- I don't think this has ever been seen online before but here is a detailed look at a ThyssenKrupp ISIS. PLEASE NOTE!! NEVER attempt ANYTHING you see here! This was done in a controlled environment with proper clearances. Sadly this elevator is no more however it lives on in the elevaTOURS elevator museum.

It's amazing that modern elevators don't need gigantic machines in a big room over the shaft any more. Just a tiny motor and some small gears at the top of the shaft. Awesome video DD!
Yeah. Elevator tech is amazing. Check out Thyssenkrupp's website and you will see they are developing a new elevator system called "MULTI"
Thanks for the in depth Thyssenkrupp Isis Elevator View, Diesel Ducy!
My Dad worked on elevators for almost 40 years. He always has very interesting stories to tell about his time as an elevator constructor. He retired from it five years ago, and now he works as an elevator inspector.

dieselducy: i will not be showing you how to do this
meanwhile the panel on the top: labeled with what each button does
Yep
I’m never been on the top of an elevator car before. I’m never ever going to go on a cartop of an elevator like I’ve seen in this video because I am very nice and smart! I will always ride the inside of the car where it’s much safer!
At my dads work they have a giant crane along the ceilings of these 2 buildings made for fish counting and loading of the fish truck (he works at the department of water resources fish facility) and the cranes have a remote and it runs similar to this. There are multiple speeds for leveling, except the cranes go both vertical and horizontal
That was really cool, and is awesome that you could give us a demonstration of this from the safety and comfort of our own home! If I wanted to do this, I would definitly want to do it safely and legally!
Same man
DieselDucy Is The State Inspector For Elevators
I need to be
hey DieselDucy i was working in a building on guard duty about a good distance away and i got to watch them build the elevator, it was very interesting to see and witness
as i RARELY watch your videos these days. (personal reasons). this had to be a required watch. I remember riding this a few times in 2014 and 2015. if only we could have ridden together.
+Appalachian Elevators it is being replaced by a schindler 330a
DieselDucy they could've installed a Schindler 3300 or a Schindler 5500 as a newer installation instead of a Schindler 330a
+Jordan Lowe ElevaTours Canada Agreed or a Schindler 3100.
That is awesome! Too bad this elevator was torn down. Even though ThyssenKrupp ISISs didn't have the best track record, they really weren't terrible elevators. And since they are so rare, they have become a treat to enthusiasts. I hope you got lots of good parts from this thing!
They tore this down?
RedLight GreenArrow This building is being reconfigured into apartments, and sadly this elevator was torn out. The freight elevator is coming out next.
That thing in the pit you called a computer is a ups ( universal power supply) more than likely. If they lose building power that ups will run the sump pump for awhile. 👍
Uninterruptible power supply*
@@KayvonJavid thank you for the comment MR. national electric code
that white "computer" in the pit is a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) for the sump pump. AKA a battery backup. Same type of thing that will keep your computer running in a power outage.
I was once hired as an apprentice elevator mechanic whooo! I lasted half a day on safety training day I kindly told management this was not for me and split, see I grew up in Los Angeles drop me off in Watts I'll do ok but have me build elevators in new construction and I'm a kitten in a tub full of cold water, that being said I commend you brother for your work.
Hey Dieselducy, thanks to your videos along with another access hoist way video, i was able to ride on the top of an elevator thanks to your inspiration. Unfortunately, i was later caught by local authorities but it was fully thanks to you on why this happened. I rode the elevator at full speed as well and was badly injured... the stuff we do to have a good time
if you're blaming dieselducy then its your fault idiot
not dieselducys fault. you ignored his warnings at the beginning of the video. he warned at the beginning of the video to not try this ever
You are probably making stuff up too about your riding in top and it's your fault 100% for the trouble you got into if it was true.
Another short-lived model produced by ThyssenKrupp was the Studio. However, unlike the ISIS, It was available as both a hydraulic and a traction.
yeah. It was a neat button.
@@DieselDucy I know where there's one.
Nicely done!
That sure seemed like a small motor in the pit.
14:18 That's a UPS. Not a computer
sadly this video probably got demonotised cause it has Isis in the title even through there is nothing about Isis in the video just a cool elevator
Kegan Otoole in the description it says to yt moderators that it is just the name of the elevator and is not affiliated with the group
Wow! I did not know that you could control the elevator from up there, because I did not know that it could be done! That was really interesting.
