Haughton Traction Elevators at Intercontinental Hotel Chicago

[dieselducy]

Dodging your reflection? Anyway did u ever see it before modding?

[musicfreakcc]

@dieselducy Nope

[TheWindows982]

IL is parking level you remind on the new tower.

[TheWindows982]

IL - intercontinental level and parking space.

[mas90009]

Lol 1:16 Counter weight comes down.

Lobby was added in 1960, and the historic tower was built in 1929

[FGelevators]

who would want to get stuck in the extremely tiny elevator on 38. lol. didn't it used to have a manuel gate? if they did FAIL! these might have been modernized by montgomery at some points due to the indicater with montgomery hall lanterns inside

[NYelevators]

Is the shuttle elevator hydraulic or traction?

Awesome Video!

[otis6970]

Haughton equipment is CRAP. Very unreliable.

30 years of elevator repair talking

[Windows446]

How do you know this is a Haughton?

I would've never guessed that. I would've guessed Westinghouse.

[musicfreakcc]

@Windows446 It has the Haughton logo on the floor.

[kdjk5467]

I would not have noticed the gum chewing if it were not commented on by others.... but it was distracting in a creepy way

[singsingsing22]

Is the shuttle elevator a hydraulic? Or just a slower traction?

[Brent09989]

Your gum chewing is horrific.

[Balarick]

ask them what IL is.

[misterelevatorcc]

This looks like Hitachi elevators.

[Mattsterofreality]

that gum chewing is annoying

RIVETTING FOOTAGE.

[maalit72]

What is on levels "FC" , "12" & "14"?

[GamePro0012]

"FC" stands for Fitness Center. I'm not sure about floors 12 and 14.

[roombafan56001]

ive been there the pool is on one of thoose floors

[sublimerulz1]

Was the shuttle elevator and Haughton elevator aswell? Pleasssseee comment back!

[musicfreakcc]

The shuttle elevator was made by Haughton. Unfortunately, they just modernized it, which makes me angry, since that elevator used to have a classic scissor-gate.

[sublimerulz1]

That Sucks

[stevethemeave45]

in the shuttle elevator what was on the 42nd floor, it looked like an unfinished room.

[scheitinjebroek]

that seems to be a storage area

[Baytrail]

The New Tower elevators are high speed elevators. These are rather slow, and the shuttle elevator is much slower than these.

[maalit72]

what is on the 41st floor & the 42nd floor?

[musicfreakcc]

Hotel penthouses and mechanical rooms.

[killerstump]

wait, so the only way to get to the Penthouses is to take the main elevators to the 38th floor and then take the shuttle elevator?

[killerstump]

Thats actually pretty neat

[killerstump]

This hotel is so cool. And is has an interesting layout. I was surprised to see a shuttle elevator that started on the 38th floor. These are beautiful elevators and have the old classic elevator chime. This hotel is awsome too.

Thanks for putting this video up, I love it.

[Baytrail]

Wouldn't want to get stuck in the shuttle elevator.

[killerstump]

Me neither

[dickcheney6]

@Baytrail Is there a particular elevator you WOULD want to get stuck in? Like perhaps the one you're in along with an attractive person :)

[aceee06]

That area on 42 looks like a storage room.

[musicfreakcc]

Actually, they were renovating that space.

[Baytrail]

Like the Hilton in Downtown Chicago, there are 3 banks and the executive floors start with T's. I believe the banks are:

1. LL, L-13

2. LL, L, 2, 14-25

3. LL, L, 2, T1, T2, T3, T5

[alpaljl]

u were chewing gum like crazy

amazing elevators

[FranceHopper]

Dang that was a small and creaky shuttle.

Are the roofs really low or are you just holding the camera up high?

[musicfreakcc]

The roofs were low - I'm tall.

[FranceHopper]

Ah. That would do it.

[CaptainElevator42189]

I think those elevators are very nice, and I guess the 42nd floor was being renovated. Other than that, the 3 call buttons on the lobby were very cool to look at.

[elevatorfan762]

What is FC stand for?

[musicfreakcc]

Fitness Center.

[dieselducy]

First view!! AWESOME elevator

[g4tech]

tv looks a lot like the ones in downtown toronto i think all elevator tvs may run on the same thing
