I am also a lift technician .Now iam 73year old and worked in similar difficult positions from 1966 till 2005 .But no one consider it .Thank you for expressing it.
According the HDB’s standards perhaps they think they are old since they are approaching the end of HDB’s suggested lifespan of 28 years. But honestly, I think they can last longer than that. Newspaper articles from the past itself said the the lifts they built were meant to last 15 years, but they defied the odds with some old HDB lifts lasting over 40 years, and the Dakota ones for over 58. These just goes to show the built quality of mostly Japanese made lifts. With this I would say 20-25 years old lifts aren’t very old, perhaps fairly old only. It’s hard to believe many lift companies suggest replacing lifts that are 20 years old of age only! I would think unless if the lift is problematic it shouldn’t be replaced until it’s at least 30 years old. Even if at 30 years old and they are still running well, the most they’ll ever need is a modernisation. Maybe they might also possibly think they are old since they are slightly harder to maintain
Even Hong Kong public housing can afford Schindler, KONE and even ThyssenKrupp elevators on some estates. And surprisingly, they don't even use any China brand elevators like iFE, BLT, etc.
There are some elevators which are 100 years old still in service today. They were engineered to last. Even elevators from the 1950's and later are still in use with proper maintenance. While mods have been done i.e. with DC traction machines updating to SCR Drive from the MG sets, and microprocessor controllers, many still retain the original DC machines. Two years ago I visited an historic mansion in the PNW which still has the original Otis winding drum elevator installed in 1914. Semi-automatic operation doors are manually closed, has floor buttons and call buttons each floor
Yes. Some of the older elevator systems have lasted a long time but at times the replacement parts are getting harder to get. In that case elevator systems are having to be "remodeled" possibly with a new drive system as well as upgrading the controller which now days is computerized logic circuitry.
Wow, this amazing work with the elevator safety checks... Next time you need extra staff support with it together to make more improvement better than your own is... Oh dear, what is older enough to create some weak work with elevator maintenance it is, hey! 😯
Heard another challenge cited with newer lifts is that they're more likely to be machine room-less, with the motor & electronics moved to between the lift's guide rails at the top of the lift shaft. So to service them the technician has to balance him/herself on top of the lift car, where there's also less room to set down his/her various tools (due to other equipment on top of the lift car e.g. door motor) as compared to in a machine room
@@poteyatocheapp6978 Yeah well I can name plenty of examples, especially in the CBD, but also outside like at Junction 8 tower. Lifts age better than computers etc, 20 years isn't that old. Heck, One Raffles Place still has their original 1980s lifts and they are only getting modernised this year, after 34 years. And they are still in good condition regardless.

They are doing risky jobs for our convienence :) thanks
You are right uncle. Being active at an old age is much better than going around in malls able-bodied with mobility scooters 🤦🏻♂️
Don't judge them.

they may be old.but they are reliable lifts that do not breakdown frequently than the new chena crap lifts

@@იან thysenkrupp lifts are not a premium brand . Cheaper than kone and other brands
Arjun j menon Now even those big Brand’s are resorting to China made parts, so that’s the problem. Not just about generic

@@idl3k_elev I think Lift O matic and mitsubishi not to sure tho. OTIS is a premium brand?
....So much respect.

Uncle... respect!
I am so impressed. I doubt if I, a 15 year old, can stay in those conditions for such a long period of time. 👍👍👍👌👌👌
Come on 20-25 years isn't even that very old enough lah.
I don’t think 20-25 is that old... they can last longer
Thanks

Still works better than those new shit lifts that require maintenance every month

Elevator In HDB Can Be Working Every Day But Sometimes Elevator Can Breakdown Not Like Very Easy
Keep it up!
The guy says: you need a hand lamp, you got a lamp on your head
Pretty sure he meant work lamp attached to the cable run. Watch the video again. There's another light source. And its not the camera guy's light.
KONE tech staff can do 10 cars in one day...not sure if they really do the check or just signed off the service report. Good Luck.
Is like build 1980
250 Jurong East lift A very noisy
20-25 years is 'very old'?WTF? Then what do you consider lifts from the 60s to 80s?Dinosaurs?🤣
Stone age.
Imagine maintaing ur lifts in pristine condition for 25 years.
