[GONE] Express Elevators at Block 6 Boon Keng Road HDB, Singapore

• UPDATE (Oct 2020): These elevators along with the others at Block 4 and 5 have been replaced into Shenyang Brilliant (by EM Services) from the 3rd quarter of 2020 to 2nd quarter of 2021. RIP (1990s - 2021)
This wasn't a very good take as the other one wasn't working due to maintenance by OTIS, therefore the other one was very busy. Very identical to the ones at Block 4 and 5 which I've film before. The original voice announcement and chimes have been replaced.
Installed by The Express Lift Co. Ltd. from Northampton, England which has been acquired by OTIS in 1997. Back in the 1990s, Express Lift supplied loads of elevators for HDB blocks in Singapore. Another similar installations like this can be found in Boon Lay, Woodlands, Pasir Ris and Mei Ling Street.

Buttons: Dewhurst UL100
Maintained by: Otis Elevator Company (S) Pte. Ltd.

Fancy floor indicator. Looks like a bus or a metro train style display. Very cool indeed.

Think it was intended to be long enough to display more information in more detail in an emergency e.g. "Fire do not use lift", "Please press alarm button for rescue", especially as lifts in public housing estates in this country, like this lift, are monitored only remotely (perhaps to save money) & thus it may take longer to rescue to arrive

nice express lift

[@jonnydoman1338]

These are nice

[@SamSitar]

very clean as well.

[@hotmixer2010]

The chime is used by Sigma and Hitachi, so most likely it's a generic one. Voiceover is taken from Otis Gen2 MRL lifts

[@idl3k_elev]

I watched this video again. The announcement sounds like the one used in BNF lifts in HDB. Probably a generic voice.

[@caja1491]

Actually, Sigma chime. As Blk 780 Pasir Ris Street 71 still has it.

[@namhyeongkim_cos]

Aku curiga ini lift chimenya diganti sama OTIS, makhlum bbrp lift OTIS di Jepang (mulai seri 3200 sampai Elevonic 401-411) chimenya juga ada yang kayak ginu

[@idl3k_elev]

Mungkin saja. Pas aku rekam lift ini ada teknisi OTIS di bawah which is why lift yang satunya OOS.

[@elevatorfilmersg]

I hope the lifts here won't get modernised

[@idl3k_elev]

Unfortunately these lifts along with the others at Block 4 and 5 will be replaced by EM Services (probably into Shenyang Brilliant/BLT) very soon. The whole project is expected to start from the 3rd Q of 2020 and will be completed by the 2nd Q of 2021. Refer to Shawn's video of the Block 5 lifts.

IDLift3000 sad

[@reihansantoso828]

itu di menit 0:49 kayaknya ada security tuh

[@idl3k_elev]

Itu bukan security, itu teknisi dari OTIS.

[@reihansantoso828]

+IDLift3000 oh.. ok

[@LunarTesting23]

Replaced by EM unfortunately 🥲

[@idl3k_elev]

Blocks 4, 5 and 6 have all been replaced. I've filmed the new EM/Brilliant lifts at Block 4 two months ago.
