GIANT TKE hydraulic elevator with 3 speed center opening doors at IKEA (entry) in Ottawa ON

(📹 07/02/2023) WOW, this is the first time I've ever seen a three speed center opening door! Here is one of the MASSIVE TKE elevators at IKEA in Ottawa ON. This is the entry elevator. It is absolutely wide and huge! This also has the widest non-freight door I've seen. It requires two operators on the same side to move the panels due to how wide the doors are! It also has a nice motor too!
Also, this is the first video I've published that I've filmed in Canada from my Canada trip that's still ongoing.

The way you superimposed the text on the thumbnail makes it look like the text is on that wall!

[@dmvelevators]

Now that is huge

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

And also the widest non-freight door I've seen and the first three speed center opening I've seen

[@yolowolfyt]

Nice.

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

Definitely one of my coolest finds in Canada

[@Thecaliforniaelevatorchannel]

i think the strange bit is that one motor is dry powered and the other one is oildraulic. meaning there are 2 pistons

[@inactivechannel2938]

Danggg that things massivveee

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

Yep!

[@QuarioQuario54321]

Big elevator means massive motor

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

Very very true

[@QEElevators]

What tf I did NOT expect this to be submersible. Most likely a dual motor and pump setup.

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

I wasn't expecting that either

[@SG118P]

Is this brand new?

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

No, it's from 2011 or something like that

[@stateofeastdakotatours6662]

I've seen a LOT of big elevators, but this is just ridiculous. Should honestly be illegal.

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

Very true. All the elevators here have dual operator door setups (one moving one panel side open, but 2x that). Wait till you see the exit elevators, then that's just pure overkill (4x of this)

[@Trainman2024]

That is a 6 speed door!

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

Technically no, but I'll consider counting this as a six speed (because of course: 3 x 2 = 6)

[@DavidsElevatorsandmore]

I filmed this one to

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

Nice
