4 VERY EPIC MOTORED modded Dover Oildraulic elevators at the 1800-1830 building - RHC in Reston VA

(📹 6/6/2024) These are some Dover elevators that have received a generic mod at the 1800-1830 building (or Hospital Center Medical Plaza) at the Reston Hospital Center in Reston VA. These have an interesting layout because there are two banks of two elevators on each side of the building entry. Whatever power units these are running on, they are frigging insane. They are beasts and you can hear them roar on all four floors of this building. They have crazy loud and epic sounding motors. Sorry for my excessive spamming of the door close button, but I really did not want to get any patients in this, because you know, HIPAA reasons.
