Sadly, newer versions of the ASME A17.3 existing elevator code (likely adopted, or partially adopted by a few states, and possibly will be adopted by more states in the future) appear to prohibit "shipper rope" or pull rope operated elevators. It is looking possible that sooner or later, it is very possible pull rope elevators will be extinct in the US.
I was on the elavtor yesterday comeing from 5th to thrid floor and the freight elavtor made a sound since it's apartment people just use it as normal elavtor
This building is beautiful, this elevator is beautiful, everything is beautiful ! It runs like new ! I hope it won't get modernized or destroyed, never!
Its called a tiller rope. The rope usually has knobs mounted on it that catches and stops the elevator. Sometimes they have a switch called an angel switch that can be opened and closed to by pass the knob on the cable. Otis elevator made alot of these.
Wonder how well the hoist ropes hold up in the rain, even being steel with an inner rope core they can still corrode. Those types of traction elevators with 2:1 roping with a basement machine room appear pretty common.
I got to your videos through German Elevator Guy (has filmed lots of elevators around Stuttgart, Germany and in other countries too), some real vintage german ones amongst them
Those elevators wouldn't stand a chance in the USA anymore than Kim Jong-Un would! Denmark and Europe have some of the best vintage elevators! I also love their hand-operated pedestrian drawbridges! That other elevator does not have the mesh enclosure. Oh so that's how you stop on a floor you want. I love how the doors are flush with the wall and there is not inner door. Your demonstration showing that it stops when you reach your hand across the sensor shows that it's safe. I realize nothing is 100% safe but oh how ironic that those calling themselves "the brave" are afraid of elevators like this, the paternoster and even glass elevators, in some cases.... That elevator gate gives everyone a workout, I see.
This appears to be an electric elevator. Pulling the rope completes a circuit that powers the electric motor. There is also such a thing as a hand powered/non electric elevator where you have to constantly pull the rope and the elevator is powered purely by muscle power/gravity.
What Kind Of Elevator Is This.

wow! That’s so neat! Piece of history
It was amazing
Amazing 😍 I just rode 4 pull the ropes yesterday. I love how people say there hard to find but I been on 7
I’ve never seen one
I wanna try out that elevator right now
how do you stop a pull rope elevator?
You couldn't keep me off that elevator
'you gotta do something to make it come' I laughed a little too much at that statement. I have a filthy mind.

Europe has some very dope elevators

Totally.
Cool elevator Dieselducy. You're awesome!
I hope you post on that paternoster ride you took.
Hi DieselDucy I love your elevator videos I am wondering how do you make elevator videos without getting copyrighted?
2:51 Gladly you did not see that coming XD
Wait, Denmark uses the word Elevator? I just saw a sign that said Elevatoren, but on Norwegian, we say Heis..
Great clips u make brother!
This is amazingly cool and epic!
It was amazing.
I rode a couple in Germany, Italy, and Greece
Where was Alex if comeing down?
Can you just simply enter staff only area and call the service lift in public? ;O
Beno has just ridden this elevator
cool pull the ropes lift dieselducy
Question- does the elevator need power too operate?
yes it does.
Wait I thought the other elevator had normal buttons instead of the pull rope?
+LiftyGamez it does but they don’t work
cool pull the rope lift dieselducy
I'm confused... Was that thing actually motorized or did you have to manually move it with the rope?
lol What a dumb question.
