Kone Traction Elevator at the Austin Whole Foods Market.

[KyFriedPlatypus]

My Brother recently began working at Whole Foods, but unfortunately, the location he works at doesn't have any elevators. :(

[CaptainElevator42189]

Sad, but I guess it's one of their 1-floor locations.

[danbel899]

Is this in a parking garage or inside of the whole foods?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Floors P3/P2/P1 are parking, S is the store, M is the mezzanine, and PL is the Plaza Level.

[danbel899]

@CaptainElevator42189 oh ok, so its all of the above, lol. cool.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Indeed.

[danbel899]

pretty fast. lol.

[CaptainElevator42189]

It certainly is for 6 floors.

[danbel899]

@CaptainElevator42189 heck ya. I love that elevator. :)

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, those are the Delta series fixtures, which are quite cool looking.

[tennisfreak2495]

Wow! Look at those fixtures! That's a first for those.

[CaptainElevator42189]

By gearless, I mean EcoSystemMR, because of the 300 FPM speed, and the 5000 lb. capacity.

[elevatorsonly]

WHOA!!!

[CaptainElevator42189]

That's correct.

[lfamily06]

More like a KONE Monospace.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Possibly.

[elevatorsonly]

GearLess Traction? NO WAY!!!!!! Geared Traction or MRL! A grocery store with 6 levels (because of P1, P2, and P3) can't be a sky-scraper! GearLess Tractions are used in Sky-Scrapers, while Geared Tractions and MRLs are used in other places!

[djFadeOut122]

usually MRL machines ARE gearless.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Not just usually, all MRL machines are indeed gearless.

[CaptainElevator42189]

The Plaza Level (PL) is the outdoor cafe and playground.

[Baytrail]

What is a plaza level?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Here's the floor legend:

P3-Lower Parking Level.

P2-Middle Parking Level.

P1-Upper Parking Level.

*S-Store/Main Floor.

M-Mezzanine.

PL-Plaza Level.

[Baytrail]

Can you post a floor legend in the description?

[CaptainElevator42189]

No. I was on P2 when I started, since the elevator was not used at the time.

[Elevator5519]

Were You On P3 When You Started The Video?

[CaptainElevator42189]

So I think these fixtures started out as the famous square button Montgomery Globe & Parallelogram fixtures, which became the Vector fixtures during the Twinkie M period, then the Series 220/Delta series from the Montgomery-Kone period from 1994-2006, and then the Kone KSS from 2006 to the present.

Fixtures identical to the garage elevators in Tysons Corner Center, also a 2004-KONE Traction

[CaptainElevator42189]

I didn't want to get caught by any workers, or have someone interrupt the elevator.

[Ih8escalators]

Why are you starting in the elevator?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Thanks.

[KWolfM]

Nice elevator!

[CaptainElevator42189]

Those are the Delta fixtures, which rivals with the Otis Series 3, ThyssenKrupp Aurora, and Schindler HT fixtures. These fixtures used square/round/oval/rectangular buttons with round/square Braille plates, round and arrow lenses with green/red illumination, and the faceplates came in all metal finishes.

[thyssenelevator95]

Nice elevator. I have never seen those fixtures before.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, and I think this is one of my most favorite Kone elevators.

[g4tech]

a very nice elevator a little creeky but still a nice KONE elevator

[CaptainElevator42189]

I guess so, and hopefully, they'll go with either the existing elevator, or a Kone EcoDisc elevator. Also, I think this is an EcoSystem MR traction elevator.

[patricknedz]
