I got stuck in the elevator! Caught on Camera! EPIC FAIL trapped and self rescue

We all know and love Dover elevators. HOWEVER like any machine, it requires MAINTENANCE. The owner of this elevator is KNOWN for neglecting to maintain their elevators. This video shows the result of poor maintenance.. elevator gets stuck at 4:40

Well if you are stuck on a floor, you can just open the elevator and escape yourself! But do it at your own risk as the elevator could move while getting out.

[@gustavgans3760]

Elijah Torres Elevators can not move if the door is open

[@elijahtorres2688]

Gustav Gans but the doors could close before moving and end up crushing their hands!

[@beedslolkuntus2070]

Elijah Torres Usually when the doors open and they don't work, it means the lift already put its own self out of services, especially when generics from UK and all. But other brands of lifts, you need to be careful

[@aprilkolwey4779]

I think this might have been your fault, actually - many elevators have a "motor limit timer" that trips and shuts down the elevator if it has been moving continuously for more than a certain time, usually about twice as long as it takes to go from one terminal landing to the other. Since you were using that "Dover trick" to make it run continuously without ever actually stopping and opening the doors, the motor limit timer never reset and eventually tripped.

[@DatamasterCorporation]

That seems rather unlikely

[@sapphirefranchi8830]

@@DatamasterCorporation if you think about it, it's a old elevator so she could be right

[@hyvahyva]

What even is that "Dover Trick"? I vaguely remember finding that on some old Dovers there were oddities where you could make it skip a floor call, but it only worked on one or two where I tried it... and another oddity where you could just hold door open and pop out at a disabled floor as it passed

[@elevcan2312]

April kolwey it wasnt his fault

[@stevereeves9104]

MLT wouldn't be associated with a traction elevator. MLT is for hydraulic elevators so the pump motor doesn't run continuously in event of an electrical or mechanical failure.

OMG one of my fears is getting stuck in an elevator. I had to always use a freight elevator at work (when I worked as a food court cleaner I had to take the garbage cart upstairs to the garbage compactor), not sure what brand but it didn't have a gate in it, and it was old as hell.

We stopped and we expected the door to open, but it didn't...... We freaked out. It turned out, Somebody in the building had cut the power to the elevator because they thought nobody was in there! (It was near closing time) We were stuck in there for about 30 minutes.

I have a caption for you guys for this one. Escaping Schindler's lift. Oh by the way speaking of escaping an elevator this is a real life story that happened at our church years ago at the recital for the Christmas Pageant. This was the worst night I have ever had there in terms of technical difficulties. And yes I am a techie and yes I know elevators. Even those I was not church staff I was trand 2 restart and operate the elevator which was due at the time and would frequently malfunction and sometimes even get stuck and yes I was stuck in it once or twice as far as I can remember. But that night everything went wrong that could have including the over there but first we we're doing the pageant we lost power to most Sanctuary window lights balcony and the Oregon oops We were only pulling around about as much extra power as some electric heaters due to lights that we had borrowed from school from stage crew where I was also their technician the dude prepares and just everything else electronic and electrical. I also did a v work for our church sometimes as a backup person. MI father was the Church musician at that time and choir director. And it was me that finally got power restored. Checked all Breakers Terraria nothing tripped turns out we blew a feeder for that area. But that was just a start everything else that could have gone wrong did but the highlight of it all. More presisley the low light. Which actually was the middle. Another words two of our people coming down from what were using for a dressing area wild up stuck between floors. And then me and. MI father we went down to the elevator equipment room off the Boiler Room WeeWorld up trying to reset the elevator bicycling power 5 or more times and even before that I said Dad I think I might have a good idea to get the elevator drop key because we know there between force by that says yes do it Turns out that was a good idea because still there did not reset and would not regain operation. So I wound up using a drop key the manually open the doors and had them get down flat and we had people all that for help them down once. Thay squeeze through Worst Christmas pageant rehearsal ever and all time probably.

They are a good brand but are a pain to work on. They have their own controllers and the doors are controller by motors and chains. They are quite a beast to work on when you don't have that many dealings with them. I know of at least 3 sites now in London UK that have either replaced the doors with manual shutters or ripped out completely. I also know an engineer got killed many years ago at a car factory fitted with these doors. He was on car top and lent over doors. Car door raised the end :(
