2 TKE Oildraulic elevators at The Jefferson Office Condominiums in Ashburn VA

(📹 7/30/2024) These are some Thyssenkrupp elevators at The Jefferson Office Condominiums (simply The Jefferson), a very hard to miss building off of VA route 7 in Ashburn VA. These have been childhood elevators of mine for a very long time since I used to do some speech therapies in here all the time and I felt like paying a visit since it has been almost 10 years since I've been on these. Specifically, the first car in this video (the left side of this building, when viewed from the front on the outside) was the big childhood elevator of mine. I definitely don't remember there being MAD BS buttons on these when I last rode these approximately 10 years ago. Not much has changed with this building except they added Xlerator Eco hand dryers in the restrooms here to ditch paper towels (video of those coming soon on my hand dryer channel). The car buttons on these are extremely satisfying to press, like a lot more satisfying than the average MAD BS button, and almost feel like Otis MM2 buttons. These were kinda busy too at the date of filming for some reason.

Not bad.... Looks kind of big

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

I always thought they were simply 2500 lb capacity, but I guess not. 3500 lbs looks much larger though
