Whoops, thanks for pointing that out Fixed

Damn

Sadly nope, I thought Lift 8 no longer existed since I couldn't find it...

@@Aldericky ah ok. Besides the 3 lifts in the North Grand stand which are from 1980/1981, the installation year of the others in the main wing are unknown. They’re definitely additional installs throughout the many refurbishments and expansions of the originally liftless building from the 1930s. Some seems to be from the 60s/70s with V key and the Otis decal on the door tracks, others seem to be newer and using drop key for the doors with no otis decal on the door tracks.

@@Aldericky ZHD managed to find footage on the National Archives of Singapore which showed a lot of footage of this place back in 1999 when Turf Club was moving out and just before the place was converted to Turf City and the lifts were modernised by Kone. Even then all the lifts that he managed to film in the video (there was a lift E which used V key) were using spec 60 buttons. This makes me suspect otis modernised or if not refurbished the earlier installs from the 60s/70s as those using V key are definitely aren’t from the 80s. By then all would’ve used drop key. Also I wonder if that lift E could have been the missing lift 8 you and ZHD weren’t able to find. The first floor lobby surroundings doesn’t look like those lift 1-7 and 9 are using

@@elevatorfilmersg I see If so then Lift 8 (if it still exists) is probably located in an area currently inaccessible to the public; I couldn't find any trace of it when I visited

@@Aldericky it looked like it was at the side of the building and you only had to go through a door to access it though, so unless if they removed the lift it doesn’t seem too hard to find. I’ll try to go there this month

I was expecting Everbright like Shaw Centre/House.

Really? Interesting

@@Aldericky yes the clubhouse elevator, moreover it has grey buttons too like this one (the apartment elevators have white buttons tho).

Good question - idk tbh At the time of recording, a reservation/appointment was required to enter the premises due to Covid restrictions, but I haven't checked to see if they have lifted the reservation requirement now that Covid restrictions are no more If they have, I'll post an update (along with the location)

The Malaysia Garment building (should be searchable on Maps)

9G modded/refurbished this before apparently

@@PL1Lifts nvm just realised. But at least 9G kept the controller:( Now it's all gone

Yep, I noted this in the video desc ("small handful of lifts do use the British floor numbering system") - those lifts label it as floor G This is the only lift in Singapore (that I've come across) that labels it as floor 0 though

@@Aldericky some KONE M-Series elevators in Hong Kong have a floor 0 too tho as their indicators only have 7 segments, plus Bakmi GM Melawai in Jakarta has an OTIS SPEC 50 with a floor 0 as well.

The brand is indeed "TKE" but the company is called "TK Elevator", which installs lifts under their "TKE" brand

It literally does though... Our door close buttons almost always work lol

I don't think its possible to make the lift shaft bigger due to the building's space constraints; its either a tiny lift or no lift at all (even if there's a bigger Hitachi lift at the other end)

Why would that be a bad thing? It'd be better for the people who have to use it if it did.

@@PL1Lifts this elevator gained “fame” for its 4 persons capacity

@@LiftandTrainDude2003 Yeah, well from a practical standpoint it is very much impractical. Enthus may find it 'cool' but anyone who actually uses it regularly would likely not enjoy it.

Hitachi. I rode it before many years back I think.

Interesting, had no idea the cargo lift indicators were rare... No security was present at the time of filming However, the front entrance via Little Rd is normally locked (a sign there says its closed between 10 am and 4 pm - no idea if its open outside of these times) Instead, use the back entrance via Pereira Rd to enter (the cargo lifts face this road on the 1st floor - visible on Street View)

@@Aldericky can share date and time u went?

@@TIB1106EProductions Date of recording is in the description It was taken in the early afternoon, before 4 pm

@@Aldericky thank goodness. Shld be damn safe to go in then. Will do so ASAP

funnily enough i went here 2 years ago, thought of saving the passenger lift for later and went to check the cargo lifts - the security called me out! so annoying