I'm surprised the ISIS elevator wasn't blowing up by now
I've installed many isis elevators with the Kevlar ropes, and then did a bunch of change outs, getting rid of the Kevlar ropes.
Awesome! and yes, Kevlar is not good for elevator hoisting.
This should never ever be done without authorization or proper clearances and training.
I get to go in the machine room when the new elevator is installed at my grandparents school this Summer. Before I get started, machine rooms are very dangerous places. This should never ever be done without authorization. If you do have authorization, don't touch anything. I know what I'm doing and I have the authorization to do this. This is for your entertainment only. So without further ado, enjoy.
Thanks, DieselDucy.
You’re welcome ☺️
Cool video! This elevator is a bottom-drive 2:1 MRL.
+DJJack 1229 yes it is
So are you a certified and licensed elevator tech as well, my work has 18 thyssen cars, super fast ones too.
lol one time my Dad took my sisters (who were 9 and 7 years old at the time) and I (16) for a tour at his work and he took us to the freight elevator pit in the building's sub basement. We were looking up into the shaft at the bottom of the freight elevator car.
Very interesting video. I've never seen the internals of one of these before.
The pastic pulleys are getting more and more common where I live as well.
This here might be the slowest inspection speed I've ever seen until now. Schindler in Europe uses a default of 0.3 m/s for their logics with VF drives (although some 5500s seem to be alot faster). With a simple 2-speed logic you obviously get levelling speed, although I've already seen an exception here (this lift was only moving 0.75m/s though). The fastest set inspection speed I've seen on a modern logic on a conventional traction elevator was 0.6m/s, while only going at 0.3m/s between the two bottom and the two top floors.
Regarding car top rides at full speed... I kindly point to the 1954 Otis video from December 2017. xD
I heard that you can set the inspection speed on some 5500s by pressing stop and pushing either direction button repeatedly many times, it will make it go faster. I did it before on a S5500 simulator. You should try!
@@elevator_satellite Ok that sounds interesting. Theoretically I could try it, but I don't have any use for it, since in case of a 5500 it could just be set in the CO-MX under the Speed/Accel settings. Or generally in any controller or VF drive.
@@TheLiftDragon True lol.
According to the user 22408aaron this elevator was replaced by a Schindler 330a
Yes that is correct.
If that white box was the main computer, that's an interesting choice of location. Flooding would kill that pretty quickly too. Looks like it might be more of a battery backup though. Looks very close to an old APC 1k (which were a huge pain in the butt to swap batteries out on.)
Its not the main computer
You don't have your steel toe shoes buddy!
health_and_safety.exe
3 years later
He could have had composite toe on. Much safer than metal in your shoes, around high voltage electricity
@DieselDucy This is the Yamato Harada EVO Center's lift but riding the lift is safe. *Except for the cartop ride!
This for some reason made me feel much safer about elevators even though I film them and know that they are safe.
1:23 As if none of us knew already. lol
1:51 I’m pretty sure it was either warm or cool in the building and the elevators in the fall and winter season
Yes. This building had no climate control
@@DieselDucy I would’ve brought a plug in fan and plugged it in on top of the elevator car top
I grew up around elevators. My uncle used to be an elevator technician. He's retired now but my uncle used to work on elevators.
AWESOME!
@@DieselDucy Yep. He showed me how to operate the fire service mode and showed me the machine room, hoist way, and pit. I was just in first grade when my uncle showed me the fire service operation.
The videos over. But it doesn't have to be. You can always watch more and you know what to do.
Did you know elevaTOURS Just did do the thyssenKrupp isis elevator
That is my channel
Andrew is not going to show us how, but then we always have Beno
03:16 Hard hat yeah that's really going to help!
Yet another reason not to go up there without proper training and clearances
At around 9:02 I see one or two orbs. I'm sure they are not part of your light. Orbs are souls without human bodies. I knew they inhabit elevator shafts.
dust particles
This was replaced with a 330a and moved. I have also been in a lift with an engineer but never attempted anything dangerous.
Yep! It has been replaced.
PLEASE NOTE IF YOU ARE THE Lift Engineer use the lift key thank you for your note...
correct.
I have a hat from the ISIS project and i get some funny looks from strangers hahaha only the other unions guys know so it’s funny.
LMAO
**Every compartment on isis elevator has a Glock22 and a AK47**
Oh god 😂😈😂😈😂
If only you said why they replaced the ropes lol have a few good stories from back then.
That is actually in The Habitat Store if you did not know that....
