- Filmed on December 18, 2016: I am in close contact with the folks here at Fort Bend Community Church, so this guy right here invited me a tour into the elevator machine room in Building 3, with an AWESOME view of the submersible pump unit in action! Huge thanks to the folks there for the machine room tour, and this video is for DieselDucy. :D Hope you all enjoyed it!
DISCLAIMER: NEVER ENTER an elevator machine room without permission! Even though with permission, DO NOT touch or get near any moving things as those can severely hurt you.

The smaller power switch is probably for the car gear and the big one for the main equipment. I think the blue box is for the emergency backup battery when the elevator goes into emergency power mode👍
I was just in an Otis Series 1 Machine Room, there are typically 2 main power supplies, 1 for the lights and the fan in the elevator, 1 for running the elevator, and there's normally an emergency power box too.
@@Jamestube8439 I have never saw one of those backup power systems actually work. Maybe for the acceptance inspection, but a year later....nope! 40 years in the trade, now retired.
When I had a machine room tour at my college I was able to have a full in-depth tour of a submersible pump unit of an Otis series 4 hydraulic elevator with a facility manager and it was October 4 2019
Jim. Fascinating! Thanks for sharing. Great to have a guided tour of a machine room. Merry Christmas! Happy new year!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
AMAZING VIDEO!!!!!!!!
There has to be the best soft start motor starter I've ever seen
The pump itself is actually farther down in the tank. This is probably a 30hp pump. The only problem with these submersible systems is that they actually require more power due to the lower operating pressure of 300-400psi. I really wish they would start making commercial hydraulic elevators again with high-pressure systems since they are more economical to operate.
Here is a cutaway of a similar pump unit:

they are 40hp. About 12" in diameter and about 16 " long.
Great sound!
Awesome! Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you too! :)
1:13 here's some garage door safety tips
As a disclaimer NEVER EVER play with the garage door
Garage door are not toys
If you get near the garage door when the garage door closes you could get hurt from it and specially when the garage door falls down to the ground
And elevators are not toys and I all ways ride elevators up and down one time and I hope you enjoy the safety tips and merry Christmas.
the smaller switch is for the cab lights and the bigger one is for the machine.
Interesting how they didn't install a HydroFit, this may be one of the last Otis Machine room required elevator, which I don't know is true, but this elevator sure is cool! :D
I think the standard machine room is still around. I kind of don't like the design of the MRL hydro's because it an electrical fire hazard waiting to happen, killing people in the elevator. With a machine pump tucked in the shaft where the elevator car is.
its have got an big pump and its company is FA SAL ASHENSORI
in my flat ive got an hydraulic elevator with nine flor
Wet powered? I thought Otis stopped doing that!
it's cheap! The motor is about $700 when it blows up and I guarantee it will! ticking time bombs so to speak....If they don't set the machine room on fire, count yourself as lucky A real nasty job to replace it.... like handling a greased pig
Maxton valve equipment.
that's the best part!
