- Firstly - no matter how many times I rode it, it DIDN'T get stuck! :( This is just a quick video that I edited, whilst I'm editing loads of others, sample of them shown in this video. See more here:
I was told "DON'T RIDE THE LIFT (or 'elevador') ON THE RIGHT' because it keeps getting stuck. In fact the contractor I was working with got stuck in it a couple of days before. It was turned off and a sticker covered the call button - "STOP - LIFT IS UNDER MAINTENANCE". It's soon to also be modernised. Everyone was to ONLY use the newly opened lift on the left instead.
The thing is, it's on my bucket list to get PROPERLY stuck in a lift. So the next day the sticker was still covering the call button, but the lift was SWITCHED BACK ON for some reason. PERFECT CHANCE, but no matter how many times I rode it, IT DIDN'T BREAK DOWN FOR ME :/
However, once the engineers were on lunch break, it gave me an opportunity to explore the unlocked motor room!
I have some complicated projects that I'm editing, which means that usually you don't see an upload from me...! So last night I edited this video in JUST 3 HOURS! That's a record time for me, as usually it takes 3 weeks or 3 months! (in my 'spare time' of course, not that I have much with everything else that's going on)
Admittedly, not one of my best videos, but whilst I'm editing the other larger projects, I thought I'd upload this one to give you something to watch!
Also notice the BELTS (left lift) replacing CABLES (right lift).
And don't you think that the new lift motor look like an OLD FASHIONED PHOTOGRAPHY CAMERA!?
COMING SOON:
1) HARRIHEALEY02
The return of HARRIHEALEY02! Harri started his channel even before me, in 2007. He had some excellent content, and we met up many times and found some really old lifts. Harri was known for somehow getting lifts stuck! Unfortunately, in about 2014 he accidentally deleted his account when he thought he was logged into a different account and, although he was still there, his account was renamed. Well, I've kept in contact with him for years and years now, we met up and did some filming!

*LIFT VIDEOS COMING SOON*
2) 1960s SCHINDLER LIFT
Me and Harri were given a whole afternoon of unrestricted filming of an old Schindler lift. We record 64GB worth of video. 5 CAMERA ANGLES. Man... this is a mamouth editing task! Sample at end of video.
3) VINTAGE HOTEL LIFT
Sample at end of video!

THE MRMATTANDMRCHAY CHANNEL, established 2009:
I'm passionate about uploading quality and interesting videos for YOU, my audience.
What is my channel about? "Old lift machinery made interesting", old air-raid sirens, prehistoric alarm equipment - things that I find fascinating and I hope you will too. If "I" don't find it interesting - IT DOESN'T GET UPLOADED!
I always spend a lot of time editing my videos with animations, video in-sync with music and voice overs to make them this way. I'm also a perfectionist!
My moto - "Quality NOT Quantity" - spending a month editing a video is not a rarity!
But without you, I'm nothing here. Thank you so much for watching.
...mrmattandmrchay is me (Matt) and my son Chay.
08:48, excellent startup sound.
Unmistakeably a Schindler!
Eu também gostei
I liked too!
So nice !!
A very nice video that shows an example of a new winch and an old one next to it. Although I do not appreciate the gearless winches, Schindler has at least made the effort to put it back in the machine room and I find it better than having it in shaft, I repeat it is a beautiful video.
Yes, and with that diverting 'sheave?' (looks more like a bar!) the belts can travel from middle to the side of the shaft for the counterweight. I bet most of their machines are for top of shaft mounting though (MRL)
All the new machines at Schindler are destined for MRL and unfortunately it's really sheaf!
If these lifts need fixing, why didn't the building owners shut it off? Anyways, a nice motor room tour. I can't wait to see the new videos.
Filmed in Portugal, I suspect. However, never seen such a botch job in my life. The Schindler lifts are crap, especially those with controllers from Rekoba. I've seen one such lift controller activating both up and down contactors at the same time! Bang! And the other lift sharing the same room exceeding the travel limit as well.
I think you right btw im from portugal
Welcome to Portugal, Matt! :-)
Thanks!
about the bucket list: I already managed to get myself stuck. That was when I received the inspection report for our lift, stating that the weight blocks on the cabin roof must be either removed or fixed. So I thought, let's have a look at these things. I opened the hatch in the cabin, sneaked through it and in fact saw those weight blocks. Bad idea, however, as the hatch as a security switch, which locks all lift functions, including opening the cabin doors. And that switch does not reset itself, after you close the hatch.
