    Those Amalgamated Car Park lifts look really nice - I love those funky indicators with the zooming numbers, and they seem pretty efficient too. They are proof of what I have been saying for years, which is that "Generic" doesn't have to mean bad or boring. Any lift can be cool and interesting! I remember childhood visits to this shopping centre with my Grandparents many times (before I was interested in lifts). This is the one shopping centre from my childhood I've not been back to on my return visits to the UK (I've lived in New Zealand since 2007).

    The Torrington lifts were originally the rare 'Becker' company. Becker were a very small lift company, they made lifts in the 1970s. They were taken over by Otis I know as used to love riding these many years ago as each on characteristic.. Becker built a few car park hydraulics, all highly unreliable but great for faults. They all had a famous squeak sound which you can just about hear at the end of the video. The larger lifts which disappointingly are now not in use could hear squeaks every floor So glad at least the two car park-only lifts are still there and going to make a visit.
    I suspect they cost to much to maintain with all the faults. Originally Morrisons or Safeway have based in this store hence the very large three lifts there.

    Interesting that they used green buttons for up and red for down. Good video

    The algamated car park lifts are mods. Those are KONE doors.

    Some interesting lifts here! Loving the ADO on the M&S lift and very efficient car park lifts - shame that only one of the 2 lifts were working. Any ideas why they've covered up the lifts in the shop?

      @English Lift Enthusiast I was here a year ago to. They did have barriers but only ever 1 lift working probably had a major fault and all “abandoned” for now. See th-cam.com/video/RBxNnbPWc90/w-d-xo.html

      Otis with a VF mod most likely. Doesn’t sound anything like TK

    3:46 is dangerous because it's pre doors and going up
