They are actually Marryat and Scott lifts before they were modernised! Only the buttons and interiors were changed and they were given H+C branding but that is just who modernised them. They were pretty horrible before the refurb (typical '70s car park lifts - i.e. dark, dingy and stank of p**s) if my childhood memory serves me correctly. The lifts themselves date from 1977 (when the car park was built) but the refurbishment was in 1997-98 roughly. Hope that helps. (PS if you want to ride a "real" H+C go to the Queen Elizabeth Building (Ward 60-67 block) in Glasgow Royal Infirmary....the public lifts have been modernised as Thyssen but last time I was there the non-public lifts were still in their original state with the old style H+C / Dover car and landing stations) Take it from a local lad who remembers them in their original state (yes I love that motor sound too it's awesome)
you really do know a lot about the history of glasgow's lifts! Sounds like Glasgow was once Marryat-Scott land before a ton of mods happened XD I would assume Cambridge Street Car Park dates from around the same time as the lifts there are almost the same except single speed
@@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL when I was a teenager I was a serial lift enthusiast. Got to learn about all the buildings you could sneak into and steal a ride without being caught
@@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL Cambridge Street was built 5 years before in 1972 and has Ellis & McDougall single speeders but these got the same upgrade by H+C around the same time as Concert Square
Jim Woodward done these also as well as me and you, and he reckons they're 1999. Almost certain these are a mod though, as the "Stand clear of the doors" voice is also used on many, many Thyssen lifts. Would make sense too - Thyssen bought over H&C. A guy on the "lift engineer" facebook page says the machine up there is a Bull Motor driven 2-speed (you can tell by the wonderful thumps and burps from the motor!) I'm told it's early TVC logic.
If I revisit these lifts in the future I'll cover the speakers with my hand as much as possible so it doesn't completely drown out the epic motor with FLOOR FOUR
I'd go L5.25 - needs something other than dewhurst to bring it closer to L6 although to be fair US89 is one of the better lines in terms of build quality and it feels older and better built when you press it if you know what i mean

@@kevinmurphy-steele5055 niceee! What would you say is the best lift you ever came across while you were really into the lift enthusiasm?

@@kevinmurphy-steele5055 ah ok, thx for the info on that :D
YES - about time you done this! :D
:D
Awesome video ZZ9. Epic lift
thx! :D
ZZ9 Productions 6 subs and you’re at 1000
@@southern.spotter u sure about that XD there's no way i've gained 90 subs today
ZZ9 Productions Oof there was a glitch. Earlier it said 994 xD
@@southern.spotter if only that was an accurate figure XD
I enjoy DC P AC lifts, especially the Jensens one in Whipps Cross, the motion and sounds suit that lift there.
nice!
@@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL Yeyeah.

would need to find out when the car park was built to know if it is a mod or not
STAND CLEAR OF THE DAWRS. FLAWR FOUR. DAWRS AUPENING. (Good video XD)
XD
Nice lift, nice video!
thx!
Awesome video! I sadly haven't seen a H&C lift yet sadly :(
i'm sure you'll find one at some point :)
Thx everyone for 900 subs!
You're welcome
Well deserved. 👍
I like that voice.
STAND CLEAR OF THE DOORS.
“Let’s be quiet so we can hear the motor”
“ FLOOR 4!!”
Yeah the lift didn't obey my request XD
If I revisit these lifts in the future I'll cover the speakers with my hand as much as possible so it doesn't completely drown out the epic motor with FLOOR FOUR
Freaking Epic lift
it really is something special with that motor XD
Wonder what people think is the best elevator voice; I personally like the Oxley Station/Robin Hood Gardens voice.
suppose it would be different for everyone
This lift is
Foxorolos lift ranking
L6 - exeptional
L5 - great
L4 - good
L3 - OK
L2 - I don't like it
L1 - I HATE IT
so this lift is an L3.
only an L3?
maybe L4
For me it’s L6 all the way
I'd go L5.25 - needs something other than dewhurst to bring it closer to L6 although to be fair US89 is one of the better lines in terms of build quality and it feels older and better built when you press it if you know what i mean
ZZ9 Productions yeah
I think this could be the first comment....
i would play the game if i wasn't fuming at F1 2019 being broken rn, but yes it is the first comment
@@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL Also I uploaded the video of the 4mps eco discs (wow autocorrect, really)
@@LIFTEXCELSIOROfficial override the autocorrect XD
