A library in my childhood town had a ThyssenKrupp Impulse that has a motor SO LOUD, the staff tried their best to try and reduce as many rides as possible! It wasn’t low on oil or anything, but it was a TERRIBLE type of motor as it vibrates the entire building and makes the lights flicker when it starts going up. The elevator itself was in pretty decent condition tho
I’m honestly very surprised how it was still in service after the last shot because this was horrible! Great video! I bet if my brother rode this, he’d be scared out of his mind, I’d be scared out of my mind honestly
Now that it's 2 years later, how is this elevator holding up? And when it was low on fluid (in a rather misbehaving manner), did you by any chance report this elevator problem to anyone, so they could have it replaced?
Wish I could of seen the machine room or at least hear it when its low on oil. When it reached floor M and 2 it was probably bone dry. Also maybe there's an oil leak in the line or the piston.
I wondered what the hydraulic machine looks like during this. Especially the oil tank. Must of been bone dry as at reached the top. Also it must have a bad oil leak if it's that low on oil!
What were the 2 key switches below the fire cabinet? Also interesting that there's no door close button, is there a door close button in the fire cabinet, or do they have to hold the button to close the door.
Another Newer Series 5 that is LOW ON OIL!! Like the Public Storage Place in New York. AWESOME CAVITATION!! Hey Jowevator3219, I think this one beats the Dover Impulse Elevator at a Garage in Sacramento, California. This one's lower 😂😂 This is the LOW ON OIL #1 FIRST PLACE!!
@LittleRockElevators I remembered when i was in a airport in south bend when the elevator somehow fixed and loose oil... They never fix this thing and they need to mod this thing because krupy mods are good for me.
So those last couple times, the oil would affect the elevator starting at M. Is the distance between M and 2 the same as the other floors? It looks like it was a whole floor low.
Well you know the elevator is sounds really good but once you reach level M hold on tight! You’re in for an earthquake! That is so bad and poorly maintained it is unbelievable!
Maybe there's a leaking hydraulic cylinder jack and the library don't care to go through the expense of replacing the hydraulics, and just has more oil added every once in a while when they get complaints of it.
It's sill there, was over there 3 months ago and it's still there, likely not going anywhere since it's still getting new stores and a apartment on the property where Sears was.
@@LocoRails79 Oh. So maybe they are some type of otis lantern which matches the epco lanterns except on the epco lantern is green for up and red for down.
This.....this is.... AMAZING!
Hi
@@dollsandcats1597 hello
Jowevator 3219 we figured you’d like it :D
Agreed
Time for an oil change! Hope it's under 36k miles.
Probably so, considering it’s an OTIS from the post Lexan era.
It's elevaTERROR time!

@@stlelevators Either the starter or the motor was on its last leg, drawling way higher amperage than it should

Yeah it took them long enough to get out and fix it.
That Rumbling Noise Was Epic
5:15 I LOVE that !! I would love have a ride on a low on oil elevator a day.
Wow, that is terrible that is the new record for low on oil elevators, guess that one is hydraulic and airdraulic.
It's the worst I've ever seen anywhere.
@@stlelevators Yeah especially since it doesn't have enough oil for a full ride to floor 2
What school is this?
at the first one i was like "woah!" but by the final take before it got fixed i was like "HOW IS THIS THING NOT OUT OF SERVICE ALREADY?!?!?!?!??!?"
@Safety Breaks, Lifts,Skyscraper Sim & More XD
Now that it's 2 years later, how is this elevator holding up? And when it was low on fluid (in a rather misbehaving manner), did you by any chance report this elevator problem to anyone, so they could have it replaced?
I have not ridden it since I moved onto another school. They did fix it in the end, so my guess is it's running like normal.
This is my first Otis Series 5 elevator is low on oil I ever heard! :D
Me too. This was crazy.
Wish I could of seen the machine room or at least hear it when its low on oil. When it reached floor M and 2 it was probably bone dry. Also maybe there's an oil leak in the line or the piston.

Looks new. It's always funny to mess with a series 5.
It's from 2012.
My high school had a series 5 with the outer number indication on all floors
I make that noise when i run out of Mountain Dew during the day...
LOL
LMFAO
XD
LOL
ROFL
Am I the only one who loves series 5 chimes
Nope
+JBush
Far from it.
I like them too.
J Bush I have a Series 5 at my School 😂😂 it's older tho
J Bush series 5 chimes definitely have my approval
We all know who will like this
Justin :)
hehehehehehe
+TXMNElevators lmao
And many more
TXMN Elevators Of course and so do I!!
Yep I can definitely see him loving this video
Well someone screwed up if they waited a week to finally put oil in the darn thing!! Hopefully nobody got stuck in there before they fixed it...
I don’t think anyone got stuck, but it must have scared some people!
I can't believe this. At least it got fixed.
I wondered what the hydraulic machine looks like during this. Especially the oil tank. Must of been bone dry as at reached the top. Also it must have a bad oil leak if it's that low on oil!
Not bone dry as the pump doesn’t take in the oil from the bottom, but I bet the impeller would be splashing oil *EVERYWHERE!*
What were the 2 key switches below the fire cabinet? Also interesting that there's no door close button, is there a door close button in the fire cabinet, or do they have to hold the button to close the door.
Light and inspection. There is a door close button inside the fire service cabinet.
@@stlelevators Ok, that would make sense, I wonder if it would work in regular service.
Nah, that’s just me in the bathroom next to the elevator after eating taco bell
But there’s not a bathroom by the elevator.... 🤔
Oh fuck did I poop in the closet again
Go use the elevator with a toilet inside lol
tkefan29 Like the Vintage Salem Freight Elevator
Taco Bell in a nutshell XD

And I thought the Major Taylor parking garage was bad
Major Taylor isn’t THAT bad LOL
Great video!
Thanks!
What do they do in the tech building, Techy stuff, electronics?
Yep :P
@@stlelevators does this school have a website?

