That's a unique piece ! 3 counterweights for 1 elevator and use of both cables and chains, that's the first time I see such a layout !

[@KofelinaPL]

It's nice that the shaft can be seen without the ceiling. Very interesting lift!

[@SproutyPottedPlant]

That's gorgeous! Also nice how the shaft lights are on for a great view of the counterweight(s)

[@JFinnerud]

Hm... I am curious to the chain drive part. Ar they just there as an un-powered feature to balance out the load an counterweights?. An interesting setup indeed.

Great video! :)

[@dykodesigns]

Wow that thing is epic! Weird that it has no ceiling, it has a massive chassis and multiple counterweights. You'd expect a lift of this size to be hydraulic considering the load.

I also find it interesting that this elevator uses a mix of chains and cables
