Schindler 330A Holeless Hydraulic Elevator in Nordstrom-Dulles Town Center-Sterling, VA

[suzzex]

So if every elevator in the building is inground, what makes this holeless?

[dea41396returns]

I meant holeless... look at the video of the glass lifts...

[suzzex]

You sure that isn't inground?

[dea41396returns]

yeah

[suzzex]

I would investigate a bit more. We have found that most Schindlers that we thought were holeless are inground.

[dea41396returns]

every schindler in the bldg is holeless. The majority of the lifts in the building are MontgomeryKONE

[suzzex]

Alright, I believe you.

[elevatortimes]

All Nordstrom elevators are schindler and have the same design.

[dea41396returns]

no, I've seen an OTIS elevator at several, and some montgomery's, and montgomeryKONE's, all with different designs!!!

[elevatorsonly]

Yes, Nordstrom uses the SAME DESIGN on all new store elevators, and many different designs for older stores

Too bad this isn't a traction elevator.

[dea41396returns]

Unfortunatly, Nordstrom only uses traction elevators for 3 or more floors, but for 2 floor stores, they use hydraulic, and have one elevator, as these stores are usually smaller, and are abreveated stores, respectively, since 2-story stores don't have as many departments 9/10 cases

[CaptainElevator42189]

Also, some Nordstrom locations move into former department stores, and make them higher end, even though most use 2-floor hydraulic elevators.

well, this one was built new, and before it was built, there was nothing there except more parking
