LIFT TOUR | Naumi Hotel, Wellington CBD
Переглядів 102День тому
With three lifts to explore, lets take a tour of thr lifts at the Naumi Hotel in Wellington CBD!
The Classic Survives! | 80s-90s Express Hydraulic Lift | The Warehouse, Tory Street
Переглядів 98День тому
After the store suffered fire damage earlier this year, resulting in a temporary closure, I was worried that this lift might be modded or replaced - but nope, it's still here, still the same and still AWESOME!
LOUD Motor! | 1980s Unknown Hydraulic Lift | Undisclosed Location, Wellington
Переглядів 19121 день тому
I have chosen not to disclose the location of this lift publicly, due to the nature of the premises, and due to the fact that this lift is not usually "publically" rideable. Anyhow, this lift might not be glamorous, but my goodness that motor screams!
Blue Buttons! | OTIS 2000H Hydraulic Lift | Best Western Hotel, Johnsonville
Переглядів 204Місяць тому
This one I've known about for a long time, but never got around to actually filming! This is a nice example of an OTIS 2000H, still operating pretty much original - with the exception of new blue inside buttons.
CAR WASH | 2024 Istobal M'Wash 3pro | Z Masterton
Переглядів 497Місяць тому
Z Masterton is the one of the 9 Petrol Stations chosen by Z to recieve a brand new car wash, as part of the 2024 upgrade program. As with all upgrades in the 2024 package, the new wash is a brand new Istobal M'Wash 3 Pro, with plain black brushes and a foam curtain (infinite mousse). This new machine replaced an old Washtec SoftCare Evo.

These lightly-modded Express lifts look nice, but sadly the indicators (including the rare "next up" lamps don't work.
Then there were two! | 2024 Schindler 2400 & Express (Mod. Schindler) lifts | New World, Newtown
Переглядів 277Місяць тому
Newtown Mall decided to add a second lift! A brand new Schindler 2400 was installed in 2024, to work alongside the original Express hydraulic lift. In this video, we take a look at both lifts in action!
Wainuiomata Redevelopment | Update 5!

It's been three years since I last did an update on Wainuiomata, so let's revisit and see if anything has changed?
The NEW #BlueLifts | 2024 Schindler 7000 Traction Lifts | Wellington Hospital, WSB Building
Переглядів 7023 місяці тому
Filmed with @t3224.elevators_nz and WaygoodOtis. The day has finally come - the first two new #bluelifts are online. I'm sure many people will be sad to see the end of the old OTIS lifts - and despite what I said in the video, that does also include myself. These lifts have been featured on this channel since its inception, and have been a fan favorite for many years, and for the last 3 years I...
REPLACED | 2024 Schindler 7000 Traction Lift | Wellington Hospital CSB Building Freight Lift
Переглядів 4404 місяці тому
The first of the two CSB Freight lifts has been replaced, with lift B5 having gotten the Schindler 7000 treatment (B6 will follow soon). Some updates have been made to the design following on from the Purple Lifts done in 2022-23, with this lift having different indicators and also using new shaft doors (instead of recycling the existing lift doors). What you see here, is almost identical to wh...
Not often I film these | 2024 CIBES Glass Platform Lift | Kai Tahi, Porirua CBD
Переглядів 3034 місяці тому
I don't normally do platform lifts, as I don't find them very interesting, but this brand new scenic example from CIBES (installed by Vestner) is actually pretty nice!
It's Still Here!!! | EPL-KONE/SEMAG Hydraulic Lift | Bunnings, Tory Street, Wellington CBD
Переглядів 4315 місяців тому
When I first found out that this store was closing for a few months for earthquake straightening works and some refurbishments, I was fully expecting this old lift to be replaced or modded, but to my amazement, it survives untouched (the buttons were replaced many years ago, prior to the closure).
#BlueLifts | New Lifts Coming Soon!