For a moment, I considered climbing onto the roof and free myself by bringing the lift into inspection mode. But I thought that I had done enough stupid things, that day, and the service needed to be called anyway to bring the lift back into normal operation.
So I pressed the alarm button and in order to avoid unnecessary cost for finding the fault, I immediately confessed to the technician what I did, which was a bit awkward.
So opening that hatch might be a good way to work on that bucket list of yours.
lol! Oh dear! Well, I suppose this is the easier way of getting stuck, but to me it doesn't count lol!
@@mrmattandmrchay Maybe, you are too strict to yourself.
When I was a kid, I pressed the lift call button, and a few seconds later, I heard a crash and ran!(early 90's it was at the time, probably was a 1980s or 70s hydraulic lift) No joke!!!
Yes! The vintage hotel lift! There is one of these in Melbourne, Australia. Sadly, non-operational. 😬
The "newer" one that was installed is approx. 70's vintage (I think).
love vintage lifts! This one was modded as isn't original, but it's vintage enough. Original motor. I'm working on it now.
Another mrmattandmrchay marsterpiece! Looking forward to those future uploads! :-)
Thanks! Indeed it is!
These elevators are in Portugal. The right one is a Grupnor, a portuguese brand that has quite a good number of lifts installed in Portugal.
I thought it was Brazilian but that's okay.
I remembered the Portuguese accent.
Yes, the cover over the hoist belts does resemble a focusing bellows from a large format camera or an very early fold out medium format camera.
Yep, that's the one I mean!
hmmm 3300 machine-room replacement it would seem, interesting the old lift lives on despite the new one being service
Actually it's the RH lift is out of service pending modernisation. The left one has just been completed. They are replacing them all in this block, but I don't know why they switched back on the old one.
I thought the new lift motor looked like a washing machine motor!
oh yes, you're right! It does look like one!
That sign are in Portuguese (my country) where is this?
i followed your channel and gave it some love.
Cool, thanks Ethan!
I’ve never been stuck in a lift before either, and since last week never broken anything either. I guess it has to happen at some point statistically. Last week I fell off my bike when commuting to work as it was slippery. I broke my left arm. For first time in 36 years I broke something🤕. So getting stuck in a lift well, someday it’s bound to happen? Things like these never come at a convenient moment.
That's not good. I've never broken anything either, but I've heard loads of stories that I'd rather forget from the other guys in our kickboxing class! Hope your arm heals soon - 6 weeks isn't it?
@@mrmattandmrchay Yes it should take about 6 weeks. The doctor gave me a sling, and after a week I can no do some basic physio exercises. The bone was broken below the shoulder, in my upper arm. I fell because it had frozen slightly and wasn't aware that the street was so slippery when I wanted to make a left hand turn. Also, I go reasonbly fast but all these years it went fine without accidents. Luckely I can use my right arm to control the mouse and type with one hand, but writing something on paper isn't possible as I'm left handed, but I learned since childhood to use the right for the mouse as my dad had this setup from day one. CAD work is difficult at the moment as it requires both hands so I let an apprentice operate the design software whilst I give instructions.
Touching that yellow wheel: the one pain that even god can’t stand
Elevadoe means....you're in Portugal! I was there for about two months because I worked in a cruise ship and we had a route to the Madeira and Azores islands once every two weeks. I went to Lisbon at one time (only once) and got the chance to ride the famous "Waygood" Santa Justa Lift from 1905!
