Saudi Arabia Hotel explore - UNLOCKED OLD LIFT MOTOR ROOM (Part 1of2)

[@idl3k_elev]

This, along with the motor room video, remains my favorite lift videos from your channel! I watched both videos a couple of times and I really enjoyed them. Love that creepy staircase lol!

[@mrmattandmrchay]

I have to agree with you there! As soon as I found that motor room open, it was like THIS IS GOING TO BE EPIC!!

[@RODALCO2007]

Cool that lift display still had the eastern Arabian numerals. Love that vintage stuff with the moving lift doors.

[@thefrenchelevatorchannel]

Just AWESOME ! They even made custom indicators for Arabic numbers, and from right to left !!!

[@HeritageElevators]

I think it works individually from what i see at 3:15 Buttons did not light up as a set and both had to be pressed

[@mrmattandmrchay]

no, actually I like places like this - much more interesting to explore. Prefer old fashioned hotels with old equipment than plush new hotels with glass everywhere. But ONLY if the hotel has lifts lol

[@HeritageElevators]

All three elevators are original from the late 70s. Including the passenger ones with automatic doors

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Not so many of these in the UK now due to "health and safety" laws over here which are sometimes completely over the top.

[@PreciousAlpschindler]

Brand new Generic elevator is health and safety hazard

[@elevatorlover28]

They are nice lifts :D

[@TheTigero]

2:15 I thought my phone was dying

[@mrmattandmrchay]

+Kevin Klika Oh you mean the bit where I removed the enhanced lighting level effect? ;)

[@TheTigero]

Haha yeah, that's what my phone does when it hits 15% battery

[@Subway2400]

Hi ! :) Great video ! It seems that the service elevator has been updated. At 03:13 we can see that its engine is nearly brand new, it looks like a W140N. We have this very one in our apartments building. Last year they changed every bit of our lift ( excepted the car ), but I managed to salvage the ( heavy ) relay board ( nearly the same as the one seen at 03:07, with less relays however ). It was a one-speed lift, and it scared every people who didn't take it before because they always thought we were stuck when it stopped ahah. Oh, and if the lift was busy ( if someone already called it or was inside ), you had to wait for it to complete its task before using it.

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Cool, sounds like really basic controller - one destination at a time. About your comment on the service lift, I always thought this motor was the oldest one, but I think you're right... take a look at my new video: Schindler D-Series with motor room ...and this is one of the motors that you are talking about

[@vytahardanda1582]

Awesome elevator man! ;-)

[@mrmattandmrchay]

+Vytahar Danda Thanks :)

2:57 I NEVER EXPECTED THIS

[@andreaeverywhere7693]

3:13 wow ive been saw air conditioner inside generator room... i wondering for what ac inside generator room ?

[@Rafa2241]

Wow, do you know it this elevator is still here?

[@CycuPL1]

This service lift looks like polish elevators made by "Zremb", type "osiedlówka". Good video :D.

[@Engineer9736]

The way they overdid the don't-care-about-safety is like a comedy. Open fans in the ceiling, no doors inside the car, loose banisters, unlocked motor room.. LOL :) But they still had money for marble and mirrors everywhere! :D

[@mrmattandmrchay]

+Richard van Pukkem hahahaha VERY TRUE!!! I'd love to go back to SA, we had a project out there but that was ages ago now.

[@josef596]

That’s Saudi for you.

[@LDTV22OfficialChannel]

It seems like the call buttons have the 1960s Schindler logo on them.

[@DieselDucy]

What a dumpy hotel :(

[@mrmattandmrchay]

+DieselDucy I loved it though. There is a bit of a story here - I was involved in a project in Saudi that lasted for a couple of months, over several visits. The first and second visit we stayed in a different hotel (this one... kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWbdmIaVfchnqa8), but on the third visit this previous hotel was fully booked. The company in Saudi that we were working with said that "unfortunately we cannot book the 5 star hotel this time, would it possibly be ok if we book a 4 star instead?"... Well, I don't know about you but I think older buildings have more character and older hotels can sometimes have older lifts. So there was absolutely no doubt about it, "OF COURSE" I replied!! Only one thing though, the mattress wasn't all that nice, but filming these lifts definitely made up for it!!! Thanks for the comment and take care.

