You may be refering to compensateing chains,that hang between the car and counterwaight thease are fitted to compensate for waight of suspension ropes as the car travels from top to bottom the waight of the ropes would be out of balence between car and counterwaight being shorter one side and longer the other side at terminal floors so chains keep the waight equal in the lenth of its travel

I've noticed in this shaft, as well in other shafts, along with the cables running from car top to counterweight is a chain running down on one side of the shaft. Always wondered what purpose the chain serves. Any elevator experts know?

@mrmattandmrchay it just hit me hard to see a modern elevator in and old shaft.

[MrLift35]

A great find.

Old doors.

New buttons.

Thank you a great video!

Very Rare find, especially in a shop like that

Glad to see this lift's still there! Although it's shame to see the buttons have been modernised. Brings back lots of memories of holidays to Dorset this one does.
