Otis Elevonic 411 high speed tractions at the Millenium Hilton Hotel in NYC

[SkylinesHD]

Can anyone just walk in there and hop in the elevators and go up to the top like that or do you have to be a traveler with a room?

I haven't worked for Otis in 10 yrs, I'm sure there is a service elevator there. These are probably 1000 - 1200 fpm. If there is an extra door its probably just to make the lobby more appealing.

When I worked on them they were 401 elevonics

@U81NOTME Wait, your an Otis mechanic. I'm wondering if you can tell me if this hotel has service elevators, and I was also wondering why there is 4 sets of elevator doors on the lobby and only 3 cabs serve the floors above the lobby.

[JonElevator]

Indeed

I have to get back to those for a re-take. Those are some of my favorites...very fast!

[JonElevator]

Yeah, I reccomend riding these again. These go about 1550 fpm, rocket high speed!

[JonElevator]

These are my favorite as well, smooth, quiet fast. Only the best from Otis.

This is a gearless traction elevator.

Geared traction can make only 2.5 m/s maximum.

Wow that's fast!

[JonElevator]

It sure is, about 1600 FPM!

[JonElevator]

[dea41396returns]
