Can u plz retake this for me and if you don't mind, can you say that I requested the video? thanks much..

[thyssenelevator95]

@dieselducy No problem. The next time I am up there and have time I will get a retake.

[DoverElevators]

Who is maintaining these now??

[thyssenelevator95]

@DoverElevators Hadfield Elevator maintains this one along with their elevator, the Schindler/Westinghouse elevator in the Medical Office Building, and the other 1979 Otis elevators. Marshall has the school of nursing elevator, surgery building elevators, and the new one in the medical office. Otis has the ones in the south wing, installed in 1993.

I think dieselducy filmed this and gave away the name of this hospital.

I might try to get permission to film the freight elevators at UMC El Paso considering the fact that i volunteer there.

@DoverElevators Which ones have you worked with (the elevators)?

[DoverElevators]

@thyssenelevator95 I have delt with these elevators before. I'd really prefer to leave the name of my company private but it is one of those you mentioned..

[thyssenelevator95]

@DoverElevators Have you worked on these elevators before? Do you work for Hadfield, Marshall, Otis, or Schindler? They all work on elevators here.
