SMALLEST ELEVATOR EVER??

- (3-17-22) I've been on some small elevators in the past, but NOTHING has come close to how small this thing is. At first, I didn't notice how small the shaft was, so when this elevator came down, I was mind blown by how small this is. This is a vintage Edmonds elevator that is gated. From what I could find, this elevator was installed in the 20s.
See the other tiny elevators I've been on (the Montgomery I referenced in the video):
• TINY Vintage 1940s Mon...
• Another TINY Vintage 1...

Probably one of the cooler (and claustrophobic) elevators that I’ve ever seen. Great find!
This one probably goes on my top 10 of most unique elevators I've found.
If I ever find a public elevator this tiny in person, I would be super amazed by it!
RIP me! This is so extremely small but an amazing vintage elevator!
This thing is so cool.
Getting stuck in this thing would really suck 😂😂😂
Yea…
There are similarly sized and even smaller elevators in Europe, with some very rare ones only having a capacity of 2 people/150 kg (330 lbs).
I figured that’s where small ones would be more common. This is the smallest one I’ve seen so far.
Paternoster
How small is this elevator Jason
How was this even legal 😂😂 This was the coolest thing we found 😂
Yes it was! The icing on the cake.
Also when was this elevator installed
0:24 killed me of laughter for some reason
apart from it being super small, it is the LOUDEST traction elevator i have ever seen.
I've heard louder.
i have seen loud hydraulic lifts but loud traction, this is the first time. so if you have any vids of even louder traction lifts you could send a link.
I love small elevators😂😂😂
Definitely never riding this
haha
Never seen anything like this most cool
This is up there on my top list of cool things.
Any capacity plate, and if so, what is the capacity?
It said 1000. I doubt it.
Wow, how to fit in tightly so small elevator, isn't? How old this elevator since it is?
I'm a fairly small person (but tall), and this thing was a struggle. From what I could find, this was installed in 1927.
@@stlelevators Wow, tightly so odd elevator is 95 years old for that building it is... Why weren't try to replace to make more comfort of space place of new elevator, isn't? What expects of this place since over the year odd building for long life, aren't. Great to find this elevator, mate. :)
Omg, One of these small elevators are nice
And I thought here in england had small lifts, but this really takes the biscuit lol
I’ve seen a few small ones in the past but my mind was blown when I saw this.
@@stlelevators I suppose the small ones make us appreciate the big ones...hahaha
Wow that is small, very unique. What kind of building is this located in? (Office building, industrial, etc.)
Private
@@stlelevators Ah ok
Like a "Baby Business" in that elevator. What purpose to this tiny small elevator, what kind could be?!
This thing is literally the size of a bedroom closet 😂
Definition of bravery
I've never seen an elevator smaller like this one
Same
I found this elevator in Boston that was probably the same size as this elevator and it was a Consolidated Elevator.
How old was it?
@@stlelevators not sure the exact date it was pretty old
You'll be lucky to even fit 2 people in this moving closet. lol
Yea
So cool. Worlds smallest elevator. Tight squeeze there.
I don’t know if it’s the worlds smallest but it has to be in the top 5
Super duper amazing and beautiful elevator but it’s a shame that there is no handrail
Is Elevator Legally Compliance?. Well At Least The Doors Is Not Covered And Some Air Can Pass Through.
How Did It Get The Buliding Code Pass Inspection
It was installed long before these codes.
What if you get stuck on this elevator!?
That wouldn’t be fun.
This beats 35 W Pine St in Orlando and I thought that thing was small! Lol
Haha yeah this thing is tiny
That is the rarest closet I've ever seen!
My closet is bigger than this LOL
That thing is so small. It should be nicknamed the Tinyvator.
It's the smallest elevator I've ever seen.
I think also the counterweight probably takes up alot of space in the shaft and if that wasnt there they couldve probably made it slightly bigger
That’s very true I didn’t think about that.
Actually this theory to be honest falls apart because this elevator would still be too small to have a good sized cab to it
Wow…. just wow!
I couldn’t believe it
I really wanna ride this when I come to Cleveland lol. Don't like the cab reno though.
What’s the capacity?
It says 1000lbs but I doubt that.
Dang that is some small elevator 😳
Yea
I wonder how Dieselducy would like this!
He thought it was crazy.
I had a nightmare like this before
This is ity bitty!
Yes!
just found a tiny 1000 lbs capacity westbrook passenger from 1946 probably to be the smallest westbrook on youtube let alone smallest elevator I have ever ridden
Well you uploaded this pretty quickly...
