First off, I’d like to apologise for the lack of uploads, due to a new and hectic life schedule in place. Unfortunately, I fear that this tight schedule will be here to stay for quite some time as at the end of the day, the main priority of my time as of now is allocated to my studies. The senior years in polytechnic gets extremely exhausting, dreadful, and burnt out! I will try my best to film contents whenever I have the time for it, though please expect uploads to be spaced out over a period. Thank you for your support & patience! 😁
Secondly, though this is embarrassingly late, Transportation ONLY! Would like to wish all Muslims, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri! 🌙✨
This is the 2nd Grantral Mall in Singapore after the 1st one in Clementi, a recurring theme I’ve observed with both malls are that the’yre designed in a long & narrow shape, use cheap Chinese generic brands for their lifts & escalators, and feature 2 well known Chinese brands of retail and Food & Beverage such as Scarlett supermarket and MIXUE Ice Cream and Tea(nice ice cream but good luck getting that song out of your head 😩). The escalators here are nameless while the lifts are branded as AutoPark, which I’m guessing are the same? I’m uncertain and since these escalators look like Schindler, so I’m calling it knock off Schindler!

Lift Hub installed this and modded the lifts, AutoPark only got the maintenance contract quite recently.
The lifts were originally OTIS, modded by VM presumably a few years before enbloc. This mall was once Citimac Industrial Complex.

Okay thanks for the info, I had a classmate who worked on the installation and commissioning of the lifts here, but I forgot the name of the company he used to work at, and now I remember it.

@@PL1Lifts from the Clementi one or this? This wasn’t filmed that long ago and Mixue was still open.
