Schindler 400A Traction Elevators @ Building C - Missouri Baptist Hospital

(12-23-17) These are nice elevators. The two elevators that go down to G2 used to be Otis with series one. The third elevator was added on when the elevators were modernized.

That traction motor is epic.

[@jonathancreveling5658]

Seeing the 'c' elevators kind of makes you want to play in the sea.

[@AlexanderPerez-hv4nu]

The reason why the elevator doesn’t go down to G2 is because the ramp on G2 is in the way

[@cruelcat870]

Did low pitched 400a elevators exist?

[@tkefan29]

Beautiful.

[@blueauraretriever]

amazing.👍

[@jamesmccrackyn3547]

IT'S A TRACTION ELEVATOR!

[@mickeyandminnieproductions6574]

Yep

[@jamesmccrackyn3547]

LOTST2020 The Mario and Angry Birds Fan IS THIS ELEVATOR NICE?

[@jamesmccrackyn4506]

UH HUH

[@Dana_Danarosana]

Interesting... The 1st one you rode has a door operator that sounds like a 70's "rubber band" Westy door operator.

[@shmulstvgone3169]

That would make sense, as Schindler bought Westinghouse.

[@Dana_Danarosana]

The fact that Schindler (later) bought Westinghouse wouldn't have anything to do with an older Schindler door operator (from before Schindler purchased Westinghouse) sounding like a Westinghouse door operator...

[@icecolespears]

Is it a parking garage?

[@adamb6271]

What’s on 4 and why was it open?

[@stlelevators]

I really don't know. Last time I was here 4 was locked. I'm guessing it is some sort of service area.

[@ElevatorDude]

Do you know when these were installed and replaced?

[@IllinoisElevators]

I think 2012.

[@OPG2711]

Wasn't this the building with the OTIS Series 1 modernized by Schindler with MAD BS?

[@stlelevators]

Yes. These are the C elevators and that one is the C2 elevator.

[@OPG2711]

@STLElevators I will say, I like this modernization much better than C2.

[@stlelevators]

These were modded before c2

[@jamesmccrackyn3547]

OPG1561 I THOUGHT SO!

[@SouthernStarElevator058]

The Door is kind of squealed

[@icecolespears]

I think the 4th floor is the PentHouse

[@stlelevators]

It’s a service floor I think.

[@icecolespears]

@@stlelevators I just ridden in those today

[@jamesmccrackyn3547]

IT'S A 330A TRACTION, I MEAN 400A

[@nooknokiablackberrykindlef3006]

Colorful?

[@stlelevators]

What’s colorful about it?

[@inactivechannel7029]

The fan screams Kaleidoscope, lol

[@shmulstvgone3169]

TXpress.

[@EWPA14]

No because these were complete replacements.

[@ElevatorDude]

That’s right! The old elevators were completely ripped out of the shafts, and they installed Schindler HT 400As in the original shafts.

[@elevatingohio975]

Elevating Western PA: And does TXpress mod 400A and 500A or just 400A?

[@ElevatorDude]

I’m not sure.
