Back in grade school I had a huge interest in power engineering / mechanical. I once asked my teacher if it would be possible to get a tour of the boiler room in the school. The crotchety old head custodian refused, in fact anytime I’d try to sneak a peak of the massive underground plant he’d quickly close the door. The miserable old guy told me it’s none of my business. You guys are extremely fortunate to have found an elevator mechanics as cool as Dave. He seems genuinely happy to give you a tour. I later went on to study industrial electrical in college, my instructor was a retired elevator mechanic amongst other things. The guy was a wealth of knowledge, taught me everything I know about motor control 30 years later I find myself looking after telecom DC plants. It’s a wild ride!
Great video. In 1973, a few of us were exploring the top floor of the new sciences library at Brown University when we discovered an unlocked door to the elevator machine room. There were the cable winding motors, motor-generators, and big relay boxes with relays clacking away. Just watching all this was great, and I could have easily stayed another hour. Amazing machines.
My son is 2and half year old now and he is OBSESSED with elevator! Wherever he sees tall buildings he wants to go in and have an elevator ride. I'm doing my best to support this hobby :b recently we found your videos and he loves your video with elevator! Like this video, can can watch this again and again and never gets bored. Thanks for uploading these and Keep up the good works !
KI KI well I’m touched by this comment. Hope your son enjoys my videos. I’ll upload a few high rise elevators soon for your son to see
PAelevators Woo that is so nice of you! Thank you so much! I'm sure he will love it! Look forward to that!
Great memories for 75 me. Thanks! I still have the last few ounces of Otis Elevator Co Solvent #2, the best refined mineral solvent ever. Almost odorless. Otis treated the public very well. Quality. . .
Affascinante! E' il tipo di impianti che preferisco, è evidente la passione per cura e precisione dei dettagli fatti da persone ambiziose del lavoro, è un onore poter lavorare su questi ascensori e chi lo fa è fortunato!
Years ago my parents were friends with a couple that lived in a penthouse atop of the Forsyth Barr building in Dunedin, New Zealand which was then known as the mission building and the guy was the caretaker. I have had the opportunity to see the machine room there. Also my Mum used to work as a office worker/ payroll clerk for Otis New Zealand in the 1990's. I used to go down to the workshop and the boys were always happy to answer any questions I had.
That is greatest tour. Many lovers dreamed about such tours. Now we need only friendly operators :)
mrdummy agreed and thanks you I got a few more coming up so stay tuned
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Very Impressive! Those MG sets for the low-mid elevators are massive! The freight elevator's gear-less machine 1st time I've seen one with this sort of brake drum past the communicator.
I've had a few unauthorized tours of elevator mechanical rooms in my construction and locksmithing career, none topped the 1910 US Grant Hotel in San Diego in the early 80s. Two cars had been modernized in the 60s, two were originals. Of those two only one worked and I was lucky enough to take a ride in it. I also got to take a ride in the freight elevator and the elevator they used for loading in the basement, the kind that opened on the sidewalk. The best part was the mechanical room, watching the equipment and seeing all of the relays in action. I have been in more modern mechanical rooms, one from the late 60s and another from the late 80s, those were a bit less interesting.
Wow, the otis guy was very cool to guide the visit to this gorgeous motor room
Great Tour Jared
Thanks Gene
Gene Berfield eeeeeee
In this abandoned hospital in germany, an old Otis-Lift still works!!! Must see!!! ua-cam.com/video/fnKgBhdBmrs/v-deo.html#action=share
Very Cool Video!
Very nice video
Working in RF and IT I can say that I have pulled miles of CAT5/6, fiber and coaxial cables through elevator shafts. One building that I have radio repeaters up on the roof the Otis guys modified one of the elevators roofs so we could fit the 10 foot tower sections and broken down DB series antennas in the car. They Otis guys are a cool bunch of people though.
Nice.... I'm an elevator technician also.. God bless
Congrats on 500 Subscribers!!!
thank you
Floridian Elevators now 727! congrats!
thank you
***** jared, i just want you to know that i believe that you didn't delete Jackson's channel.
It’s hard to believe less than a year ago I was at 500 now I’m at 2.2K
I installed Otis elevators for over 3 years. Very hard and heavy job.
Jerry Hubbard well it's the job I want. Something I been learning all my life. The techs in the video are actually helping me with my tests and stuff
I really enjoyed that construction of elevators but at the time, back in the 70's, there were no jobs in my local and I kept getting laid off. I went to night school that Otis sent me to and I would get a job and two or three months later, layed off until the next job. In the end, I had the opportunity to work with an adjuster and that was the ultimate job with Otis. If not for the bad economy I probably would have retired with Otis.
I'm installing Otis elevator since 1998. I'm still in 2020.
7:38 42 years as an engineer with Otis. Started as an apprentice in 1965 straight from school and never regretted it.
How often do those brushes need to be replaced ?
I just found this channel. I'm enjoying elevator facts & history. Thanks...
Steve Holsten your welcome
Never got to see inside that 411M controller where the "magic happens" (Otis adds the "M" designation when it's a modernization.) I worked on 401 Elevonic and one mod job with 411M and 335 geared controls. Having a building with 25 floors of freight doors in constant use would keep a tech busy!
Eric Brandt wait did you work on these cars?

Awesome Video!
thank you
Now I want to know about elevators
You may be the best available guy to ask - what percentage/type of buildings do not have floor marked "13" and rather use some way around it, like "12B" or "technical level", etc.
New buildings have 13 marked but older ones like historical types do not.
26 stories high in that old rusty industrial elevator lol. Just hope it's as safe as the solidness of the car.
