wow there is a macys in pittsburgh with 13 story escalators 12-13 have old wooden escalators I will film all the escaltors when I go back to Macys and they have old elevators and they are messed up but still I will get videos
It sure is amazing to have escalators serve many floors, and I did do the elevators earlier this year. I didn't bump into any walls, but it was just the transfer from 1-3 to the upper floors 4-11.
That's amazing how there are escalators that serve 15 floors, but it's too bad they resulted in failures/injuries, and typically, most escalators work best in 2-6 floor applications.
That's a lot of escalators. The escalators at the Peachtree Center Station on Marta run about 15 floors, but they're continuous. I usually take the elevator, since it's much faster. Also, those escalators have had catastrophic failures in the past, resulting in some severe injuries.
That is the biggest bank of turned-off escalators I have ever seen! I have seen banks like that with running escalators, but never with turned-off escalators.
Kinda reminds me of the Macy's in Downtown Pittsburgh. They have a bank of several old modernized Otis traction elevators, and they also have escalators that go up all 12 (?) floors. It has been so long since I have been there, I have forgotten how many floors there are. PatrickNedz may know. Anyway, they have the top floor shut down, which is a shame, because they have antique Otis Wood-Step Escalators. A true gem of old elevating technology.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, they are only turned on during massive sporting events. Other than that, they are turned off for the most part.

They were turned off.

That's amazing, and I wonder if there are any buildings with say 20 floors that have escalators serving all floors.

Wow!!! This is truly amazing. Did you almost bump into the wall? Where are the elevators. I encourage you to film the elevators. That would be fun!

Yes, it was a really good workout, even if they were turned on. But they were turned off to save energy, and are only used on the big game days.
CaptainElevator42189 3 years ago
That had to have been a good workout. Why were they all turned off?

Yes, it would be interesting to be in a 12-floor building with escalators on each floor, and it would be exciting if they were all turned on.
CaptainElevator42189 3 years ago
Very nice. I would like to ride those someday.
