Montgomery hydraulic elevator @ Sears & Roebuck Mall of America Bloomington MN

[TheZekethunder]

These elevators were obviously modernized. There is an old indicator to the side of each elevator. Plus, the doors don't look like a Montgomery design. And, KONE has a very precise door close and it doesn't slam. These do. So, Montgomery I think was the brand before this.

lol

Those were vectors like bloomies before. what's up with floor 0. This is America.

[MrAirbuster57]

floor zero?

[TheZekethunder]

I was actually at the mall and the mall flooded completely and the East Broadway and South Avenue elevators were flooded and the shaft collapsed.

[dieselducy]

@TheZekethunder when did the mall flood??

[TheZekethunder]

@dieselducy The mall flooded in 2009.

[FGelevators]

@dieselducy i believe in 2008

This was modernized by KONE but I think the hydraulics are original. The cab is NOT from the 90's! It looks very modern.

Who still calls it Sears & Roebuck? Roebuck would  be mad, but they've simply been called Sears since 1970!

Montgomery modernized by KONE. Interesting floor "zero".

[dea41396returns]

I say Schindler

[suzzex]

This thing screams Montgomery. Someone else even said these were modernized due to a flood and were formal Twinkie-M's.

[dea41396returns]

I meant modernized by Schindler. Every department store elevator in MOA was installed by Montgomery Elevator Company

[owenhinton]

@suzzex no mr "i cant ____ ___" it is a monty and they used innovation for installation.

[SkyFitsHeaven24]

Floor "0"? Is that in the basement?

[Elevator5519]

No.

[chiefbozx]

@SkyFitsHeaven24 No, the numbers are one less than they should be. 0 is supposed to be 1, 1 is supposed to be 2 and 2 is supposed to be 3. There is a basement, but these elevators don't serve it.

[ElevatorMan2012]

Weird... Floor 0. Why didn't they make it 1-3?

[Elevator5519]

They modernized the elevator do to a flood in the store.

It used to be Montgomery Twinkie M.

[dea41396returns]

were the elevators flooded. Were the elevators COMPLETELY replaced?

[G1Ravage]

How can you ever truly be at zero?

[georgef551]

Mall of AMERICA, with a FLOOR ZERO? Really? Did we lose a war with the Euros that I missed hearing about?

....lol....

[elevatorsonly]

No. I guess Sears wanted it that way

[georgef551]

It was scarcasm.

Thought I'd let you know.
