[GHOSTGURUVJ0]

[MrUNIXman]

This lift was out of order when I looked at it, Probley closed due to health and Safety

[MrUNIXman]

Really it is a dangerous lift

[MrUNIXman]

hmm wonder if they elevator was meant for punishing criminals in the olden days with the use of the guillotine

[ANDREWWALLFORD123]

Bad elevator. Shouldn't replace for elevator system yet?

[MIKEMASTER1A]

Well should let them for elevator engineering man needs upgraded &re-installed with elevator. And include automantic eye held slide doors to entry and exit that will be safe. How bad elevator like pirhania plant elevator!!!!

[mrmattandmrchay]

Yes, this is quite bad really.

So what kind of door operator on there makes the doors slam when held open? Traditional lift door operators in the USA are opened by an arm that is linked to a wheel and a motor, and newer ones use belt drives. Otis used to make a model 7777 screw drive operator, too. Does this one use one big spring or what?

[mrmattandmrchay]

It would seem like it!! I've never seen anything like this before, and I found this by accident! - I had my foot in the door while I started movie mode from my phone!!

What that elevator is doing may actually be illegal under current eregulatioins,m it couild be the council should be informed.

[Meanmanmartin2007]

Brilliant video. Hope you don't mind me asking, is this one lift the only form of access down to the car park or are there some stairs or a second lift somewhere else?

[mrmattandmrchay]

I think there is a stairwell centrally in the car park that comes up between the shops - there is no lift here though.

As with most underground NCP car parks, you can also walk down the vehicle ramp into the car park, which is how I got in.

Well If Someone Put There Hand In The Middle Of The Doors They Would Get Injured When Slamming Like That

[mrmattandmrchay]

It only slams shut if you prevent the doors from shutting (hold them whilst they are closing). Normal closing doesn't do this.

If the doors closed on someone, then they would only slam when the obstruction is out the way of the doors (just keep your fingers clear).

This will be picked up and repaired on it's next maintenance check (!!!?)

[caputterz]

good video, the doors slamming shut was funny lol

[NEXPAR]

Hey, don't piss off that elevator.  LOL

[beavisPDBSK]

yeah. it will eat you :)
