Dover Hydraulic Elevator at the Hyde Park Church Garage.

[Julian94518]

Never seen a parking garage at a church before. They are unusual

[CaptainElevator42189]

Indeed, and I guess this means that the church/religious installation is massive.

[nikivasquez]

Oh The same elevators at Maywood Academy High School because It pass two you could the realys.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Interesting.

[nikivasquez]

I could hear the clicks in the elevator very claerly.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, because of the relays and limit switches.

oh my gosh this is the elevator i got stuck in when i use to live in austin, i lived across the street in the apartments and would take this elevator to the top to play basketball. there was one day where i went in and press the button. and all of a sudden i got stuck in for like an hour and i thought iwas gonna die. but the guys got me out though it was pretty scary

[CaptainElevator42189]

Actually, due to security, that's not allowed.

[buginafugreturns]

What's not allowed due to security?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Well, many religious establishments are closed access, because of terrorism concerns and church shootings, which is a real shame.

[CaptainElevator42189]

I saw a ThyssenKrupp maintenance van parked in front of it.

[gluse]

It looks more like an Otis

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, but it might be an Otis that's serviced by ThyssenKrupp.

[9862671]

how did you know it was a dover

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, because I think it's maintained very well.

[harrihealey02]

That elevator sure is old, you can tell by the controll pannel, the buttons worne out but still it still works smoothly.

[Baytrail]

Can you do the Hyde Park Church elevator?

[CaptainElevator42189]

No. I just pressed level 1.

[Baytrail]

Did you hit another button during downtravel?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Probably because it's a big church, and they need adequate parking for the thousands of members.

[elevatorfan762]

The elevator buttons and floor indicator look like a Westinghouse to me.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Actually, a few months ago, I saw a ThyssenKrupp Elevator service van parked in front of that garage, and therefore, I realized that this was a Dover elevator. Also, the signal fixtures are of the Epco Designer series.

[Baytrail]

Why does a church need a 5-floor garage?

[CaptainElevator42189]

Thank you.

[cartoonyboy]

Very interesting!

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, it sure is, with over 10,000 members.

[crapper1]

must be a big church to have a parking garage