[@josef596]

mrmattandmrchay - 4 star hotel? You’re not serious 😂

[@JohnSmith-em2fe]

DieselDucy I know

[@JohnSmith-em2fe]

DieselDucy I love your channel!

[@liftsadventurevideosinfran7966]

The innerdoorless is an old RCS ( Roux Combaluzier Schindler ) , does the other lift are originals too ?

[@mrmattandmrchay]

The service lift is original and the passenger lifts must have been fitted at the same time. So the answer is probably no, they've been modernised in the 90s (still nice though!)

[@Noodleude]

You don't see many inner-door-less elevators nowadays. Nice!

[@johnelevator777]

In the Middle East you do. :)

[@Noodleude]

John Elevator Why doesn't America get any? I feel left out. :(

[@JoeCrofturl5000]

and the same fixtures as the old bed lift in Guy's Hospital, London (I haven't been there but I have seen videos of it on KZbin.

[@louisworld6008]

Does the building still exist if so Are the elevators still there and what has changed?

[@gabrielcoyle3067]

Do they still exist?

[@PostTower]

it the lift without inner doors part of the set? I really like the lift without inner doors.

[@DB-47]

Uplifting PostTower Then you would like old Czech Transporta TOV 250 elevators, in hotel Olšanka there is still one piece working without inner door

[@mitsubishi_002_hk]

R-Series?

[@Hugo1234567890hello]

What is the purpose of the fan? Smoking in the elevator? I´ve only see them in old elevators.

[@karleriksmithson]

Cool :)

[@elevatorsasansorler]

good

[@mrmattandmrchay]

thanks

[@PostTower]

ah yes I've seen that, thanks

[@xjjam9607]

What is your simulator called

[@mrmattandmrchay]

You mean liftsim?

[@xjjam9607]

yeh

[@shadowguidr7042]

+mrmattandmrchay Could have called it something cheesy like 'Simuvator'.

[@ceveke]

Platt Schindler / R-Series fixtures

[@funcik1]

I just realised that their indicator (on manual door lift) goes from left to right.

[@ag6371]

*Right to left when up

[@funcik1]

@@ag6371 thanks for letting me know after 9 years from post 😂

[@Bombiedude.]

That is such a goofy setup both of them are on the same controller but one is a standard automactic and the other one has swing doors on it

[@playeditz0]

New is elevator not here floor

[@JoeCrofturl5000]

Then Schindler had the 1970's indicator replaced in the 80s

[@ag6371]

1970s as it uses R-series buttons instead of round buttons from the 1960s

[@ELPaso1990TX]

The lift with no doors must be dangerous if you get your clothing caught between shaft and car.

[@PneumatinisPlaktukas15]

It would stop automatically.

[@valdenirsantos2587]

Ainda é cc11 modelo

[@mrjumaatsamian]

Wt the fan was just simpily an toilet fan

[@ChrisNicholas1]

And old hotel

[@Yanndallet]

parmi ces 3 ascenseurs:je préfère ceux de gauche et du milieu que celui de droite,car je n'aime pas les ascenseurs sans porte de cabine!

[@jamesgillingham1875]

You must've been scared staying in this place!

[@seanluo8369]

I like how they used the Arabic numerals "٩٨٧٦٥٤٣٢١"

[@mrjumaatsamian]

I understand the numbers in arabic

[@erikazaraandannabelleyesch7284]

The hotel it's so fucking disgusting

[@andreas7136]

Are women allowed to use an elevator there alone?

[@valdenirsantos2587]

É schindler não tem porta de cabine

[@ChrisNicholas1]

Old elevator

[@caahetii]

este equipamento nã0 esta na carteira schindler

[@MegamanX4ThArmor]

i like the ding dong and the drrrrr disch

[@liftsadventurevideosinfran7966]

this is very sad , this is a very nice old elevator but they think destruct elevator is funny !

[@mrmattandmrchay]

+Romain Duval This was a REALLY COOL hotel for elevators (not the best hotel, but for elevators - absolutely spot on!)

[@liangtan6348]

[@MirMahmud2003]

Literally the worst elevators actually exist in middle eastern and post-soviet countries. I saw the same kind of elevators in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Lebanon and Egypt as well.
