NOT ENOUGH OIL! A Compilation Of Elevators Low On Oil!

[@tophound701]

It's really bad to keep riding when they're low on oil. The pumps were designed to transfer liquid, not air. It can cause irreparable damage if it runs like that too long... and that would most likely result in a premature modernization. Which is not only sucky for people who like older elevators, but it costs a lot of money, too!

[@TheTheo58]

I saw a video on You Tube (sadly it's been taken down) of an Otis Gear-less traction DC machine from the old days which failed due to overheating in the machine room. Had to be taken apart, amateur had to be completely rewound, induction coils replaced as well. I I believe it took some six or more weeks.

[@TXMNElevators]

Well it's okay to ride it once, or even twice, but you don't want to do it a lot, I agree. It may not cause a complete mod though, it probably will only involve a pump replacement, if anything.

[@LordVoltRod2c]

Those pumps are very expensive to replace. The best solution is for the oil to be analyzed for 1.viscosity 2.water 3.Particle Count 4.Acidity 5.Varnish or Sludge(membrane patch colorimetry test) Varnish or sludge causes control valve issues leading to elevator leveling problems. Pure clean oil is the best solution to extend the life of the hydraulic elevator. Particles in the oil lead to wear down of operational parts.

[@LordVoltRod2c]

Also can lead to over heating of the pump meaning emergency cut off of electricity to pump to prevent fire. Now you get to be "stuck in the elevator".

Aggreed at my hotel once i was hopping in the lift then i pressed “2” doors close KABAM up up up now we are at floor 2 KABAM

[@themaddasher7783]

4:52 Amazing C-sharp (C#) pitched motor!

[@starlingbaez6681]

When got a C G harmony going on here

[@notsniped]

5:55: Me who thought the fire alarm went off:

[@fwnevaeh1674]

5:32 RAWR

[@adastrapgh]

Also, that motor at 4:54 sounds amazing! Where was this?

[@GianlucaBerger]

That’s what I was about to say

[@Photoelectric_Elevators]

It was in an undisclosed location.

[@ryryanalbayati4371]

Yo it’s cool

[@cooperschwartz318]

It’s at an undisclosed location, but it is an Altas Swing Door Lift

[@TheWorldOfJames_OLD]

4:32: Sounds like howling winds.

[@cooperdeignan6570]

5:22 If I'm not mistaken, Isn't this one in another video where that one had a GROWLL text next to it from you or another KZbinr?

[@khloecarver1246]

Yup

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Nice Compilation Video My Friend And Have A Rest Of Your Day And Out

[@themaddasher7783]

The motors were amazing despite them being low on oil! Really nice compilation!

[@BrokebackBob]

Do you always report this dangerous condition? Has it caused you to be stuck? Why doesn't it take itself out of service?

[@Jowevator3219]

BobEckert56 I only report the really bad ones

[@BrokebackBob]

Jowevator 3219 Good for you! 😁

[@LordVoltRod2c]

You should report the others too. It is cheaper to catch the problem as soon as possible.

[@aprilkolwey4779]

It's not particularly dangerous to the riders, even if it's hard on the pump - most controllers since at least the 1970s or so are equipped with a timer that will shut the elevator down if it spends too long trying to move and never gets to its destination. For traction elevators, they will usually just stop immediately and shut down, but hydraulic elevators will (since low oil is likely the problem) return to the lowest floor, cycle the doors, and shut down. Note that the elevators in this video didn't trip this, since they were only sucking air for a little bit and it didn't slow the elevator down enough for this timer to expire. The exact name for this varies between manufacturers - Kone controllers will report "Drive time supervision elapsed (fault 00 01)", MCE will give some variant of "motor limit timer fault", and I'm sure everyone else has their own name for it.

0:45 lost!

[@dragonie]

When an elevator has low oil sounds like it’s going to fall :P

[@TheTheo58]

Eight years ago I lived in an apartment building 4 floors hydraulic elevator I remember one Sunday the cab began to shutter trying to reach the 4th floor. I called the Emergency # reported it, this was unsafe for everyone in the building. The site manager called me back, said I suspected the power unit or valve was malfunctioning , and I would make up "out of service" signs, posted them on each landing. Elevator was out of service for 2-3 days, turned out the pump impeller had to be replaced.

