Mitsubishi Hydraulic Lift/Elevator 2 三菱油壓式升降機2

Location: Car Park, Bauhinia Mansions (Site 11), Whampoa Garden, Hung Hom, Hong Kong

Capacity: 13 Persons/1000kg/2200lbs

Total floors covered: 4 (B2, B1, G, 1)

Year of commission: 1987

With the exception of the outside call buttons and the inside floor buttons, this lift composes entirely of typical Mitsubishi equipment of the early 1980s. The outside floor indicator is obviously symbolic of Mitsubishi.

The inside floor button panel (and possibly the outside call button panel) is probably tailor-made to order. It does not match too well with the rest of the control panel design which is typical of Mitsubishi in the early 1980s. The floor indicator is included in the control panel instead of located on top of the landing door. Some older Mitsubishi elevator models do not have individual interior floor indicators. Instead, the floor buttons act as the floor indicator, and light up according to which floor the lift is stopped at or going through, and not when a button is pressed to select a floor.

This is a hydraulic lift thus it features a bottom drive. You can hear the wet propulsion pump stopping as the car reaches the bottom floor. After the door has closed again and the top floor button is pressed, the sound of the propulsion pump starting up is clearly heard. This elevator possesses an automatic homing feature like Express lifts, in which the bottom floor button is automatically pressed when the car is at the other floors, in order to bring it back to the bottom floor when no one is operating it from inside or outside the car.

位置：香港紅磡黃埔花園紫荊苑（第11期）停車場

負載量：13人/1000公斤/2200磅

途徑樓層總數：4 (B2, B1, G, 1)

投入服務年份：1987

除了機外的啟動按鈕以及機內的樓層按鈕之外，這部機裝有的全部都是1980年代初的典型三菱設備，機外的樓層顯示器明顯是三菱的風格。

機內的樓層按鈕面板（亦可能包括機外的啟動按鈕面板）大可能是根據要求而裝設，並不太配合其餘整個典型1980年代初三菱的控制台設計。樓層顯示器是嵌入控制板面之內而非­位於機門上方。部份較舊型號的三菱電梯並不設獨立的機內樓層顯示器，而是由樓層按鈕充當樓層顯示，只會根據升降機正停靠或正經過的樓層，而不是按下按鈕選擇樓層而亮著。

此機是一部油壓式機種故機房位於井道底，當電梯抵達最底層時你會聽到驅動油泵停止；而在機門再關上後，按下頂層按鈕時，便清楚聽到驅動泵開動。這部電梯具有諸如捷運升降機­般的自動回泊功能：當沒有人在機內或機外開啟電梯時，底層按鈕會自動被按下，將機艙帶回最底層。

The reason these fixtures look so much older is because this is a "Service Elevator" by design. The one from your other video is a passenger elevator, right?

[bearchoirfan]

Right. The other one was installed later and had taken mainly passenger service into account. It was only later that those existing service models went into mainly passenger service.

Wow - that hall indicator looks kinda like a Dover/ThyssenKrupp one in America.

[bearchoirfan]

These are referred to as "Mahjong lights" by some Hong Kong elevator fans, as they resemble those tiles used in a traditional Chinese gambling game, Mahjong. In Hong Kong this indicator design is used normally on Japanese lift products like Mitsubishi, Hitachi or Toshiba. Never seen one in non-Asian counterparts.

The hall indicator.

[bearchoirfan]

Yes, I did mean it.

By the way, did you hear the driver pump starting up when seeing the top floor button being pressed in the video?

[musicfreakcc]

I did hear it.
