mini elevaTOUR: The OTIS Elevator Facility in Florence SC with Test Tower

(November 2016) This was a once in a life time experience. I got a full tour of their factory however for obvious trade secret reasons I could not show the factory. What I am able to show you are the awesome elevators and simulators they have here. Enjoy as we check out all the awesome OTIS elevator technology that was brand new in 2016

Very awesome place!! Oh my goodness!!! I will be in heaven if I came to this place since the elevators are there just for you to try out!

[@DieselDucy]

It is amazing

[@ElevatorsInternational]

Wow, this is a really fun place! Those Otis Elevator Simulators and real ones are so cool! I would totally go see this place in-person one day!

[@DieselDucy]

This was amazing

[@NWIndianaElevators]

There’s a typo in the description (it should say 2016)… Anyway, this is a really cool facility and I hope to see this in person someday!

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks for catching that!

[@Trainman2024]

I wish i could see this every day

[@trinamiller100]

That’s some cool OTIS Elevator factory. Wow!!!

[@DieselDucy]

This was cool

[@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada]

That's awesome! I would love to go to an elevator companies test tower, I think it would be a really neat experience

[@ElevatorsInternational]

Same, I would love to see this Facility one day too! (Looks like a really cool place!)

[@DieselDucy]

It was amazing

[@officialSgtPepperArc360]

2:05 - Hey, I recognize that second panel! I rode my first Otis Compass while I was taking a college tour of Syracuse University.

[@DieselDucy]

Awesome !!!

[@FunDudeGirl]

Cool facility. We passed through Florence last year and we never knew Otis had a big place in the area until now.

[@DieselDucy]

It was awesome

[@handdryersrule]

I drive here on the way to FL every time! It's so cool! Unfortunately, I may not be allowed to tour this place for a while.

[@josephbletsas6314]

Why’s that?

[@handdryersrule]

@@josephbletsas6314 This place is off the interstate I travel on the way to Florida, I-95. It’s something about a few minutes off the highway, also I only pass by this town every once in a while.

[@DieselDucy]

This place is cool

[@747sooner]

If you would like to go to the Otis test tower (USA's tallest test tower) in Bristol CT over by its headquarters in Farmington (where the Westfarms Mall is located), I would book a flight to Hartford Bradley BDL with a stopover at a major airline hub. It's only 35 minutes from the airport.

[@DieselDucy]

would love to.

[@Elevatorelectricgate]

I remember those videos of the elevator to nowhere and the elevator with 12 cameras on every angle!

[@DieselDucy]

It was awesome

[@evana6425]

I have a question was this a retake or not because I assume that on of the 2 story elevator Otis was a test. I love this video of the day as well Andrew

[@DieselDucy]

I may have posted some clips from this before.

[@KingsDominionUpdates]

Hi Andrew! I have a cool video recommendation! Double tree by Hilton Norfolk Virginia. They are original Westinghouse with thysenkrupp slap on mod and we’re recently modded by Otis and just finished a couple weeks ago. Would love to see it on here.

[@DieselDucy]

Cool. Next time I’m there.

[@statecollegewx4060]

This is so cool.

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks

[@tetra3ne56scur3]

@DieselDucy do they allow visitors?

[@DieselDucy]

unfortunately not.

[@stfplumbingelevatorsandmore]

Woah, thats quite a cool place!

[@DieselDucy]

It really was!

[@DylanLTindall]

Very neat facility. That virtual hydrofit elevator is interesting.

[@DieselDucy]

It was cool. Would be neat to have something like that for the museum. Where I would put it i don’t know lol

[@DylanLTindall]

@@DieselDucy If I had a simulator at my house, it'll probably go in a large open space or replace a closet

[@747sooner]

@dieselducy Did you know there’s another one in Bristol Connecticut right near the headquarters? It’s actually the tallest Otis test tower in the USA.

[@DieselDucy]

I want to see it so bad!

[@AriR-c1n]

This is a great Otis facility

[@DieselDucy]

It was awesome

[@mjloveselevators]

Very cool! 😮

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks!

[@pafl_elevators]

That's so cool! I wonder if I will get a tour of the place one day! I wonder if they now have a Gen3 simulator

[@DieselDucy]

It was awesome

[@carselevators930]

I remember that! I wish I could visit test towers like this

[@DieselDucy]

Isn’t this facility located near I-95?

[@DylanLTindall]

​@@ΝΙΚΟΣΠΟΔΑΣ-δ4σHonestly, him isn't really harming. The problem is that some people that don't like his comments command him to stop when they aren't even in charge of Andrew's channel. it's just impolite. Also, there was never a rule that states you can't "state obvious." It's really better off to ignore them. If there was a legit problem with this user, Andrew would've blocked him a long time ago.
