Schindler Hydraulic Elevator at the Belk (Dutch Square Mall)

It would be better if you kept on going to the 3rd floor.

Inground 330A, former Westy

this elevator is really bad because you don't get any cell phone signal while you're inside it, that means if you get stuck you wouldn't be able to call for help !

[suzzex]

ADA complaint phone...

this elevator is a holeless hydraulic elevator of the schindler 330 a series.

[suzzex]

If this is a 330A HT Schindler, then when it was modernized they must have re-done the hydraulics aswell. WEestinghouse I don't believe ever made hole-less hydraulics.

escalatorgeek881, how come hydraulic elevators are so slow and traction is faster ?

[suzzex]

Its not that either or is faster. People prefer the elevators to go slower when there are fewer floors. Roped hydraulic elevators can go decently quick. Don't forget that traction is just pulleys and a motor, while hydraulics pump fluids to push the elevator up and down.

it was carpet in the elevator when i was there in december of 2007. So they again remodeled the elevator all they did was changed the carpet.

this was clearly modernized, and originally a westinghouse, evidenced by the door frame, which aren't found on any other brand of elevator

The close button don't work on all Schindler elevators.

[suzzex]

Not true. Ask CaptainElevator42189.

I would say that this elevator was completely remodeled. The doorframe on the outside of the elevator is rounded which signifies an elevator from the 1950's-1960's. It appears as if everything including the elevator cab was installed recently. This would also prove why the buttons outside are different.  They were unable to change the frame due to the electronics are building in on the new Schindlers. Nice Video.

[Baytrail]

And those buttons are TXPress if they were modernized by Schindler.

[suzzex]

HXpress, not TXpress.

[Baytrail]

Has this elevator been modernized before?

[neaelevator]

Yes, read the post I added to this video.

[escalatorgeek881]

Sorry I will not say HT-Series anymore in the description.

[lumix14]

HT is the fixtures not the series.