Переглядів 3055 місяців тому
New #BlueLifts are nearly ready to go at Wellington Hospital, with the fist two cars - C1 and C2 due to enter service soon! The new lifts are Schindler 7000s, and a re similar in design to those installed to replace the Purple Lifts in 2022-23.
Big Beeping Buttons! | OTIS? Express? (mod. Dewhurst) Traction Lifts | IBIS Hotel, Wellington CBD
Переглядів 4355 місяців тому
(The original make of these lifts is currently disputed) I stayed at the IBIS recently, as I was watching a late-finishing show in Wellington and had to be at work the next day. The hotel has some interesting lifts. Whilst the Dewhurst mod itself is nothing to special, I do love the jumbo "G" buttons and the fact that the buttons beep when pressed. The ground floor lift lobby also has an odd se...

1:09 well that's sad
25:58 I knew this hand dryer is rubbish
Too many good supreme ba101 hand dryers
16:03 this hand dryer is better than JD McDonald applause
These have now been modernised
Hbo
Too many pedestrians misusing the footpath part of the level crossing 😮
23:01 still good hand dryer
Nice video!
Bro I still can't believe you are doing this again! I used to watch all of your Hand Dryer videos and be completely blown away from the amount of international hand dryers that are not from the US (which is where I'm from). Thank you so much for doing this again for all of us, and you are an absolute legend for doing so! Much love! ❤
4:41 Jumpscare
The Wellington Apartments Lift was fully unlocked when I tried it
Awesome!!!!!!
Nice to see another one of these. I've actually come across a hand dryer like the supreme BA202 in the UK and there apprently made by S&P a Spanish brand which is interesting. Usually supplied by vent axia etc
I knew Supreme were not the true manufacturer of them, but had no clue who actually was, so just went with the local "Supreme" name. It takes a long time to produce these "revisited" videos as I have a lot of different places I need to visit. Hopefully i can get the third part out before the end of the year!
@@the_alex_ellis_channel6923 Yeah I have good memories watching the old hand dryer vids from you as at the time i was quite afraid of loud hand dryers but now I like them especially older ones. I've got a playlist on my channel with some hand dryers I've filmed
4:18 Eighth, floor. DA DA, Da Doors opening! 6:03 Very loud clunk!
It's Truly Amazing when an Old Lift Survives a Store Fire or Store Refurbishment.
Very little has changed, so I'm guessing it was only a small fire. I'm not 100% sure, but I think some of the damage was caused by water from sprinklers or fire hoses.
Lol; throwback to that one period of time post-COVID when it was suddenly labelled as “Staff Only” without warning 💀 I’m glad this has held on. This more-Americanised style of GEC Express honestly ain’t bad.
Formerly the CQ Hotel, with the Schindler EuroLift side being "Comfort" and the Gen2 side being "Quality". Used to frequent this place when I first came to NZ - the lounge near the restaurant was honestly pretty nice to just chill in! Kinda surprised the two Gen2’s are connected upstairs - pretty sure the reason why L2 was locked in the second one is because that is _technically_ part of a separate apartment building (The Wellington Apartments) and not the Quality Hotel - probably why that one also didn’t get a cab redecoration. I’ve also always been meaning to revisit the Schindler EuroLift at minimum, but I’m a bit wary of reception on the ground floor near that one! 😅
Thankfully, reception was quite busy when I went, and that's how I got away with it. Plus I only use my phone and not a big camera, so it is less obvious what I'm doing.
It feels so different finding a Schindler Eurolift instead of the usual 300P & 5400AP (Often With D-Series), also M-Series. It also feels so good finding 5400EU's with FI MXB or FI MXV. It's like finding Scrolling Schindler M-Series.
Hi nice video
Those red buttons look American! Not a fan.
These American Adams fixtures remind me a lot of Otis Series 1. These are common in North America because of ADA compliance
The motors in this 2600 are exactly the same as the 2600 at Pak N Save Hornby. At least this 2600 has Braille, Hornby doesn't.
