Slow Otis Traction Service/Freight Elevator @ Park Tower - Chicago, IL

(7-1-18) Here is the other service elevator in the Park Tower building. This one is on the same controller as smaller service elevator, but it is so much slower because this one is used as the freight elevator. You can see there is a large opening in the ceiling to fit larger items inside the elevator.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a PRIVATE residential building, so please do not be going into it to film the elevators without permission.

That's in surprisingly remarkable shape for it being a service elevator

[@stlelevators]

It really is. This is the one that is used for moving too.

Oh if only it was scenic! 😅

Not to be confused with the other Park Tower in Chicago, which always has cookies in the lobby that I definitely did not eat 12 of one time.

[@BostonElevatorDude]

A Compass would do well here.

[@over.4262]

Holy god those buttons..

[@stlelevators]

A wall of buttons!

[@blueauraretriever]

It's a little slow but not bad at all

[@TXMNElevators]

Even though that's a freight, that's waaaaay too slow...…...

slow high rise elevator: oof

Jason will you have a meetup with nw Indiana elevators the one who is always in a wheelchair

[@stlelevators]

I already did

[@matthewlindstrom8728]

Does the fright elevator have a fright door

[@stlelevators]

no

[@iloveclocks3988]

That thing only goes 3 mph

[@Dana_Danarosana]

I delivered pizzas many years ago and we had to use service elevators. That thing would've been irritating during the days when Domino's guaranteed 30 minute delivery or it was free!!

[@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty]

Think on the bright side: At least you wouldn't have gone hungry if you had gotten stuck!

[@stlelevators]

Apparently a windy day can knock these things out of service

[@Dana_Danarosana]

@@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty Ha ha... As much as I like pizza, I can honestly say that I never said "Oh yeah... PIZZA!!" during my delivery days. When your car, clothes, hair, etc. smell like pizza 24/7, it looses its appeal. :-)

[@zierewolfo46]

Why make the freight slower than the service elevator? I’d be more logical to just use the service elevator.

[@krisc5382]

They're geared lower for the excessive weight they are designed to haul.

[@SixSilverStones]

That is a LOT of buttons

[@stlelevators]

Yeah!

[@seherersoy86]

Slow this is otis elevator 6

[@Jamestube8439]

Way too slow, with that many floors, it should go much faster.

[@stlelevators]

The other car connected on the same controller is much faster!

[@Jamestube8439]

@@stlelevators Well, that's kind of weird, do you have any ideas why it's slower?

[@stlelevators]

My only guess is it’s geared for more power but the capacity is the same.

[@Jamestube8439]

@@stlelevators Ok, thanks for replying, I appreciate the feedback.

[@ThePrasad_Diamond]

@@Jamestube8439 That answer is actually not accurate, considering it's a freight elevator which stops on every single floor of the building, going faster can be a bit dangerous, especially when traveling with very heavy stuff and such faster speeds can make the said freight elevators difficult to withstand tougher working conditions.
