- The history of Otis in the UK.
Waygood first started making lifts in 1833.
Otis first started making lifts in 1853.
1890s - Otis made their Birdcage design of lift. This was there first type of electric lift. This was very posh, single speed, and driven by a handle. Meanwhile Waygood were also starting to make electric lifts.
1900s - Waygood merged with the UK division of Otis. WaygoodOtis started making their Tramcar design of lift. This was a single speed automatic lift that did not require an operator. (but an operator was still required for their faster leveling lifts).
1920s - WaygoodOtis slightly updated their design of automatic lift. Also they started making semi-automatic leveling lifts where the operator would still drive the lift but the lift would level by itself.
1930s - Otis now made a design of lift that went 1m/s and leveled by itself and had automatic doors and could remember more than one call at a time (like a present day lift). At the time this was amazing state of the art new technology. Otis were making lifts that other companies did not make until the 1960s.
In the video I also show a 1930s goods lift of this sort. Without the 30s styling it seems like a fairly recent lift - ITS NOT it is actually 1930s - it shows how ahead of their time otis were!
Also from the 1930s onwards Otis also made cheaper legacy lifts, so that they would not loose trade from the people that could not afford their leveling lifts. These legacy lifts were like the lifts the companies were making, gated and single seed. (I am calling these legacy rather than cheap because they were still good quality and would out last any generic lift of today)
1960s - updated design, more heavy duty, but not that much different. Otis now also made very fast lifts with touch sensitive buttons.
1980s - A major update in design and styling. Lifts now have plastic white square buttons.
1990s to present day - Otis made some very nice posh 2000VFs and some rather dull 2000VFs. Also otis started making gen2s.

The 1980s lifts are the ones I’m most familiar with whenever I travelled to the US.

Otis VF were the best :) they always look like luxury
I am just so excited because you found gated lift
the older lifts that remembered calls were known as preselect, and worked off old controlers that held the relay in untill nearing contact in shaft that slowed it down untill it reached floor level.
The 80s Otis, that’s what the Marriott Marquis used to have!!!
Now it's a Otis Series M2
I love the Otis 2000 lifts
I love it
I've found a 1960's Evans lift in Bolton but the motor sounds like the 1930's freight lift at 2:03.
I finally found somewhere with a properly old lift the other day, got a ride on a 1944 Otis gated lift (as well as a 1934 Johns & Waygood gated lift). I tried to get a ride on a 60s Otis that supposedly has buttons that pop out when you activate them for a call but that one is in the process of being horridly modernized by Otis with crap generic buttons and getting a ride didn't happen.
The 1st lift on the list is epic
2:03: epic motor
Yes
I am a fan of Otis lifts.
Telfuke so am i
My 2 favorite lifts are: Otis 2000 VF (Glass) and Schindler (all Schindler)
6:16 this one is a cheap / LM
Where are these Series 1 located at?
I like Otis 2000 VF
Otis is the American elevator company still around, all the other American elevator companies (Dover, Montgomery, United States Elevator Co., Haughton, and Westinghouse) were taken over by foreign elevator companies!
Other elevator manufacturers, some maybe now extinct, include A.B.See(folded in the mid-1930s), Shepard, Singer, and Warner.
The 1940 "goods" sounds like a evil crackle
the only lift from 1853 still in operating condition is in the Cooper Union Federation building in NEW YORK, AND IS BELT DRIVEN.
Modded in the 1950s but the motor was still original
I been on one in 1852
I have been in the cheap 2000H
Please give me the video where the 7:55 otis 2000 VF is
ok i now know - westquay shopping centre in southampton
I heard grandma otis voice sat 7:10
8:15 - why does that one sound like a violin? Is it the cable drum on the side of the lift?
I don't know what is really making the sound, other than it is called the "Gen2 Aeroplane."
I think Gen2 Airplane motor
@@LBSiUK Heard its the sound of the lift's belt cables rubbing against each other
Kindly provide me 4to 5 literature review on elevator otis industry
Grandma otis also at 7:26
1900 that means otis has been working to make elevators from 100 years
10:29 where is that lift from?
Jorge González From China.
That's in westfield stratford in london
@@relevanteaglealarms109 dude that's fully incorrect
how the hel did they havv camera coloru in 1900
Nobody said they had a camera in color in 1900
tehnhow did it video
they did, the first colour image was in 1888, meaning colour video was possible
@@Aomicplane the videos aren't from the 1900s. He is filming lifts from the 1900s