And that’s a problem?
@@stlelevators I didn't say it was... You just don't normally upload your videos right away... 🙄
Whatever the company was that made this maybe they should get the gold star for the tiniest elevator ever built but we have seen smaller ones out there so maybe theyd get like second or third place on the list there
I would have never expected to find one this small in the U.S.
exactly
I couldn't ride in this elevator. By the time it gets to my floor, I'd be in a full-blown claustrophobic panic. If it ever got stuck, I'd be punchin that door until either, I get thru or the elevator falls from the repeated punching with likely broken hands
Wow that is tiny. Some dumbwaiters are bigger than this elevator. Lol.
Yep
Place for Two People and A Child or When you did do shopping. The Older People are Very Glad for this ELEVATOR
I don't think 2 people would fit in here well.
@@stlelevators With Acrobatics maby
SAY WHAT!!! I've nevee seen an elevator that small.
Same here. I've been on some small ones in the past but this beats all of those.
LOL! It’s so tiny! I bet only one person or a child could fit
There’s some people that wouldn’t fit.
There’s no way they could fit a wheelchair into the smallest elevator.
Nope.
No floor indicator
Like homelifts
Most home lifts are larger than this.
Imagine getting stuck in their.
Was this elevator located outside of America? I feel like the average American would not fit in this elevator.
It’s in Ohio. I thought the same thing.
😂😂😂😂 that is insane
Yeah it is.
Bro imagine getting stuck
That would not be fun.
I’ve never seen that Jason.
Same here.
Two people can barely even fit in this elevator...
Unless Mini Mushrooms exist and work for real in real life it's gonna be hard to not be alone in this particular elevator... or to fit a wheelchair that probably needs to be smaller.
(I doubt that a smaller elevator *for people* exists but if that's the case it would fit only ONE person if not barely)
I honestly think you can only fit like 2 to 3 people in there
There are people that wouldn't fit in here.
The stairwell is litterally 2 times wider than the elevator I bet a really big person just takes the stairs and its probably not that long of a journey between floors
rip for the people with claustrophobia
Totally.
Dang!
I was mind blown by it. I actually have another video of this where I'm less "OMG" lol
BRO WUT
Yep…. I’m still blown away by how small this is.
Tiny John
This thing beats those little Montgomerys in Evanston.
My god this is so small its practically a dumbwaiter at this point
Pretty much
I honestly wouldnt go on it too much but its probably really close to getting modernized like all other old elevators out there
I almost died. Im claustrophobic
I don’t usually have a hard time with small spaces but this one did a bit.
There is no way someone is getting a wheelchair in that thing.
Nope
This stuff would not be installed in today’s world, especially in the US!
Nope
This can't be real 😂
Well, it is haha
Wow, so small, not even a wheel items can go in here
There’s not much that would fit in here. I have elevator panels that wouldn’t fit in here
The wheel chair person would have to stand up and hold the wheel chair
The chair wouldn’t even fit in.
You definitely can’t get no damn wheelchair in there
Nope.
What the--?!
That’s what I said lol
Got this in my recommended and that is the definition of non-ADA compliant. Nice find though. LOL
This was installed way before the ADA
😬🤯
That cannot fit a wheelchair. There’s just no way.
Nope.
An elevator like a size of a closet… bruh lol.
I’ve seen closets larger.
There can only be 2 adults or 4 kids😂
Two really skinny adults.
yea
Wow 😳 this is the smallest elevator I've ever seen! The capacity has to be less than 600 lbs.
It says 1000 but it’s gotta be much less.
@@stlelevators Oh I didn't see the 1000, but that size of that elevator looks like it will fit no more than 2 people.
NOT great for claustrophobia
Nope!
too bad that thing isn't ADA compliant but in least its vintage still!:)
This thing was installed long before the ADA was a thing.
Jay can’t fit in this. The Menerd who likes Menards.
I hope you’re aware that Jay wants nothing to do with you.
Hey bud, your brain could fit in this elevator though since it's tiny!
Why are you so obsessed with Jay? He doesn't even like you.
It's not cool to obsess over someone so much..
Horrible 😮 yo me muero
This should be replaced because it can’t even fit a wheelchair in it 😳
You say that but there’s no room for another elevator.
oee
i seriously wonder who had the audacity to install this
It was probably one of those “let’s install a cheap small elevator so we can look luxurious.” Back then having an elevator was a big deal.
