Hitachi Touch-Sensitive Traction Elevators at Hotel Kunlun in Beijing, China

Filmed on May 21, 2018: Now these are some awesome elevators I have been on! Vief86mo has filmed these before. I love these touch buttons!!! :D Here we ride both glass and internal elevators, and the hotel is very nice as well. With that said, let's ride! :D Installed in 1986.

Looks pretty awesome! Almost looks like Otis touch

[@KaedeAnimation]

When Otis stopped making a touch-sensitive fixture in flavour of a Series 1 fixture, Hitachi got angry and make their own touch sensitive button.

[@JimLiElevators]

How do you know?

[@KaedeAnimation]

​@@JimLiElevators That's was an exaggerated joke lol. but Hitachi did make a Touch Sensitive Button after OTIS. the oldest one I see are from 1977 so I was wrong here also. the oldest Hitachi touch-sensitive I saw in Thailand was 1984 at the MBK Shopping Centre.

They're the same touch buttons like the Hitachi elevators at Koryo Hotel in Pyongyang, North Korea, except that the door open and close buttons are slightly different.

Now it has been modernized

They look like Otis touch sensitive buttons except the door open and close are not black buttons. The indicator is also digital.

Is hitatchi a Chinese brand/company? I havent seen any in the usa but i was surprised about the touch sensitive

[@JimLiElevators]

I think it’s a Japanese company just like Mitsubishi in Fujitec, but I can’t remember though.

[@ThePrasad_Diamond]

@@JimLiElevators is Japanese, and Toshiba as well.

[@TheBigA]
