Dover HIGHDRAULIC Elevator at the Austin Heart Hospital Garage.

[elevatorsonly]

HIGHdraulic!

[CaptainElevator42189]

Since it has 7 floors.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Wow, that's amazing indeed, and thanks.

[liftdude]

13,000 video views!

[CaptainElevator42189]

Okay, I will.

[elevatorsaregreat]

Nice video.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, but DieselDucy calls them HIGHdraulic.

[doverelevatorrules]

Actually, a hydraulic for 7 or more floors would be a TALLdraulic

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, that was the elevator motor starting up on the other elevator, and it travelled around 2-3 floors.

[FanManLover]

You Know That Whirling Sound In The Backround Was That The Elevator Machine Starting Up?

[Iamzim9]

My grandma goes here for appointments, so I used to ride in this elevator all the time.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, but some older hydraulics served 8-9, maybe even 10 floors!

[schindlerman96]

10 floors for hydraulic isnt likely where i live most elevators where i live or other towns close by have traction elevators if there 5 floors or more

[CaptainElevator42189]

However, MusicFreakCC recorded a roped hydraulic elevator that he said had 13 floors!

[schindlerman96]

im suprised this is a hydraulic having seven floors

[CaptainElevator42189]

How amazing, but those are actually LED bulbs, since they scroll in one direction, rather than from one end of the indicator to the other. Also, on those hidden multi-light floor indicators, I've noticed some of the bulbs have burned out, or were really dim.

[crapper1]

one thing that suprised me is that its not led's on some its a plastic peice with holes to look like leds with a regular incandecent bulb for illumination a cheap but cool way to do an indicator

[CaptainElevator42189]

Actually, those are LED floor indicators, since LCD's at the time were expensive.

[starbucks95905]

Wow... a real LCD floor indicator. Haven't seen that yet on a Dover hydraulic elevator.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, I think this is a nice, quiet elevator, and can hold a lot of people.

[harrihealey02]

That is a big elevator and I like the quietness of this video usually the elevators are loud and disturbing thanks great video

[CaptainElevator42189]

Gee whiz, they should have gone with 2 ledges: lower ledge 1-4, and upper ledge 5-7.

[seClip9]

For faster traveling through floors?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, and taking up less space.

[crapper1]

they just made the numbers like that so they can have more ledges lol

[CaptainElevator42189]

That would be interesting, and I think 300 FPM would be ideal, since it would take 15 seconds in full travel, and would be useful for emergencies.

[Baytrail]

I'm saying that luckily there aren't 8 floors and 75 feet of travel.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, but even that type of travel distance is okay enough.

[Baytrail]

No no no no no. You don't get the point. I meant luckily there aren't 8 floors and 75 feet of travel with a 150 FPM elevator.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Then it would take 30 seconds to get from the top floor to the lower floor. Also, hydraulic elevators can't serve a high travel distance.

[Baytrail]

Now imagine if it was 75 feet with 8 floors and an KONE Ecospace.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, it's only 150 feet/minute, and it's too bad the EcoSpace doesn't come in 50, 100, and 200 feet/minute speeds, since those are the other alternative hydraulic elevator speeds.

[Baytrail]

I said "Oops" because Ecospace won't offer any speed improvement.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, but the EcoSpace can do up to 10 floors, while the MonoSpace can do 35 floors at higher speeds.

[Baytrail]

Oops. Yes Monospace.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Or maybe the Kone Monospace, Schindler 400A, or the ThyssenKrupp Synergy(recommended).

[Baytrail]

EcoSpace, not Monospace. EcoSpace is still traction.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Maybe even 300 feet/minute for 7 floors. So, that can be solved with geared or machine roomless traction.

[Baytrail]

Otis Gen2 would be awesome!

[Baytrail]

I recommend 250 ft/m?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, they could have gone with 200 feet/minute for these elevator, or maybe even traction elevators.

[Baytrail]

Slow slow slow.

[Baytrail]

I think you should keep giving a view of the elevator until 1 or 2 floors before the destination.

[thegrudge58]

kewl

[musicfreakcc]

Interesting; I have never before seen a Dover elevator with a directional arrow on the display.

[g4tech]

my school has that

[Baytrail]

This is no arrow. However if you type in "Elevator and Pop Machine Hack" then you'll see a Dover with an arrow. The user is g4tech.

[musicfreakcc]

I have never seen a hydraulic elevator go that high before.
