Schindler Traction Elevators at the Austin Center Omni Hotel

[CaptainElevator42189]

There's no death trap, and this is a 500A gearless elevator.

@CaptainElevator42189 This might be a 400A mod, but I am not concluding anything. Schindler typically uses those chimes on 400A mods/models.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, I know, because with the Schinder high performance traction elevators, they have the beep floor signal.

Too fast for a 400A.

[CaptainElevator42189]

These used to be Westinghouse traction elevators.

The Omni in Charlotte has Westinghouse elevators and is a black glass building.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Wow, that's amazing, and I was amazed that I got the elevators in this building.

[dea41396returns]

what did these use to be?

[CaptainElevator42189]

The Austin Centre elevators are also glass, but since it's in the office part of the building, then it is closed off, and I didn't want to get caught by security. As with Schindler, this might be a 500A series elevator. So, the speed might be more like 700 FPM.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, it sure is a nice elevator, and I too like Schindler 400A elevators.

[maalit72]

nice elevator.

Shindler 400A has a good elevator.

my chanel has a new elevator chanel from israel.

[CaptainElevator42189]

That's correct, since one part is the Omni Hotel, and the other is the Austin Center Office Building.

[Baytrail]

The interior looks more of that of an office building. But very nice anyway.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, it did.

[Quentinmovie]

did that elevator have a voice

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, floors 13, 14, and 15 (P) are locked off. Also, I did a one-way trip (Down only), since it was very busy.

[elevatorgeek762]

Is floors 13-15 locked?

[Baytrail]

Very nice elevators and apnoramic elevators. Why couldn't you start from the top?

[CaptainElevator42189]

I think both chimes are new, since there's the basic hall lantern chime, and the 2-tone car station chime.

[harrihealey02]

That's a strange chime, obviously installed a new chime and left the old one?

[CaptainElevator42189]

These were originally Westinghouse elevators.

[dea41396returns]

what were these originally??
