Teban Gardens Residental HDB - Marryat & Scott Traction Elevator (Original, 1-door)

The wrecking ball's gonna come in 2 years to this block (under en-bloc scheme, or SERS), but for now this elevator still has to work. This is probably the original installation along with the fixtures. Elevators of this kind used to be very common in the Taman Jurong/Boon Lay district, but most of them have been replaced for good as you can see why in this video.

Technical specifications :
Floor served : 1, 4, 7, 10, 13
Manufacturer : Marryat & Scott (now Kone)
History : Original

***** 5-Stars death trap recommended : Die, Die, Must Try!

Why do you think it is a Marryat & Scott?

@benobve By comparing its fireman switch. The photo can be found on my website.

this elevator has the same type of door safety tab (the metallic door 'tongue') as the ones in Block 23 at Holland V and the ones at Jalan Bukit Merah. You can start grouping them together as Fiam or Sabiem, the former being the most likely

@justinpeng1998 I doubt its Fiam; Fiam tends to have their logo prominently shown, even at buttons. Blk 22 Holland V illustrates that. One engineer told me the traction motors are "Malescotti" equipment. (or pronunciation along those lines) Not sure what we can make from there.

'Malescotti'?..now that's something new..tell me more about it man

[mailerdiablo]

@justinpeng1998 I have no idea either, it's something new to me as well.

the shaking of your camera makes this elevator ride feel like those thrill-seeker types from theme parks :)

1986年Sabiem...

而家呢個品牌都仲喺度. 喺香港自90年代開始, 呢個品牌主要都裝喺公屋.

btw, do you see the shiny label above the floor indicator? i guess that could be the manufacturer's decal

[justinpeng1998]

just put this elevator's manufacturer as Fiam or Sabiem until further confirmation