Hello, old friend. I'm happy this 90s classic is still around. When I say old friend, I mean the lift
I got stuck in that lift 2 years ago
What routes does it operate?
NCS do not operate urban routes. They only provide School, Charter & Rail Replacement services, as well as private contract work.
@@the_alex_ellis_channel6923 ok
In my opinion, IKEA and KONE go really well together, as they are from similar countries (IKEA is from Sweden, KONE is from Finland, both are in Nordic countries).
I live in New Zealand
Hey what is the music in the video?
3:57
Great shot of the DFB 7267 going past manor park level crossing but hawkes Bay used to have DFBs but hawkes Bay is not getting them anymore since the cyclone
Not bad for a Generic
Nice 80's/90's Dewhurst Buttons
Looks *very* well-built for most unbranded generic lifts of this nature! I suppose it has to be, seeing as it's bigger and more heavy-duty than a lot of the publicly rideable “passenger lifts”. That motor sound is what I like to nickname the "ferry horn" - though, in this case, it sounds more like a disgruntled cow 😂😆
Is it dry powered?
Never even heard of such a thing, let alone know how to identify one!
@@the_alex_ellis_channel6923 "Dry" or "submersible" just means where the motor is located. On the vast majority of hydraulics, it was located inside the tank and "submerged" in its own hydraulic fluid. This may sound stupid, but the pump is specifically designed to be immersed and runs quieter due to the sound deadening of the fluid. Older lifts have the pump outside the tank instead.
@@TheDragonFire123 I mean… The motor certainly *sounds* loud here, so it could be a dry-powered hydro. I don't know if you're able to find out by shining a flashlight through the shaft or if you actually have to go into the motor room itself to know for sure.... although a possible clue is that I _think_ the lift is top-drive, based on the presumed motor room entrance on the top floor at 1:04.
@@t3224.elevators_nzYou can make an educated guess on the motor's volume, but the only way to know for sure is to go in the motor room sadly.
That looks old
As per the title, this lift is from the 1980s.
@the_alex_ellis_channel6923 oh that's Like 43 years and is the cable not replaced?
@@randomanonymous-q5d It's a Hydraulic lift.......it doesn't have cables.....
@the_alex_ellis_channel6923 oh there is hydraulic lifts in the 80's
@@randomanonymous-q5d Hydraulic Lifts have been around for a long time, same for Traction Lifts.
This is the nicest bus in Wellington in my opinion. It’s such a shame NZ Bus don’t operate it very often.
The only downside to the Enviro 500s is that the leg room isn't as good as on Tranzit's EV's or BCIs.
@@the_alex_ellis_channel6923 Good point, I did notice that quite a bit the last time I rode it. I’ve got a question for you. What is your favourite Wellington bus from either Transurban, NZ Bus, or Mana Newlands, and why?
I remember going to the Westpac Stadium in Wellington to watch a Rugby Game back in 2010 i mean i was 10 Years Old at the time
Where is this?×
It's in the title of the video, dipstick.
Why is there a Q8 sticker on your windscreen
Same alarm in Blenheim
Awesome sounds
When I watched this the other day I thought you were being a little picky about the G button being set differently than the 2 above it. Today I had to go into the Best Western, and I now agree with you. It is somewhat annoying.
Oh, it's absolutely being picky.....but it's the kind of thing that just is annoying.....it's like "now you've seen it, you can't unsee it".
Are you going to go film ward street level crossing because they have got the traffic lights up and running.
It’s called Vialis Eba Dutch e bells
Arguably one of the best (or at least, the most well-kept) OTIS 2000 Hs in the country 😀 The blue buttons are a nice touch!
Quite unusual, yes!
cool video alex. otis is good lift company imo
I wa in jhonsonvlie today
Nice
The airforce was made by world dryer. Yet was rebranded by initial 7:29