Richard van Pukkem well the freight car is amazing runs smooth but a pain in the ass for a hotel
PAelevators Yes, the car runs amazingly smooth. Just like in a video game. A bit of rattling and the whole few-thousand-kg cart moves effortless up and down.
At the end do all those doors on the other side just lead to storage? Were they at one point functional lifts?
They're functional, except for 1 or 2.
awesome
Those 60hz transformers sound like they want to bite 😀 I'm always interested in electronics stuff, especially the distribution systems, haven't seen much of that with my own eyes. They are always properly behind locks of course.
Everything GE makes tends to sound louder over time than competitors from transformers to locomotives to coffee pots...
Are the high-rise elevator machines original or modernized
Modded in the 90s, but not recently.
Very good 👏👏👏
me: IS THAT OLD OTIS BLACK BUTTONS IN FREIGHT ELEVATOR!??!
Otis guy: * doesent tell *
wowser that freight elevator is fast. what is floor 14 used for?
Storage/mech as of now. May become an office floor eventually.
Great Tour wish i could get to see an elevator machine room
very nice
Thank you vedio is very good raouf
Very informative. But, keep the camera steady, and stop zooming in and out. That ruined it for me.
where is that building?
Downtown Pittsburgh, PA.
What is the story on the old elevators at the end that were taken out? was it the whole other side of the bank, or just those two cars?
Eric Drzewiecki There still being replaced they have The low rise to modernize that I know of the High rise isn't being modernized
nice video
7:27 WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT
edit: 7:38 WHAT THE-
WHERE IS YOUR BUILDING? CONTACT OTIS MODERNIZATION
I work for Otis, here in Uruguay, in stand by service by City Hall building, i have 6 411 M whit gearless lile that, the same machine, average of 1000 numbers of run at day (9 hours of work), i have 9 more elevators multivoltage or UMV, originals whit generators, two of them whit 72 years all original, and two more panoramics that i hated, environment is a curse for them. Elevonic are the best
I work for a company reline lift brake. Shoes. Could some one show me in detail exactly how they work and how they are set up
@@petershaw1705 Are many brake systems like elevators are, in the elevators from this video works whit a huge coil, a electromagnet, mobile iron pieces inside the coil move the "shoes" and liberate the brake, in this elevator the shoes acting over a cilinder, huge iron cilinder in one extreme of the rotor of electric motor, so, the brake is a friction thing, in other systems you have a shoes acting in the inner of the cilinder, friction again
but stop an elevator only by shoes give a rude stop(friction), so, in elevators like this, and in modern elevators in general, the motor have an eletrical stop, very slow, that give a soft stop, then, when the motor are stoping the shoes acting over the cilinder
now, when you need take the shoes for maintenance, is other thing, is a mess. You need stop the elevator in the last top door, cut the energy, and be sure the doors, all of them are closed. Big springs acting over the shoes, so you need remove the springs,
the springs are slowly removed by force with the nuts that tighten it, the cabin slowly go up and
stops when the counterweight hits the bottom of the well. Sometimes this procedure can be make it moving the elevator in inspection mode, if you have
an inspection buttons on the control, many times you don't, and many times you need jump the finals and limits contact to do this
Of course, all those procedures can only be done by trained personnel
where can my husband obtain some elevator light and switch panels??? he's been trying to find some of this stuff for years and can't?
Erica Burns like controllers?
Erica Burns like the light panels inside the cars and the button panels??
Hard hats?
Yotam Amit❤
can you make a elevator starting from the 3rd floor??
I haven't seen the low-rise ones in action
Whats the speed of these elevators? (FPM)
Nathance high rise are 700 the low rise are 500
Good
Love the elevator "hum" noise in the background. It symbolises the death of humanity. It symbolizes the impending destruction brought upon ourselves by ourselves. Too deep? Sry. Love the vids lads.
It's a transformer on the 14th floor.
Could someone tell me the name of the song in the beginning of the video?
Yes please, I like the intro music.
5 years later.... links in the description ( if y'all hadn't already looked 😄 ).
PI plate slipped or bad up level brush.....
Seems to me like there is a lot of video with below the belt footage of people. Just saying
Also I love how he single control was modded.
same here I got the handle from it too
PAelevators really that's awesome can't wait to see it in a live stream!
Parabéns á vcs.também sou técnico em elevadores,quando precisarem de mim.é só procurar.!!!
I stayed here Back in June.
The motors looked like ecodiscs
gosh,,hook me up with some old elevator panels please??
Sean Burns email me PAelevators@gmail.com
Do you have any more left?
I can message him. The job here stopped bc the building couldn't afford to pay. All of the old COP's and stuff are still on site. I'm good friends with Security here and maintenance. I'll stop by and see what i can find
Thanks! :D
Will you need me to give you my email? If so, I will pm it to you on Instagram (from my elevatorsoflakecounty account) so that way I'm not putting it up in the comment section for everybody to see.
double brake for holding extra heavy loads such as bullion
OTIS GREAT COMPANY
You better than diesel ducy mate
The first floor is now gone
they van give those replacement parts to who need to fix original elevators
Transformers hold alot of power listen to them buzzing could not pay me to go into that room no way...
THYSSEN ASCENSEUR GREAT
SKYRISE OTIS ELEVATOR

An other fucking mod :-(
Clément 2000 yeah but it's one of the best modernizations I come across
PAelevators yes, because for you it was a good way to get parts.
Clément 2000 no that's not whg
PAelevators but, that's still not so bad because they kept the old cabs, motors and generators.