You should be an elevator mechanic! Also, normally when a variation of "do not attempt" is used, I would add "unless you want to" (that is suppose to be struckthrough, but stupid TH-cam doesn't use bbcode, so pretend!), but as you see in the video, I make my exception! If I wanted to do it, I would want to do it SAFELY AND LEGALLY!!! And elevator shafts are frickin' SCARY!!
Surrounding your text with hyphens will do strikethrough (this is a hyphen, in case you don't know: -).
Those inspection controls are look so much different than the fixtures in the UK, but the operation princple is the same to push both enable and up or enable and down. In the UK we have turn switches usually for Inspection/Normal instead of push for inspection here. Push to stop is pretty much the same. Also didnt see a door open switch / close here either.
Except that you have to first enable inspection service from inside the car with a special key. After that (The doors are still open) you can lower the elevator from a landing keyswitch to access the cartop.
In theory you could just send the car to the floor below and open the landing door with the drop key (Like we do in Europe) but I don't know if the cartop controls would be working without prior activation of the in-car "inspection service" keyswitch.
At this mall o go to they have a elevator shaft made of plexiglass so you can see everything!
do an eco disc next
\
if I can find somebody that will let me i will :)
Watch beno he does eco disks all the time
@@Ryan-wz4un He must work for Kone.
You should hit inspection switch before you step on the car . Shut hall doors then hit a hall call to see if your inspection switch h works
I've heard stories about people getting crushed in the top... why do they not build ceilings that are further up to allow a gap?
Really good video!
Cheers for that👍l only ask you last week for a look in the pit,,,,,thanks again and have fun
This fellow is not a licensed elevator contsructor. His knowledge is limited. It is amazing how cheaply made the elevator equipment is today compared to years back. I was an elevator technician, elevator contractor and licensed elevator inspector for 36 years, now retired.Then worked 10 years as a licensed elevator inspector. Otis used to sell these by the pound years ago and they lasted for ages. Not anymore!
Wow that thing looks like total junk. Plastic pulleys wow.
Hey Diesel, I swear the inspection ride sounds like the ropes are playing lazy guitar. This elevator is playing music!
I attempted it and I survived I also have proper training
He won't show you how to access a hoist way but there are of plenty of videos on this website showing you how to lol
But in all seriousness you shouldn't try to unless you know what you are doing and you have proper clearance
eatman980 yes you are correct you can even find and ask youtubers like beno and there is a article onnhow to surf a lift also!
Ah come on its not that dangerous
@@Ryan-wz4un its super dangerous
@@thesavagedog28t61 Exactly
why is it called an isis?!?!?!
If you open the controller it will bomb your brains
You really need to switch off your tv!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis_(disambiguation)
Possibly named after the river Isis in the UK?
Named by the goddess Isis
Actually not true you can look at the hoistway of a lift by looking up by where the doors are and you can see the shaft like you shown in one of your Carilion Parking Garage videos.
Yeah. You can see a bit assuming they don't have barriers that block your vision. You can also see the shaft and possibly pit from outside glass lifts. But these three scenarios are the only ones where uncertified people should see it.
hey dieselducy... i have an elevator in my house made by the waupaca elevator company and its a hydrollic elevator... i have been in the pit of mine and I also got to ride on the top while it was in service mode
What made this elevator last the length it did was the fact the ropes were replaced.
Yeah, there weren't any other mechanical design flaws as far as I know.
WestCoast Elevators WOAH!!!! I love your new channel icon/profile pic!!!! Very futuristic looking!!!
Floridian Elevators Thanks! I changed my channel art, video intro, and video outro too.
+WestCoast Elevators that's AMAZING channel art! One of the best I've seen :D!!
DanielMar 1228 Thank you!
I used to ride all the elevators in ocean City md.... Probably over 100 in a week
They have an Isis in the high school I go to ina. Few yesrs
you didnt have to show access beno lifts showed us
UK, and US elevators are different in that aspect. You need more than just the drop key with US elevators.
@@DatamasterCorporation not always
I've done it in a canton elevator with PAC west elevator mechanics and they let me ride on top
Hi DieselDucy its me AG.
2:28 why the heck do they have an AC outlet on top of the elevator? Like are you going to charge your phone on top of the elevator or something?
For power tools.
They took the elevator out!? They should have donated the cab, counterweight, and motor to the museum!
those ropes are strong. floor chime is about mid door.
