If you record the elevator, check this out:

Elevator Hacking: Press the floor button and close button. It really works! Doesn't work on old elevators.

Wow 21 years old and already replaced. Is the new one actually a better ride?

[bearchoirfan]

Smoother, but takes a second or so longer to level off.

[CaptainElevator42189]

I guess parking, and I think this is a Gen2 MRL elevator.

P might also be the podium level.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, I think so.

[bearchoirfan]

Level P is really the podium level. Listen to the voice announcement.

This elevator has a machine room. The top floor doesn't house the control panel. Removing the old elevator doesn't mean demolishing the machinery room also. It can be refurbished to house the new powertrain.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Interesting to note that this is a new elevator with a machine room, but even today, many standard traction elevators have the machine room.

[bearchoirfan]

That's simply the issue of capital. It still costs apparently less to acquire a conventional traction than its machine-room-less version.

How about this OTIS hydraulic? It's kinda quiet inside the car: v=w2yG9OJXLyw

[CaptainElevator42189]

That's strange, since I always thought that MRL elevators are cheaper, because the machine room doesn't need to be built.

[bearchoirfan]

Special technologies are required when dealing with the shaft top on installation of a machine-room-less lift. And the technolgies in installing conventional tractions have long been so popular that the costs incurred have been extremely low. Of course, conventional models are themselves cheaper than their MRL counterparts.

[CaptainElevator42189]

I know, so even conventional traction elevators are still better than hydraulics.

[Baytrail]

What is P for?
