Slow Otis Traction Service/Freight Elevator @ Park Tower - Chicago, IL

[@jonathancreveling8699]

That's in surprisingly remarkable shape for it being a service elevator

[@stlelevators]

It really is. This is the one that is used for moving too.

[@ΝικοςΠοδας-τ7ξ]

@@stlelevators epic there is also a slow otis elevator at the post office in stl

[@elevatorsoflakecountyTV]

Not to be confused with the other Park Tower in Chicago, which always has cookies in the lobby that I definitely did not eat 12 of one time.

[@ELEVrjATOR]

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

I dare you to press all the floors and piss off the staff 🤣🤣

[@funnygamesworld3464]

No

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

[@BostonElevatorDude]

A Compass would do well here.

[@susquehannavalleyelevators]

This is a nice elevator

[@blueauraretriever]

It's a little slow but not bad at all

[@matthewlindstrom8728]

Jason will you have a meetup with nw Indiana elevators the one who is always in a wheelchair

[@stlelevators]

I already did

[@matthewlindstrom8728]

Does the fright elevator have a fright door

[@stlelevators]

no

[@over.4262]

Holy god those buttons..

[@stlelevators]

A wall of buttons!

[@Dana_Danarosana]

I delivered pizzas many years ago and we had to use service elevators. That thing would've been irritating during the days when Domino's guaranteed 30 minute delivery or it was free!!

[@elevatorsoflakecountyTV]

Think on the bright side: At least you wouldn't have gone hungry if you had gotten stuck!

[@stlelevators]

Apparently a windy day can knock these things out of service

[@elevatorsoflakecountyTV]

@@stlelevators Odd...

[@tkefan29]

@@stlelevators haha

[@Dana_Danarosana]

@@elevatorsoflakecountyTV Ha ha... As much as I like pizza, I can honestly say that I never said "Oh yeah... PIZZA!!" during my delivery days. When your car, clothes, hair, etc. smell like pizza 24/7, it looses its appeal. :-)

[@TXMNElevators]

Even though that's a freight, that's waaaaay too slow...…...

[@tkefan29]

slow high rise elevator: oof

[@zierewolfo46]

Why make the freight slower than the service elevator? I’d be more logical to just use the service elevator.

[@krisc5382]

They're geared lower for the excessive weight they are designed to haul.

[@iloveclocks3988]

That thing only goes 3 mph

[@SixSilverStones]

That is a LOT of buttons

[@stlelevators]

Yeah!

[@seherersoy86]

Slow this is otis elevator 6

[@Jamestube8439]

Way too slow, with that many floors, it should go much faster.

[@stlelevators]

The other car connected on the same controller is much faster!

[@Jamestube8439]

@@stlelevators Well, that's kind of weird, do you have any ideas why it's slower?

[@stlelevators]

My only guess is it’s geared for more power but the capacity is the same.

[@Jamestube8439]

@@stlelevators Ok, thanks for replying, I appreciate the feedback.

[@ThePrasad_Diamond]

@@Jamestube8439 That answer is actually not accurate, considering it's a freight elevator which stops on every single floor of the building, going faster can be a bit dangerous, especially when traveling with very heavy stuff and such faster speeds can make the said freight elevators difficult to withstand tougher working conditions.