Can't wait to see that Schindler wheel!
oh yes, just looked that one up. It's been filmed many times already on youtube, so the only way I'd go there is to film the motor room. There is already a video of the motor room, looks VERY interesting, but I think it was filmed by an elevator engineer. Very much doubt if they'd let me up there :(
Hi I love your channel
Hey thanks! I've been watching your channel and don't give up. Just enjoy filming stuff that YOU enjoy. Don't feel that you have to upload stuff regularly, it's better to wait until you have something. To become a youtuber with thousands or millions of subscribers takes a lot and sometimes a miracle. So you're not going to become a superstar overnight, but I like you for who you are. Keep up your interests and let me know if there is anything that I can help with. What youtube HAS done for you, is to get noticed. People that subscribe to you will have the same interests and perhaps the same age as you. Don't feel that you HAVE to get thousands of views per upload, because you don't, but it doesn't matter. BTW, are you interested in intruder alarm stuff? I know you like fire alarms, but what about intruder stuff? Send me a email sometime mattw.youtube@virginmedia.com
Very nice of you to come to Portugal. While I was watching some of your videos yesterday I was thinking, these guys never come to my country, and just now I saw a video of you here. What building was that you're in?
Me sentindo orgulhoso por ver o aviso escrito em português 🤤
what do you think is better? belt or original steel cable????
Interesting
What camera do you use?
I have LOADS of cameras now, some old some new. Mostly I use a GoPro7 black, but sometimes the audio is terrible! If I'm filming a lift where I need multiple views, then I use my GoPro and Sony HX90 side by side, then I can pick and choose the camera angle and audio during editing.
What would cause a lift to get stuck?
Simon Tay It could be anything really. A problem with the logic (more common with relay controlled lifts), a fault with a certain important part which can cause the whole lift to stop working. Sometimes the reason why a lift will trap you is for safety. Sometimes it will still be able to work, but it’s safer for it to stop.
@@Lift.Tracker Ah, thanks :)
I almoust gess, those elevators were in Tagus Park.That both elevators have almost 30 years of distance between technologies.
Are you ever going to come to Australia? We have some really nice old lifts here!
Oh, wow.... That is a Schindler Elevator
New Schindler SGB142 motor on the new mod
👍
É em Portugal, no elevador aparece o site da Schindler.pt que é de Portugal
Are you in Portugal??
yep, well, I was!
The new motor is like an MRL motor
yep, looks a bit like an old fashioned camera as well!
When will you post the video about slip ring motor?
done, it's here... th-cam.com/video/W1mee2uNFiE/w-d-xo.html
É no Brasil? As placas estão em Português!
Fiquei pensando nisso, é PT-BR com certeza
@LEGUCRO não ele filmou isso em portugal !
Para onde você foi dessa vez
That elevator at the end of the video looked like a car could fit inside.
Yes, it's quite big with very big doors. However, the wide angle view from my gopro might make it look bigger than it actually is :)
I miss the old intro.
Which one was that? Not the 'ropes' one where the mrmattandmrchay was in a box being hoisted up? (that was an old one). Send me a link to a video that contains intro that you mean?
@@mrmattandmrchay The one before the Russia trip, the old standby with the DING at the top.
@@lewiemcneely9143 You mean this one...? ... th-cam.com/video/ysLenmK3kKw/w-d-xo.html
@mrmattandmrchay I think he's referring to the previous music (in 2017) with same visual in this video.
I personally prefer the old music though
@@lewiemcneely9143Me too!
Why do you want to get stuck in one? Seems kind of irresponsible to make people have to come rescue you?
Good point but the lift engineers were on site in the building anyway
mods are annoying but ill give credit where its due because schindler has a really good intelligent leveling which is way better than really any other leveling.
All about health and safety, heh!
How old is the right elevator and the left elevator?
I can only guess.... LH is new, weeks or months old. Lift on RH possibly 2000?
This is a brazilian evator
What are those buttons, bcs i have the samé at home
sorry, I've no idea
Its ok
:)
Elevador
thats bad
Reason: Modernization
You did a mistake. Its elevator, not elevador!
th-cam.com/video/1Im7FgRylGQ/w-d-xo.html I'm in Portugal :)

@R D haha, I wish everyone would think like that, would give me millions of views lol
U spelled elevator wrong
6:44 I'm in Portugal - it's how it's spelt there
mrmattandmrchay oh why is it spelled like that
Albert J. Because it’s a different language.
And there’s a spelling error
Please let me know where...? :)
mrmattandmrchay - In the word “elevador.” It’s spelled elevator.
Hiya... yeah it's spelled like that on purpose because I'm in Portugal. Thats how they spell it there :)
@Evan Harcort Hi Evan, cool, thanks! What are your interests in life? (lifts for one, but what else?)
mrmattandmrchay - oh, ok.
