Schindler Hydraulic Elevators at the Dell Children's Hospital Administrative Office Building.

[elevatorsonly]

Why was there a farting noise when the indicator changed from 1 to 2?

[CaptainElevator42189]

No, it was the protective panel being pulled back.

[CaptainElevator42189]

No wonder this elevator is so slow for 4 floors.

[suzzex]

LOL! The valves are broken on this elevator! YAY 330A!!!

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, and 125-150 FPM is better for 4 floors.

[schindlerman96]

75 FPM is better for like mall elevators that are only 2 floors

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, for 4 floors, I would use about 150 FPM.

[patricknedz]

very slow elevator

[CaptainElevator42189]

Interesting, but this is named after the Dell family, who are very involved in charity work.

[dontwalkhand]

Dell owns a hospital now? Why not Apple ;) jk.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, this is just for moving use when it comes to the pads, but maybe I'll retake it without the panels, when normal business starts up.

1. The padding is coming off the walls.

2. Unacceptable 1-2 time.

3. Creaky rails.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, it is slow, and they could have gone faster, like 150-200 FPM, and use a traction elevator instead.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, but at least it made me look at the real walls.

[pcdoctor2]

Looks like the padding is poorly installed on those walls.

[CaptainElevator42189]

That's not carpet, those are cab wall protection pads, which prevent the walls from being damaged, and yes, traction elevators are more efficient than hydraulic.

[flushshit]

WTF? Why is there a carpet inside the elevator? Also traction aren't traction elevators more energy efficient than a hydraulic?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Or better yet, they can use windows, but use a 400A traction elevator, just like the garage.

[Baytrail]

They should put glass doors and glass windows on the Schindler 330A's to show how slow they are.

[schindlerman96]

i agree baytrail

[CaptainElevator42189]

I have no idea why they went with a hydraulic, yet the garage is traction. They always think hydraulics are cheaper, but they're more expensive.

[Baytrail]

If the Dell Children's Hospital can get a traction and the LSC has a 2-floor Schindler 400A, why couldn't this be traction?

[CaptainElevator42189]

No, it was me pulling back the protection pad on the car station to show the floor indicator.

[Ih8escalators]

Was that afart before it started to move

[CaptainElevator42189]

It sure is, and 150-200 FPM would be more suitable for 4 floors.

[jack9547]

way too slow for 4 floors!

[CaptainElevator42189]

The slowest speed for Schindler is now 100 FPM, even though it feels very slow.

[thyssenelevator95]

I didn't know you could get 75 fpm elevators anymore.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Well, the elevator is still in "construction" mode, where they move into the building, and that's why the elevator has the wall panels. In addition, I don't know why they went with a hydraulic, instead of traction, like the garage, and use 150-200 FPM speed.

[g4tech]

slow one why is the indicator covered