That floor passing chime sounds like an Otis series 5
It does.
I have seen a pit of a glass elevator at the Saint Louis sinsce center
Also great job on this video love it!!!
As I can see in this and other videos, inspection speed is slow as hell in the US. Not the same in Europe where on some elevators that I have surfed the inspection speed is pretty much the same as the full speed of the one you showed in this video. Most elevators at least in my country and in the UK have pretty generous inspection speeds. And Yes I also surf at full speed when there's enough space at the top and when I think it's not too dangerous on that particular elevator.
(But just like BENO I don't ask for clearances before surfing elevators)
I did same …
inspection speed is well slow on that lift
Ima try this
I would not put the hydraulic pump in the pit. That's a very bad idea. Because do you know what happens if my grandparents school floods? The elevator is ruined.
Awesome video!
Great video!
I have a question why the people pushing the button repeatedly is the button light is on?
We have Thyssen here in our building and I must say, not a fan. Not blaming all you technicians but the ones assigned to our area just seem to only patch the problems. We all know the elevators are just too old and to me, kinda unsafe. I don't think they should move side to side a bit but thats just me
I know elevators have computers etc built into them. But how do you know exactly what to look at/ fix when it comes to one ?
RIP TK ISIS
Can anyone tell me what is a final limit switch for this elevator? And what it does.
very cool
if you are the technician servicing this one, don't you find it a bit annoying that you cant control your speed on service mode if having to service that regularly..lol?
its good what you are doing because you have got permission and clearance. people like Beno surf elevators/lifts without authorisation and gives genuine elevator enthusiasts a bad name. Don't get involved with Beno. he doesnt think about anyone but himself and is a accident waiting to happen and he is dicing with death. Beno whose real name is Ben rides car tops to get to secret forbidden floors and has been in trouble with security guards. Ben needs to pack it in. one thing people must never do and that is riding car tops without permission and clearance. If I ever see him doing what he is doing i will just inform security and police. Ben is also encouraging other people to do it by showing them how its done.
whatever you do dont get in with Ben and his group. you are my top favourite elevator filmer and you do things like surf car tops with authorisation, permission, and clearance. I'm a elevator/lift enthusiast myself and am planning to some day start a elevator/lift community.
I have aspergers syndrome like you do and I am also a christian and christ is important to me. Jesus comes first, neighbours second, and favourite things third. would love to meet you some day.
This elevator was replaced with a Schindler HT.
Yep :) video of new elevator coming soon!
@@DieselDucy And a nice one at that.
@@Ih8kone I love the new elevator :)
@@DieselDucy As do I :)
That computer that is in the pit is actually a battery backup device
Wow is that the standard inspection speed on the Isis or has it been altered most likely , molasses slow haha that was a fresh install wasn't fully tuned yet perhaps
I would never enter a shaft or do try anything (Unless I became an elevator repair tech of course), in this video, but I do have a question. Is it scary riding cartop? Also, how risky is riding this way for technicians? Seeing this video had me wondering this.
Also, Is the ThyssenKrupp Isis, Traction or Hydro type elevator?
It is VERY risky if you don't know what you are doing. I did not find it scary cause I have done it several times with technicians. For technicians, in inspection service it is not risky, HOWEVER at full speed it can be VERY dangerous. Also this is TRACTION.
Traction
Two questions: is the 2:1 a similar thing to how some theatrical counterweight systems are weighted - like when they don't have a full fly? How does one actually fit a new car and system into an existing shaft - is the car flatpack and built in the shaft effectively?
are both elevators getting ripped out? you should get the parts dieselducy
"Where did they get the name from?"
Here's a little story with no real answer.
In the early 2000's, When I was working for TKE, they sent me to Texas for training on tach20. They showed us the super secret ISIS that they were developing. I was not at all impressed with this piece of crap
I asked the engineer where they got the name from. He Had No Clue.
I told him I knew and he asked me what the name represented.
I responded "It IS what it IS"
He didn't find that too funny.
2:07 bottom drive ISIS?
I have a question, If someone was in a hydralic elevator and every saftey device failed, would the elevator car be crushed in to the roof?
+Harold Griswold the elevator will not travel any higher than the piston
Yeh It's Beno your talking about who surfs and trespasses lifts without permission DieselDucy never does things like that without permission
dieselducy would never do tgat
that*
your making it sound like it's a bad thing...
+chatterbox5412 It is better to do it without permission.
***** no it's bot
I like it
