Awesome Full Glass Hydraulic Elevator at Navy Pier in Chicago, IL.

Filmed on March 15, 2016: What a complete beauty of this elevator here!!!!! It's got an entrance door up on the top floor with a regular center opening doors inside of it. This was worth checking out! I did not film the other ones 'cause the rest have all crappy Schindler hydraulic with horrible RT buttons in which I get tired of seeing.

I used to watch this video when I was 9-10 years old. I wish we could go back to those days.

[@notshloakrblx]

i've seen this video before, then i lost it and forgot the title, but it just popped up and I clicked on it because I recognized that elevator and how lovely it is

[@sthgaming6451]

Same.

[@michaelpippen2256]

Thank you for showing us the west elevator at navy pier. We really liked the motor.

[@Flushometer_AirConditionerFan]

I bet dieselducy is gonna love this video

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

Us too!

[@DDLCRAILFAN92]

Agreed!

[@jessezhang8759]

me too I rode it, and I took a tour of it plus my hotel was Chicago Hyatt Regency.
I love elevators too

[@amiles2233]

The Motor Sounds Great!

[@alexleo172]

Chicago in Illinois.
Yet some Americans don't know where Chicago is.

Nice video :D
Greetings from Spain!

[@GenericLifts]

Now that's what I call an awesome lift

[@alfiewilliams2331]

I'm from the UK and them type of lifts (elevators) are quite common

[@blueguest222]

Really? I live in the uk, never seen it before except in a lift in Kingston upon Thames that has a sensor on the outside that will open the lifts doors if it is closing.

[@WarpRadio]

The reason the doors open slow on the upper landing is because the air inside the cab has to "balance" otherwise, your ears would pop harshly from the extreme pressure change... WELCOME TO CHICAGO!

[@ag6371]

Yeeee that's where I live!

[@EASsirenVids01]

I’ve rode this before, love it.

[@hb2702]

Same. I've rode it too. Also love it!

[@roxannemiller383]

It’s a cool elevator even if I have not rode it

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

Interesting how it has that outer automatic door there with the standard elevator setup behind it. I think the construction of the automatic door is separate to the elevator shaft, but then the door sensor is wired in to the elevator controller

[@elevatorschannel8537]

1:36 is where video starts 0-0

[@dizman0893]

Very nice and awesome elevator

[@Mina_Fox_90]

Nice elevator there. It certainly likes to park itself when not in use. An all-glass elevator or so it looks makes it more appealing to ride on.

[@nikospodas6201]

JIM THE PARKING GARAGE ELEVATORS ARE HIGHDRAULIC GLUSE AKA ALEX HAS FILMED THERE

[@Stephmain]

It’s really cool I watched it as a 8 year old and now I have the chance to ride it the outer door doesn’t work anymore

[@finnishelevators0397]

Wow! First I thought it was EcoDisc MonoSpace/EcoSpace because of the upper black bar close to the doors.

[@juoig7799]

The reason why there's an automatic door in front of the main lift doors is because a storm could damage the lift and cause problems, so they added the additional door to protect the lift.

[@Stephmain]

But if they removed the extra door that’s not the reason

[@AndreTheKangaroo_2726]

I never a glass elevator I have ever seen before.

[@user-pw6wq5nq2h]

I like glass elevators!

[@crystalwstoffel4083]

Same

[@johnelevatorfan]

I filmed these!!!

[@over.4262]

Wow very interesting door!

[@marquis_da_beast]

Awesome Motor

[@prestonfreeman4069]

I was there at the end of March and they removed the entrance door on the top floor.

[@iphonexsmax-mobilegaming4289]

Preston Freeman :(

[@mattmoreira210]

That door does not seem to be part of the elevator. It might be there to control access to the elevator, perhaps?

[@embenam7965]

Wow so cool I don't want to go in to that because of that levelling

[@ethanlielevators8146]

Unfortunately the entrance door has been removed

[@JimLiElevators]

I think I've heard about that before.

[@annsuchua]

i like the doors

[@NWRfreek]

I’ve never seen a door like that. That’s neat!

[@poisonndd]

in bandung indonesia theres hotel using very full glass

[@elevcarwashsirensandmore21]

They took that sliding door out.

[@aaronjacobs1803]

It has a door that I find in stores and the elevator parks at 1

[@maryannmangalinao1763]

Elevator looks so different and it’s trying to be like it’s slow at lovely at levelling just trying to get up in the entrance door I don’t know no from elevator on the inside

[@ellomate..]

i did not know elevator enthusiasts were a thing lol! cool.

[@CityLifeinAmerica]

A regular store automatic door on an elevator!???

[@EWPA14]

It has Bruiser on the inside. Looks like a fairly recent mod.

[@tusinkabir2607]

Awesome

[@rayfridley6649]

Yes, but it has no manufacture's nameplate.

[@davidng2336]

The big glass doors on the top floor seem to have now been disabled.

[@sgbuses]

The entrance door opens much faster than the elevator doors. Interestingly, Kone makes automatic entrance doors as well.

[@southernoregoncatmom6519]

That's really cool!!!!

Did that used to be something before an elevator due to the entrance door?

[@thefrenchelevatorchannel]

If this elevator is new, then it's not Kone. Kone stopped making hydraulic elevators in 2007, today they only install traction.

[@JimLiElevators]

Do you know what kind of elevator this is if it's not Kone?

[@thefrenchelevatorchannel]

***** Well... no :) This may be a local brand.

[@ElevatingEurope]

+ElevExplorings by JimLiElevators By the looks of the arrows on the outside, it may have been modded by Schindler.

Nikos Podas Because they have RT. Which is crap.

I've never seen an RT my entire life, I want to ride one.

And plus my favorite elevator fixtures are Schindler HT
