Very nice elevator. I think it’s a 2000VF since it sounds like traction with VF. New subscriber👍

[@northernirishlifts]

I think it is yea not sure why it is branded as 2000 H but anyway. Thanks

[@Morgansliftadventures]

Could be a modded Europa, which is 0% likely, idk, not all hydraulics are bottom drived though :)

[@northernirishlifts]

I don’t think so. Yeah I’ve seen top drive Oaklands before

[@LGCT]

Very Nice Lift. It could be High Hydraulic?

[@northernirishlifts]

I don’t think it is hydraulic it sounds like a traction motor (listen going down from 4)

[@kalifts]

Very interesting. That definitely sounds traction! I wonder if it has had a behind the scenes mod at some stage but left the original cab which would be unusual but not impossible.

[@northernirishlifts]

Yeah it has that 2000 H cab. Prehaps they thought a hydraulic was too tall and converted it into a traction? It’s hard to know, I guess we’ll never know

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

interesting, maybe its worth having a look around for the motor room door/hatch if you revisit and listening from there, but maybe this lift is more mysterious than once thought

[@northernirishlifts]

Yeah then you’d be able to tell for certain. I’ve been watching videos of this lift for years and when I visited i was shocked to hear what sounded like a traction motor

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

@@northernirishlifts i'll assume its nathanandrews100 you've been watching as it's his i've been watching too, i think his handycam microphone has slowly gotten worse over time like mine did and thats why we dont hear it in his videos like we can in yours here

[@northernirishlifts]

@@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL yeah that’s true. He’s had that camera for I think 7 to 8 years so it’s definitely aged. I used the same camera for a bit myself, it done the job but I felt filming on the phone was more discreet and it had better quality

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

@@northernirishlifts yeahh the handycams aren't the more advanced option anymore imo, the 4K ones only give you 4K at 25fps which given some versions of the model are relatively new you would expect better. Plus the discreetness of using a phone is a huge advantage

[@northernirishlifts]

@@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL yes that’s true. It seems that most people I know are opting for phones to film lifts. Hardly anyone I know apart from Nathan who uses a camera.

[@LiftManAmer]

is that a traction motor i heard?

[@northernirishlifts]

Yes I think it is traction

[@EpicLifts-nj8vt]

It’s a orona

[@ElTipoEspañol]

It isn't hydraulic. Why would this be 2000 H if it isn't hydraulic?

[@callumsliftadventures2402]

My thoughts exactly lol

[@giuseppegamer4090]

Is it but They changed The screen cause The Old one someone broke it

[@northernirishlifts]

The old indicator didn’t break it was just really hard to see.
