mrmattandmrchay | Council Block old Lift (Typical scary lift from the 1970s) @mrmattandmrchay | Uploaded December 2018 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This is a typical 'Express Lift Co Ltd' model that was installed in most council blocks from the 1970s.
There are a few videos that have been on my HDD for a while
waiting for some extra footage (like this one).
For this video, I may have a separate trip to have a look in the motor room as I may have an opportunity in the new year - To be confirmed.
For my next video (coming soon) it's the same case, I didn't want to upload it until I filmed the motor room. I waited a YEAR before being able to film it - some ROARRRING old car park lifts - this video is being edited now!
THIS VIDEO
Original cabs and landing position lamps, but the motor has been connected to a Variable Frequency Drive rather than being completely original. But it does make that WICKED slow down noise when the lift reaches 6 - listen at 5:58.
The internal display has been added at some stage also, so not completely original but certainly good enough to film!
The lift smells of an 'old hospital' or 'old persons home'. I'm not criticising, but i'm hoping you know what sort of smell I mean!
Don't interfere with that mechanism!!
Thanks to a former work colleague for the heads-up on this one.
