EMR Hydraulic Freight Elevator at Art Building.

[lormarina]

Even though it is a nice elevator. I don't think it is a freight elevator.

[CBMAwards]

Cool Elevator. I Like The Bell and how the Indicator Works.

[twotailedavenger]

other than the deeper car, I don't think I could identify this as a freight elevator without looking at the capacity rating.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Well, this is a freight elevator, because of the deep car and the capacity rating.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, and it's rather interesting.

[lfamily06]

The Hall Lantern flashes at every beat when chiming.

[CaptainElevator42189]

I know, but both Kone and ThyssenKrupp use Epco fixtures, and similar cab designs.

[elevator9917]

This is not the ThyssenKrupp elevator, but it is Kone.

[CaptainElevator42189]

I guess this has lots of insulation to quiet the sound, and because of its capacity, this elevator uses a dry power unit.

[bearchoirfan]

The propulsion drive is a bit quiet for an elevator with an American hydraulic propulsion design.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Really, that's very interesting.

[jin461]

I'm at the Studio Arts program there. That elevator

doesn't listen to what you tell it to do.

[Baytrail]

What the heck do they use a hydraulic freight elevator? They need one at least even 100FPM!

[CaptainElevator42189]

No, these are standard, and are part of the Standard & Surface Mount fixture groups. Also, these are for all installations, and conversely, the M.M.L series are the muntz (bronze) vandal resistant signal fixtures.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Not really. These fixtures are still made today.

[6Q73RA]

For rehab, newly installed or both?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Those are the EPCO Toughline fixtures (Car stations, lanterns, floor indicators), and the Vandal Resistant Inchline surface mount hall stations.

[6Q73RA]

These are probably customly made.

[6Q73RA]

A.K.A. EPCO S.S.L. line fixture for the car station and hall lantern.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Actually, it looks a lot better, since it uses actual walls and floors, rather than protective panels.

[6Q73RA]

What kind of fixture are those?

[6Q73RA]

Looks rehabed.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, it does the same thing on the other 2 floors, and is actually caused by a wiring problem.

[Baytrail]

Look at that nice effect on the down arrow.

[CaptainElevator42189]

In the case of signal fixtures, they might want to go with a little more aesthetic taste, and as with high capacity, this is the freight elevator, which transports paintings, sculptures, and other large art pieces.

[KWolfM]

There is one thing I don't get. If OTIS, Schindler, KONE, ThyssenKrupp/Dover modernized an elevator, why they uses EPCO fixtures instead of their original ones?

[g4tech]

why such a high capacity elevator in a art building
