Otis traction elevator P5 @ Mall Of America Bloomington MN

[MAST3RTYC00N]

Wow, that's big for a traction elevator in a mall. :D

[FGelevators]

like nobody pays attention to this one rather then the scenic elevators. the scenic ones r slow hydraulic and this is a huge traction elevator.

[dieselducy]

@FGelevators this one is one of the nicer elevators.

[kevintamls]

You use this elevator to do the elevator hack?

I wonder who owns this mall.

[TheZekethunder]

Why the bell?

[elevatorgeek762]

@TheZekethunder : Nudge mode.

That bitt is there to keep freight out of the passenger elevators.

[fireteen2008]

That's odd an Otis elevator with Fujitec buttons? and you could fit about like 4 Mini Coopers in that elevator

[Elevator5519]

I just rode in that today.

I'd hate to be one in a wheelchair. How can you get in this thing, with a giant pole in the middle of the opening? The poles could've been placed much better: farther back.

[KBilt92]

There is only a pole in front of the basement level door. The main levels are not blocked.

[georgef551]

I know it's there to keep the elderly from driving into the elevator, but it's not exactly ADA compliant.

[dieselducy]

it is there to stop loaders from using that elevator instead of the service elevator.

[georgef551]

Thanks! I still think there could've been better placement with a few extra poles to prevent loaders from getting through, but allow a wheelchair to use it. Three to be exact. Maybe one about 5 feet away (center), and 2 side ones at the door frame edges, about 2 feet out. Prevent loaders from using it, and wheelchair access. Either that, or it is wide enough, and just doesn't look it because of its massive size.

What do you mean somebody took a lighter to them?

[Superfrenzy24]

There are burn marks on the Call Cancel button.

[suzzex]

WHoa!

[CaptainElevator42189]

Nice elevator, and what was the capacity of this elevator?

[dieselducy]

10k lbs.

[CaptainElevator42189]

That's huge.

[busrailfan]

Nice one! The cleaner who entered the elvator as you were finishing up was probably like "What the??"! Again, nice vids!

[Elevator5519]

If the less used ones are traction, why are the busy ones slow hydraulic?!

[dieselducy]

it does not make any sense. if the main lifts were traction, it would greatly decrease wait times..

[Elevator5519]

Yes. Also, i have a video of some elevators there.
