[someguy120100]

@elevatorman191 you haven't seen anything yet comparing to the gen 2 at where my uncle use to work

Hydraulic or traction?

[Kira1106]

Hydraulic Elevator w/GEN2 Voice.

[mintz515]

@elevatorgeek762 bottom-drive traction

Is this a GEN2 like the other elevators there?

[Kira1106]

There are some GEN2's on The Rise in Vancouver. And also the Pacific Rim.

@VancouversLocalNerd I think this is a traction. It's so big it's probably geared 4:1 which is why it's so slow.

@VancouversLocalNerd  Gen2 is NOT hydraulic!!!

OTIS rarely does a big, freight-spec installation like that, especially w/ Home Depot. I would have expected a Schindler.
