Creaky Symmetry Elevation roped hydraulic LULA elevator at Patagonia in Pittsburgh PA
(📹 6/14/2024) Here is a Symmetry LULA elevator at the Patagonia store along the shopping district of Walnut St in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh PA. Due to the kinda cheaper cantilever construction of these, it makes lots of creaking sounds. The door operator is nice and smooth on this, but I'm not sure who manufactures the door equipment for Symmetry Elevation LULAs. This also has SEES fixtures like every Symmetry LULA out there. It's also slow like every other LULA since they are restricted to 30 fpm.

Slow but awesome scenic modded Otis express elevator at the Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto ON

(📹 7/3/2024) Here is the Don Alfonso express elevator at the Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto ON. This is on a dedicated controller and is the only scenic elevator in the hotel. It's very slow compared to the main passenger elevators, but it's intentional so people can see an epic view of some high rise apartments and more. Although nothing will beat the Four Seasons Philadelphia elevators. I a...

    And literally like half of the elevators here are broken due to water damage. I think 4 cars including the O Car are currently broken. There was a little bit where the O Car was open on the 36th floor & the ceiling had mold/water damage & the COP swing-return was open. These were actually supposed to get TK TWIN, the 1st in the U.S. Marshall was approved to install them in 2006, but the university held off, & by 2014 when they got the funding to do a mod. to these, Otis had bought Marshall. Would've been so much better if these actually had TWIN.
