Yes, I know that, and it's based on the building owner's preference.

@CaptainElevator42189 Even Otis, Schindler and KONE made plenty of ingrounds. I know I used to believe every Schindler was holeless, but then I went to Roosevelt Field and saw that every 300A and 330A was inground! (And there is like 13 of them!

Yes, and Montgomery Elevator too loved inground elevators. It was Otis who lead the holeless market in the 1990's, and then came Schindler and Kone in the 2000's.

@CaptainElevator42189 That's currently. I'm talking 2000 and earlier. A lot more elevators are inground then you think. We all know how Dover loved their ingrounds!

Yes, I know all of that, but nowadays, holeless is becoming more popular, because of environmental concerns.

@CaptainElevator42189 First of all, holeless hydraulic can only serve two floors. Telescoping holeless hydraulic can serve up to 4 floors. Also, 90% of the hydraulic elevator today are inground, so the 1980's statement doesn't make sense. Holeless hydraulic was invented in the 1980's though, but is nowhere as close to as common as inground hydraulics.
2100 lbs. capacity is such a Dover thing!

Yes, that is true, and even Otis is using this capacity. But Kone, ThyssenKrupp holeless, and independent brand elevators use the 2000 lb. capacity.

Yes, elevator and death trap never mix at all.
