I was in a Westinghouse service elevator once that served 28 floors and started leveling one floor before it reached the desired floor. Talk about leveling that takes forever!
Before it was modded, the Westy at 3 Park Street (Leominster, MA) would take about 2 minutes to travel up or down one floor. Apperently, it was at leveling speed full-time.
It's the replacement of their Oildraulic line. There are two hydraulic fluid options for it: Their standard petroleum-based biodegradable hydraulic fluid, and Their Enviromax biodegradable hydraulic fluid which is made out of canola seeds
Imagine the people who are calling the elevator from the outside and waiting so long while its doing this leveling? They might even think the elevator is broken.
Public- There is not an exit to 4th floor via Elevator or back steps. Get off elevator ----I at 3rd floor and walk up front steps. DO NOT use the steps next to the elevator. Thanks!
That is sort of strange the way it didn't take a long time to level when you called it.....the doors opened right away.... but when you guys were in it, it took forever to level..... I'd be a bit freaked out if I was in that elevator.... I'd take the stairs..
You are not the only one to have a bad experience with a square button US. I refused to use the 1974 square button US hydraulic elevator that was in May Co. in Westminster, CA from 1974 to 1998. It looked like something from a horror movie. It had dark wood doors with odd looking panels and a dark wood interior. The motor sounded like a semi truck.
EV Hambly I have been on one that is also a square button. It is a total death trap. I remembered when I was 6 when I rode it the first time, I really wanted to take the stairs. It has been low on oil since then. It has been low on oil for several years. And it is really creaky too. I think it really needs to be fixed.
if it happens again i think this needs a mod by Schindler to be MRL traction since I've been on an MRL traction 3x before on a trip and I haven't got stuck once!
:Taking D Floor:Personal Man:Are you Sure Want get Crash By Elevator??????Jake:Yes I want To get Crashing In Elevator....And You Get Horrible And GET A RESCUE:Warning The Elevators Are Getting Stuck:Personal Man:Oh no We are Getting Crash now Oh no!! HELP!!!!! Jake:HEY!! Don't worry The Lift Takes A Floor:Electric Are Breaking Free Personal Man:AAAHHHHH WE ARE GET CRASH BY ELEVATOR AM SCARED :The Elevators went to Broke:Jake:Wait WHAT!!! THE ELEVATORS CANNOT CRASH!! CMON....
Floor G, 00:40.81, Floor 1, 01:19.29!
That takes FOREVER to level.
(The times are the rates. Not the video point)
This has since been MODDED
Should have put the Jeopardy theme in while it was leveling
Yes 😁
😂 lol
Or the Price Is Right Horn when the elevator didn't open.
I think the most hilarious part of this video is when you said is it going to let us out? And right after you said that it let you out.

At a college in GA there's an old otis (modded by tk) that goes REALLY slow, because its ment to carry fragile stuff.
Awesome!
In the UK, some lifts (elevators) open one set of doors for some floors and the other set of doors for other floors
Yep same here.
@@DieselDucy Cool 🙂

Who modded it
@@Elevatorboy886 My guess would be Schindler, 1 of the only 2 elevators they have in my county (that I know of).
That white paper beside the elevator buttons is a passive-agressive note.
I know right?

At least it's not slipping and struggling, like the Major Taylor Garage ones do.
No, it is not low on oil. If it was low on oil, it would be bouncing while leveling on the top floor
first time hearing him laughing
Caution the Elevator at the Seattle Sound transit Tunnel and the Monorail Station does the same thing like this elevator.
I think that the relay for controlling the door is a bit stiff, it takes too long for it to hit the contact.
Thank you for these awesome videos
lol. That one beats the record! Actually, the elevaotr I respond with had some issues. it HAS a short levling, but a really long delay!
2:18 Caution: This elevator takes forever to level!
It was working better in 2020.
Please don't start another fight!
Sounds like the chime was replaced with Adams gong.

Can you show me the 4th floor in the next video?
now thats a nice elevator
Dieslducy guess what when you were in the elevator it was G 1 3 4 It passed two
The longest levelling I ever seen,more than 30 seconds
What about ThyssenKrupp Endura?
What made you think you were stuck?
It took forever to level.
@@DieselDucy oh yeah, I've been there before.
was that the collage that has the mass shooting in 2007?

Why Does It Need To Take that Long To Level?
Didn't this get modernized or something last year
Yes.
I been on a Dover like that.
Not necessarily true - some old elevators are speedy levelers.
Well, that was interesting. (Issue.) Wish I could find one of these US's.
0:56-1:33 so 37 seconds!
***** I agree with you that Schindler 330A sucks.
Nice idea.
Whats that note?
Time to level
00:40.94
01:18.91
Yep
Why did It take so long to Level?
Out of adjustment
Road trip 4 meet up?
They need to look at elevator
Modded
This elevator has been since modernized from what I've heard. :(
Well, it had to be modernized because it was a DEATH TRAP.
Mitsubishi elevators don't exist in South Africa.
3:03-4:19 so 1minute 16seconds
if it happens again i think this needs a mod by Schindler to be MRL traction since I've been on an MRL traction 3x before on a trip and I haven't got stuck once!
Clinton Township Lifts by MagicalLift256 MRL’s are garbage.
you was stuck!
Sadly, according to Jeff, this has since been modded :(
It has. I have been on it since.
@@DieselDucy That sucks.
That 4 stories
yep!
Agreed.
if you think your stuck ring the elevator alarm
Or push the emergency phone.
US ELEVATOR!
Hutcheson Hall Virginia Tech FIX YOUR ELEVATOR!!!
MEVEN, EVEN!!! ESCAPE THE ELEVATOR

Can you please explain to me the importance of that comment?

DEATH TRAP!!!
my friends sister goes to Virginia tech
Elevator Or stairs... Stairs

Well, it's just a glitch.
Schindler 3300 does not exist in America
