Getting Stuck For About 45 Minutes On Some ThyssenKrupp Traction Elevators In Pompano Beach FL

Ok so here’s the whole story. I was on 8 about to make my descend down to the 1st floor. Right after the door closes, the thing drops like 2 feet and completely stops. I try pushing buttons and the door open button but nothing works. So then I use the emergency phone and call a dispatcher. 45 minutes later, the good ole TK boys come to rescue me. Yes, while I wish I could’ve got out sooner or not get stuck at all, it could’ve been much worse. I am thankful for the dispatchers and ThyssenKrupp for getting me out fairly quick and safely.

[@PlanetEscalators]

Holy crap. I’m glad you’re safe that could’ve gone much worse.

_elevator shakes violently for a concerning amount of time_ "Okay?"

[@aybgreg6748]

Seems like a safety brake was triggered. That would've scared the shit out of me.

[@PFElevators]

Looks like the cables snapped. Thank god for that safety brake or else it could have ended up badly. It’s good that ur safe tho.

[@nelsonahlvik6650]

Cables don't just snap like that. They are VERY strong. I have no idea what happened here but the cables definetly didn't snap.

[@PFElevators]

@@nelsonahlvik6650 how come it was shaking than and the emergency brake was tripped?

[@nelsonahlvik6650]

@@PFElevators There are many different reasons a lift can shake like this so I can't tell you exactly what happened. Also what makes you think it was the emergency break that got engaged? The normal brake could stop the lift just fine.

[@PFElevators]

@@nelsonahlvik6650 what makes me think the emergency brake was engaged was because when that door closed. it went down so fast that it was shaking.

[@nelsonahlvik6650]

@@PFElevators Uploader said that it only went down about 2 feet. That's not far at all.

In the hospital where my grandfather is, has one of the two main Thyssencrap lifts (the left one) vibrating *a lot* during the journey, and it breaks down continuously (60% of the times, the lift is not in service, leaving the right lift overcrowded, and having to wait five journeys sometimes to get on (they fit 11 people)).

HOW did you not get SO SCARED you passed out? full credit to you man. I FULLY thought you were gonna use some kind of sailor language.

[@blueauraretriever]

Probably a cable snapped. Brand new lift should not be doing this

[@aybgreg6748]

Maybe that caused the shaking

[@nelsonahlvik6650]

Lift cables don't just snap!!! They are made to a very high standard!!!

[@ilektrokioydio]

It might have been a safety brake that was accidentally triggered, and the traction from the brakes caused that shaking.

[@dpayne8611]

@@ilektrokioydiona brakes is instant, def some electric failure that triggered the break

[@choosake]

0:38 the elevator might fall 2 feet but still idk why is shaking like that

[@holed18]

Russian elevators Russian elevators don't get stuck like American one s, Russian elevators just stop without shaking. And in all Russian elevators, even in the old ones, there is a button to call the operator.

[@holed18]

And of course you won't find American-style elevators in Russia, Otis, kone and others are very different from those I find on American KZbin

[@c.mvrdaaa]

I actually rode an elevator recently and it basically did the same thing, shook itself down, and faulted out. It was also an MRL, and I personally believe the Permanent magnet Gearless motor wasn’t aligned properly. If the magnets in the motor don’t properly line up she it’s time to move, the elevator is gonna move very violently, and eventually shut itself down. After a reset the elevator worked again.

[@BestSchindler]

0:38 What?

[@LucyFlynnBTShow]

I don’t take the elevator at school that much and here is why. 1. It’s such a death trap. A few times, one of my students got stuck in the elevator and the security guard was there along with the engineer I believed they waited about 5 to 10 minutes or so. And the same thing happened (A different group of friends) but thankfully I wasn’t in there. 2. It’s old. It’s been there for a long time near my locker and the a hallway classrooms and it can malfunction depending it’s mood. 3. The red is history! Since I’m a senior at my school, I’ll remember this elevator history. I even saw the shaft once! It can go out of order sometimes but I don’t care about that I always get butterflies in my stomach when the elevator is not moving glad you were ok and the operator is really nice!

Glad you got out safely, glad you got that on camera that was sketchy the way the elevator acted when it got stuck. I'm wondering if it was the governor that got tripped, because that was quite the jolt so I wonder if the governor tripped the elevators emergency brake since these are traction.

I think the lift brakes was failed.

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

what I was thinking was probably the overspeed governer thought it went too fast and safety breaked the elevator but the elevator failed to reset the overspeed governer which is why you got stuck and elevator shutdown

[@STUAA2024]

Elevator seizure

[@bgelevators6697]

OMG!!!! I think the reason why you got stuck is because the elevator started shaking very hard and caused the elevator to stall.

[@aybgreg6748]

But what made it shake?

[@bgelevators6697]

@@aybgreg6748 It was probably either the elevator motor or the guide rails.

[@PFElevators]

@@bgelevators6697 I think I know what happened. One of the cables snapped and the safety brake triggered, making it violently shake. Stalling the elevator.

Happened to me on an elevator I was working on, one of the tape reader magnet got moved. Upon reading it, the controller said open the door. But lost the signal instantly as it was moving so with the doors being open away from a door zone the rope gripper fell then reopened once the car door where closed. Happened twice. The third time it happened I was out of the box and trying to replicate it from the controller. Easy fix. So yeah the rope gripper would make the cab shake. But that shook a lot so idk. Might just be a cheap cab with no structural integrity

The way it shook before you got stuck, like holy crap! I almost wonder if the VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) for the motor screwed up, I don't know, so many possibilities, but I am just glad they got you out.
