A tribute to Cavendish House and their lifts and escalators
(Subtitles are available)
Apologies that this video wasn't edited and uploaded nearer the closing time, but as they say, better late than never!
I've created this video a couple of weeks ago, as a memory of my visits to Cavendish House in Cheltenham, featuring all my lift and escalator rides in this iconic store. Since it closed its doors as a House of Fraser store, I believe it had opened as an indoor trading place for market stalls. I haven't been to Cheltenham since 2019, so it'll be interesting to see Cav House in its current state. I've no idea on the status of the lifts there now (the Otis ModLift was the only one still working until store closed). If anyone has been to Cav House recently, please let me know in the comments as I'm very interested. My narrations in this video explains everything in the video, so no need for me to re-type everything here.
As I mentioned in my one of my narration, I'm gonna give a shoutout to Joe's Bus/Train/Plane/Lift Adventures and link his video in the description, as it's definitely worth a watch.

Wide Angle lens test, I'd like your opinions
Переглядів 3956 місяців тому
Filmed in 2024. I've decided to film a lift very local to me today (27th June '24), which I've already featured on my channel, but I wanted to try and see what it would look like if I used my wide angle lens on my phone. Let me know your thoughts below, should I use the wide angle view going forward, or stick with my normal default view? Little bit of info about this lift, this is an old Expres...

Jolty Hydraulics Compilation!
Переглядів 5829 місяців тому
Here we have my next lift-based compilation, which I wanted to put together for a while, jolty hydraulics (and a few tractions too)! I've been in lots of hydros, but not all of them made huge jolts (the Hydrowared lift at Monmouth car park, Cwmbran being the smoothest ever). I've also included a few tractions which made some jolts. Lots of generics included - mostly Oaklands and Stannahs, note ...

Hand dryer review FAIL 2

Filmed in 2023. Located in a horrible toilet in Carno near Caersws, Mid-Wales next to a Spar shop, where we called at on our way home from North Wales. The toilets were extremely run down, and to top it off, this Arlington Supreme Series 5000 hand dryer wasn't working. Epic fail!
Axel (inst. by Horizon) lift at Dunelm, Hereford Retail Park
Переглядів 36710 місяців тому
Filmed in 2023. This was filmed in late November, and the store was very busy, as was the lift. This lift itself is a generic hydraulic Axel lift installed by Horizon with the "Piccadilly Line" voice and Shanghai Step buttons. For a cheap lift that was installed in 2010, it ran decently well though the bumps were quite jolty which isn't unusual with hydros, and I do quite like the "Piccadilly L...
The Queens Arcade's smaller Schindler S Series, and some flashbacks

Filmed in 2023 (older clips filmed 2014, 2019 and 2015 respectively). I wanted to end my day in Cardiff with some Schindler goodness, but sadly the lower floor was being rebuilt when I visited, meaning that the 2 big S Series tractions have been temporarily (I hope) decommissioned. With the lower floor being out of action, the smaller S Series hydraulic lift was only serving the upper floor and...

Glass Gen2 at Deichmann at St David's centre, Cardiff
Переглядів 72011 місяців тому
Filmed in 2023. Another lift that I hadn't filmed yet in Cardiff is this glass lift at Deichmann shoe shop located on the upper mall of the St David's centre. Because this is on the upper mall, the floor numbering is wrong - it should really be 1 and 2, not 0 and 1. A few other shops on the upper mall follow that floor numbering. Anyhow, the lift in this shop is a nice glass Otis Gen2 (I think ...

Filmed in 2023. This was filmed in November 2023, as I mentioned in my community post, it was a disappointing day for me with regards to filming lifts. I filmed all of 4, would have been more if the new Orona at Zara was working, the same with the lift modded by Oakland in Next. I'll be back hopefully to try again. Anyway, here is a set of 2 lifts which I hadn't filmed yet. These Gen2's serve l...

If not, it's an Otis Gen2 but a very generic-style Gen2, with Dewhurst buttons big and small, and a generic indicator. Last time I filmed i...

    R.I.P, that really sucks. Also, I would like to ask a rather big question. Could you possibly help me spread the word about my "Official Elevator Enthusiast Machine Room In-Sync Compilation"? Jowevator's Official Elevator Enthusiast Compilations have inspired me to start my own! (But the only problem is that my channel isn't as big or popular as yours, which would cause this wonderful idea of mine to become a failure due to either not having any participants or not having enough participants.) However, if you don't want to, you don't have to, but I would appreciate your help. I just posted the announcement video about it today.

    Hate to seem pretentious, but EcoDisc is the motor Kone use, and MonoSpace is the model. This is a common mistake, often used by Beno viewers. Another thing to note is that there are no generations of MonoSpace, just changes in fixtures. Once again Mr Gittings is at fault. And lift engineers call pre-doors ADO; Beno, AGAIN. As I said, these are common mistakes.

      Yes; ADO does stand for advanced door opening- I think Kone uses this term internally, same as terms like ACU. Just saying this because lifts are complex and it’s ok to use simplified terms most of the time- e.g. generations of Kone MonoSpace instead of fixtures (4th gen MS instead of MS with KSS280)