M and 2 are only about 8-10 steps apart.
@@stlelevators So is that normal height for a floor or is it shorter than others?
@@clayhouseholder9309 Shorter
Nice cab! Quite low on oil!
What typically causes an elevator to be low on oil
Did you notify the school about it?
They fixed it in the end.
That elevator is REALLY REALLY LOW ON OIL!
I agree
I love this one, I One I haven’t seen a low on oil elevator in my whole tire life
Good thing it wasn't you who got stuck. 😂
Worse then the dover elevator at Howard Johnson in Salem VA?
Way worse
What does M stand for?
Where was this located? St Louis?
There's a really good clue in the video actually... (it's Saturday... here's a little adventure for you...)
Someone replied to you, UltraEric-style.
Well you know the elevator is sounds really good but once you reach level M hold on tight! You’re in for an earthquake! That is so bad and poorly maintained it is unbelievable!
At least it’s fixed now.
STL Elevators yep, but they could’ve at least fixed it a little sooner before it got that bad
5:16 is literally my grades halfway though the school year.
LOW ON OIL!!
This thing was insanely low on oil.
5:15 That sounded like it was about to start a fire! Was it sucking in air?
Yes it was sucking air.
EPIC MOTOR!
yknow except the low oil noises, those are severely unpleasant
It has the typical sounding motor for this type of elevator.
Glad a fan didn't ruin it!
Me too!
Your school library has multiple floors?
It has 2.
Might be something to be low on oil and it was shaking..
everytime i rode one in sears it was extremly low on oil
@dieselducy, how do you think that elevator is horribly bad shape
Time to replace it with a Gen2 FRIRND!!!!!
Even better yet, a Gen2 MR!
@@OPG2711 mrls good LOL
But that costs money xD
More than it should.
KONE Eco Disc
I do not like how the elevator has to suffer like this being on low on oil.
Yep
That jack must have one hell of a leak.
Maybe there's a leaking hydraulic cylinder jack and the library don't care to go through the expense of replacing the hydraulics, and just has more oil added every once in a while when they get complaints of it.
That's always possible.
Everybody gangsta until elevator starts to be a bathroom that comes right out of Taco Bell
Edit: Taco Bell be like:
series 5? regular lantern?
Oh man, that thing sounds terrible! the elevator itself is quite nice though.
It is a nice elevator. This was the only issue I ever saw with it.
around the 7:30 mark in the video I am suprised it made it all the way up. I sure didn't think it was going to
That pump was ready to stop working...
@Awesome Will They can only do that if the pump breaks beyond repair.
The machine room wouldn’t happen to be outside would it??
No it’s inside.
Is it a hydrofit
Oh a MRL hydraulic? There is a access door to the shaft where the power unit and pump is!
@@qeelevators2960 There is no such thing as MRL Hydraulic
@@mickeyandminnieproductions6574 yes there is
Woah did you felt that?
I felt it... it was very rough.
@@stlelevators This elevator does need some help
Epic motor... Fail?!
OH dear
That Elevator was Rumbley and Shakey
It has been fixed.
Was this always an Otis?
Yes
@@stlelevators Is this original?
Yes
@@stlelevators who maintains this?
@@Elevatorboy886 Otis I believe
I think that's an otis series 5
Ah Otis Series 5 + evil red lantern = C R I T I C A L L Y L O W O N O I L lol
I make that same noise when I run out of Mountain Dew during the day…
That Was A Big Jolt Going Down And It Scares Me
This thing is running a lot better now.
So It Doesn't Make That Jolt Anymore
The beginning sounds the ones that are not the louder noises sounded like the polar express
That’s so cool that you can take the elevator in school my school has 2 elevators and they’re both key card locked
Something is scratched up...
The Elevator Cables Will Snap And The Other Elevator Parts will Break
There are no cables on a hydraulic elevator.
Oh Ok
they fixed the door too. It was very noisy
5:04 That’s crazy!
This has gotten a lot worse for an Otis
After M it gets so low on oil
If I owned an elevator, it'd be a traction so I don't have to worry about refueling it with hydraulic fluid.
They aren’t supposed to leak.
sometime soon the fox valley mall is getting torn down :(
It's sill there, was over there 3 months ago and it's still there, likely not going anywhere since it's still getting new stores and a apartment on the property where Sears was.
You should of reported it
Otis without no door close button
There is one in the fire cabinet.

Too bad it wasn’t glass
It's an otis
DEATH TRAP
Yeah it was bad.

I would say that the worst elevator on TH-cam.

@@stlelevators I can tell lol
I won't like Otis gen3 elevator
They aren’t anything exciting
Series 5 with Series 1 lanterns! Legitimately ridiculous!
Yeah it’s interesting.
Temple 92 Every NEW Otis's use them
Poor elevator! i have a elevator channel but post the elevator videos sometimes on my main channel.
God the pit has to be filled with oil and leaking drips every minute or so.
Did the elevator smell like oil?
How much did the cab smell like oil? Was the pit filled with oil!.
It didn't smell like oil.
I found a elevator this same amount low on oil maybe a little worse
You should’ve checked the pit with a flashlight! I bet there would be half a foot of oil or more down there!
Sounds like it got so bad now it needs a new impeller
UMMMMMMM THAT IS BAD
