[@bryanschlippjr4894]

Hey Julian did you know that a new hotel in universal studios is being built this year? It's called Dock side inn with 2 thousand rooms.

[@theelrussiano2584]

I’ve been there and was stuck in the left elevator in Dominican tower

[@CaydenLudlow]

Cheap quality, not bad tho

[@flushometer19_8]

I found an 11 story apartment building

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

Ew!! Those Egg Lanterns!!

[@geneseetrainselevators2448]

Train & Elevatorfan8150 lmao I hate those too. 😂🤣😅

[@tkefan29]

They're so cheap and unreliable... they should have just stuck with the digital arrows.
