This is a very pretty elevator, but the clanging and banging would REALLY piss me off if I had to ride it very often. And the doorbell at the top and bottom... ugh!
@georgef551 I actually drew that connection right after I finished the video. Had I remembered, I probably would have mentioned that during the video. Just shows the EXCEPTIONAL quality of Kone hydros!
That is somewhat normal for door clutches. If it has an AMD2 door system then the clutch is not working right, and if it's a MAC system then the closing vane is improperly adjusted.
there is a really old elevator at the plainwell grainery in plainwell, mi. i think it is a kone but cant be sure

Yeah I agree, that is not a very nice elevator.

Funny, you'd expect these kinds of problems from a Schindler or ThyssenKrapp.

@pnwelevator Kone usually made crappy hydros, they only recently started getting good (the complete opposite of most companies).

The Bang at the top. I can't imagine a KONE hydro doing that. :)

You could probably slap a Schindler name tag on it, and nobody would be the wiser.
