Otis Hydraulic Elevator at Piedmont Fayette Hospital

[TheZekethunder]

Is this the top floor for all of the buildings in the hospital complex? I know definitely not the parking garage but very other building?

[Balarick]

that ending bump was the elevator hitting the low limit switch.

Did you see what somebody did in a video with the same name? It's even worse than copying it without permission.

Very beautiful.

if you travel on the Sydney trains all the elevators on the platform are hydraulic.

[bearchoirfan]

This was once considered a big advantage as by that time hydraulic lifts were cheaper to acquire and maintain. But nowadays machine-room-less traction models are beginning to subsitute hydraulics as they are becoming cheaper to acquire and yet they save much more electricity on operation.

Hydraulic elevators are still preferred here in the US. A 2-3 story traction elevator costs about twice as much as a similar hydraulic one.

[bearchoirfan]

But considering the costs of electricity consumed, tractions are sometimes preferred should the electrical bill rates go too high like the case in Hong Kong.

[musicfreakcc]

Here they're still cheaper, even in the long run.