[@ElevatorsOfSouthernNC]

1:10 when Roblox elevators are low on oil

[@Houtarou_Hyouka_Unforgiven]

Lol some hydraulic elevator in roblox are pretty loud

[@CAelevators.]

I think my favorite was the downtown plaza! That’s thing was almost always low on oil.

[@iamacomment3999]

4:21 should the elevator sound like that or what is this sound ?

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Most Of The Elevators In This Video Is Almost Scare Me To Death & Getting A Heart Attack

[@themaddasher7783]

1:42 is from your elevator video + audio compilation of the motors. Where is the video of this elevator? Edit: Also, incredible F-pitched motor!

[@Jowevator3219]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/m16mfHaDZqmrldE

[@themaddasher7783]

Jowevator 3219 Thank you! It's sad that this elevator is not around anymore with its incredible F-pitched motor.

[@kdmq]

Hearing a pump cavitating is like watching a fish drowning, it will die fast with no liquid.

[@jacksonslaterelevatorraila6444]

When I was with Elyse and Trent Sargent on a US Circle button on 2/7/18 it starts up a little rough sounding than bang jolts with us in it quickly only leaving us in laughter great video as always oh about earlier I'm really sorry I won't let that happen again sir.

[@hunterduncan362]

Were Is Location on that Schindler Mt at 5:22? EdIt: Never mind its Crate and Barrel

[@dylansworld8904]

Very interesting

[@TakoElevators]

1:42 rip Monty elevator. We will miss you!

[@thxapproved]

Nice compilation

[@khmam]

0:52 Death trap.

[@lsenghkawn]

3:58 Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Low pitch motors. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

[@angkhanhvu1324]

And some elevator when low on oil, the landing is very dangerous after finish the move and open the door !

[@angkhanhvu1324]

Some elevator when the oil is low , it’s have a pre-door , such as your first low on elevator oil video .

[@ao9442]

cool video :o

[@TheMatsushitaMan]

Where's the elevator at 3:58?

[@bryanschlippjr4894]

It's the bridge elevator near the flamingo hotel in Law Vegas Nevada.

[@bryanschlippjr4894]

Las

[@transitsandelevators808]

Where is this Dover elevator at @ 0:37

[@TheWorldOfJames_OLD]

m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWnanWqNgKlrbrM

[@HuongPham-ps6km]

And it cause the pre-door , too

[@angkhanhvu1324]

Or if the high - rise elevator low on oil, it’s the most dangerous problem !

[@notsniped]

High rise buildings use traction elevators, they dont elevate using oil (unless you mean hydraulics with long shafts)

[@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada]

That Dover impulse was severely low on oil with it jerking like that

[@adastrapgh]

Some of these sounds are pretty unnerving to me.

[@whentheimpostorissus5243]

1:53 face reveal

[@bryanschlippjr4894]

It's actually a reflection

[@relevanteaglealarms109]

That was someone not jow

[@randomthings3551]

5:33 ROAR

[@elevatordailies]

Low on oil elevator is really a sketchy amusement park ride.

[@awesgaming9556]

It will stop the elevator and EMERGENCY safety break if the elevator running

[@whentheimpostorissus5243]

5:05 WTF

[@liambengif7663]

0:50 Sounds like my freind’s home elevator

[@razvanschuster5058]

Then he should probably have something check the oil in it 🫣

[@TXMNElevators]

Well I guess you're gonna like the video I'm uploading tomorrow...

[@x5mdrive]

flamingo was smoooooooooth

[@lilystitches2962]

Loud elevators

[@charlotteconway1021]

I didn’t know elevators ran on oil I thought there were just electric ⚡️ ones thanks for showing me great video 🐸

[@nelsonahlvik6650]

Only hydraulic lifts use oil. The rest only use electricity (traction).

[@LanotaRitmo]

Tractions use steel roping.

[@misaksotous21]

OMG

[@pomerman]

あなたが好きでなければならないことを翻訳した場合（強制的ではありません）

[@luisito2950]

The elevator low oil the iphone no battery concidence lol

[@mikedonato880]

If ran out of oil it time destroy
