So, is the Dover elevator fixed?

[ivanvladmom11]

at least it's moving

[blairporter1]

probably just keeping the pipes pressurized



[mileyrocks1234ify]

@dieselducy how did you get out on the first episode??

[posion405]

It was never broke watch this one /watch?v=GhI_ZhBfv_M&feature=r­elmfuall and you can tell all he did was turn the fire key if you look at the reflection and listen you can tell 5:00 - 5:30 thumbs up so people can see!

[whitetrash091]

6 is a denomic number thats why it kept stopping last time >.<

[everglow1000]

u should open the phone cabinet

[matheusmatos32]

Just because you don't have even an elevator company!

[didogazeto]

elevator has got very bored, so it starts making noise for fun, but it forgot to move :P

[SuperAlfie1000]

lift

[zomgtehrei]

does..

this guy have nothing but videos about one elevator?

What the fuck?

[goldrush894]

ok so watch as i press 6.... then we go up to 6!

ok now watch as i press G... then we go to the ground!

This is messed up...

now watch as i press 3... then we go to 3!!!

this is so messed up!!!

[exoticcar5482]

that's just 1 half famous and half infamous elevator. all those elevator photographers on YouTube know about this elevator. since it gets stuck a lot and stuff like that.

[KOOLGUUY4536]

nope not fixed i wouldnt ride it

[TheMendozabradley]

hmmn that DOVER elevator fixed? hello dieselducy !

[harrygoozee]

is it night time?

[alexweb8]

The only elevator I've ever been stuck in was a Dover Impulse a few years ago (Might have actually been a ThyssenKrupp). I've never been stuck on an Otis or a Schindler, despite the fact that I don't really like Schindler.

[JustBearWithMe]

this elevator is a pice of Bull@#$T and it has something against you riding it i'd say.

[hatwithfloppers]

how many times did you say "now watch this!" during the video?

[gerbilPROJECT]

i have been on a dover before. actually like 10. they never failed me.

[INeedAttention]

I wonder if the oil is low, causing the pump to cavitate and draw air into the piston. This might cause the rough ride, which could trigger fault sensors. The controller may realize the piston has drawn in air, which is why it is circulating fluid while stopped.

[schreiber37]

Dude hydrolic motor elevators run like that because they keep the oil warm in the motor and the that one needs to be back to state requirements.

[Icemoney22]

we have those same dover elevators at my mother's job I hate them i got stuck in one for 5 hrs on the top floor on my way down

[Cubs54231]

1.that is the fan making the noise

2. His friend is pressing the th Button on floor 1 and 2

3. He is gay

[VCube100]

its the fan of the monter

[mas90009]

that guy who calls you press the elevator button, I'm not stupid

[Tecwhizz]

You can tell it parks at G* and 6 a lot, as the indicators are near burned out.

[sputtnikk11]

maybe the motors are running only when its stopped becouse its recharging its hydralic pressure? And maybe its running out of pressure, maybe thats why you stopped in the other videos?? im not sure.... :S

[irwinw2010]

you are lucky not to get stuck in that thing.

[irwinw2010]

That arrow is missing did you notice that?

[g4tech]

it runs to keep the oil flowing and warm

[elevatorfreak112]

thats not good for that elevator it will over heat and give out

[RCM442]

Same thing happened to me today, it skipped three, and went back down to basement, and then back to 2, then 3! it's annoying, because nobody was calling it!

[nikivasquez]

Very Intersting but i wonder that why the elevator stop on every floor but is not supposed to stop on every floor it supposed to go down all the way to the first floor wich is the ground Level. The reason why the motor is running because so it can heat the oil so it can leveled property.

[oldtimefan]

elevators are awsome. i love having elevator fun. i have ridden a lot of dovers. but never one that is not working right.

[fletcherhf73]

I hate the Dover buzz on the indicator, it gives me a fright and hurts my ears, although some have a nice beep

[irwinw2010]

If you rode thysenn krupp elevators you would hate loud beeps.

