ThyssenKrupp Traction/Hydraulic TRACdraulic Elevator at Bernie and Phyl's Furniture.

Could you tell me the name of the track?

[yarsofpupae]

Nice elevator.

[georgef551]

No, this is a standard hydraulic.

I upped a video of it today, showing the piston going from the cab, into the ground.

TRACdraulic is short for Traction/Hydraulic, which means it is a hydraulic, with the speed of a traction

[georgef551]

Oh, sorry, this was a reply to someone else's comments, but went to you. Anyone saying hydraulics are slower:

(a) never saw my 25ft/min Meredith traction elevator video.

(b) never rode the hydraulic ones in Burbank Hospital, Fitchburg (main entrance).

Its A Thyssen Krupp The Indicator Has A Long Buzz And The Dover Has A Short Buzz

[cubsrule2040]

yeah

but I have seen a Dover elevator on the UNM campus with a long buzz

[seClip9]

Yep, fast as a traction elevator CaptainElevator42189.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Nice elevator, and it seems pretty fast for only 3 floors.

[elevatorsonly]

This is a Hydraulic "Tracdraulic" Elevator!

[CaptainElevator42189]

Is that the same as a roped hydraulic elevator?

[elevatorsonly]

Actually, it is the name for fast hydraulic elevators!

[cubsrule2040]

I don't think ThyssenKrupp makes roped hydraulic

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, because it goes at the speed of a traction elevator (150-200 FPM), even if it's hydraulic, and it's just like high altitude (50-100 feet tall) hydraulics being called "HIGHdraulic."

[cubsrule2040]

HIGHdraulic is what DieselDucy calls them. And this one is not HIGHdraulic.

I wonder if this one is holeless hydraulic since ThyssenKrupp makes those as well as in-ground

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, this is holeless, since it has 3 floors, and HIGHdraulic only comes in roped/holed configurations with 6-10 floors.

[cubsrule2040]

how come no company made hole-less HIGHdraulic elevators.

ThyssenKrupp should discontinue in-ground and make just hole-less and roped hydraulic

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, I think so, and so should Otis and Schindler. It's too bad that Kone discontinued hydraulic, including holeless and roped, but the highest holeless elevator was 4-5 floors.

[cubsrule2040]

i sugest writing to ThyssenKrupp and talking them into discontinuing in-ground hydraulic in favor of roped hydraulic.

[an65001]

Also, they should use biodegradable oil for the hydraulic elevator. But DO NOT DISCONTINUE HYDRAULIC! IT'S MY FAVORITE KIND OF ELEVATOR!

[elevatorsonly]

I disagree on the discontinuing part, but I would agree on the oil part.

[an65001]

Nah, nothing is more powerful then a hydraulic.

Tractions have more risks. NEVER is when ThyssenKrupp will discontinue hydros.

[elevatorsonly]

@an65001 Tractions have 1 risk. You are lying, and you have the same # of lies as Microsoft. (over 1 trillion)

[CaptainElevator42189]

I agree totally.