[Tecwhizz]

Maybe 'good-for-nothing' yobs (Messed up teenagers, they are normally quite nice) called it at 2 & 1? Anyway, Maybe the motors starting up because of an error with the lift-to-motor control interface? It's telling the motor that the lift wants to move (When in actual fact it's not) and when the call button is pressed it finally becomes correct and says that the lift isn't moving! The doors close and the problem begins again.

[ElevatorsinLA]

Probably because of the elevator fan in the motor room

[redneckelevatorman]

Generally most modern hydraulic elevators have what is called viscosity which is a bypass function of the valve which allows oil to flow thru the pump and bypass section of the valve assembly.This is done to keep the hydraulic oil at operating temperature to aid in final leveling into the floor level.Oil temperature is the main cause of most intermittent leveling problems,as the oil heats up it expands.Viscosity removes cold oil leveling issues from the equation.Motor comes on to turn the pump.

[Arman88]

@redneckelevatorman Damn, you know your elevators, redneckelevatorman.

[burtonplanb]

arent u scared because u got stuck then u got back in ur crazy

[4564747]

fuck off steve

[333leney]

DIDJA GET OUT!!!

[megamagill]

good thing there is a fire station across the street! its a fire waiting to happen

[Rekcals25]

So this is some sort of homosexual elevator enthusiast video series?

[seanieb64]

So this is some sort of homosexual youtube video bashing series? Grow up.

[Rekcals25]

Your a silly billy.

[pcdoctor2]

Can we get an update on this elevator? Is the motor still running when it's stopped? Are they still doing lots of construction work on the parking garage?

[stevethemeave45]

The door did not open when you were at Ground level.

[4564747]

cos it went altomaticly

[revo8778]

It's like a car engine running in neutral.

[firehappy2008]

that is a fire waiting to happen!!!

[djFadeOut122]

and a waste of a lot of energy.

[georgef551]

That is weird, though. I never heard a hydraulic motor run when it's not moving.

f Railfan02 is right about THIS case, there's another big problem somewhere! That elevator does not have a constantly-running motor, like it does now (per older vids of this elevator).

========================

Shameless plug:

Me doing the Dover Buzz!

Search: "georgef551 dover buzz"

[Railfan02]

I'll tell you all why the motor runs while the elevator is not moving. It is to keep it level at whichever floor it's on. Since it's hydraulic, that means there is pressure to lose. If that pressure is lost, the elevator will go down below the level. The motor runs to avoid that.

[ElevatorMan2012]

This is so stupid of whoever from Dover installed this elevator. They should've made it traction in the first place. It's a 7-story parking garage, are they that stupid?

[elev8m8]

it did the same thing with the Dover at the Memorial Hospital CA the motor was on but it stayed in L1 I wonder why?

[myotismon767]

I've seen a couple of new Otis hydraulic elevators that do that. It sounds like they're about to go up but they don't go anywhere and all you hear is the hydraulic motor. I'd like to find out why they do that.

[eleljep]

I observed a 1996 Otis that does that. I smelled the motor from the elevator room burning. It stunk the first floor up.

[quadc74]

When it is moving, you cannot hear the motor. I can hear the motor from the ground floor of a 2007 Schindler and inside the car. That is the same thing with a Montgomery Elevator from the 1970s. I think they did fix it, a little.

[jimster586]

That is sometimes done to warm up the hydraulic oil.

[VancouversLocalNerd]

In the middle of the summer?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, I do like Dover elevators pretty good, but if the elevator motor is running when the elevator isn't going anywhere, it not only increases the chance of motor burnout, but it also wastes a huge amount of energy. So unless they fix the motor, they would come down with a huge electric bill.

[patricknedz]

But still I do like dover elevators

[roboman79]

Arn't the people who work there going to get made at you for playing with it?

I see the problem though.

[georgef551]

At least it's working (somewhat) right. If it don't get stuck, that's fine with me. Although if you know the management contact, you might want to give them a call/message.

[neaelevator]

I have observed a 2002 Schindler do that. When the door closed the motor would start up but the elevator never moved.
