Block 647 Punggol Central - Fujitec traction elevators

18 July 2020, 1229 to 1303 | Sorry for the laggy 30 seconds at the start. Video couldn't quite process correctly after multiple tries. 😣

This kind of straight-line patterned metal securer for the glass windows on the doors came much earlier than you think!
(perhaps Ulift-XJ's and Mitsubishi Singapore's Lift Renewal Programme/Selective Lift Replacement Programme [LRP/SLRP] elevator replacements were inspired by this type of window securer pattern as well?)
Lift A has reasonably loud announcements, and its door buzzer is working. Lift B's door buzzer has worn out, but its announcements are louder than Lift A.
In my honest opinion, these Japanese Fujitec elevators run really smoothly and efficiently, and they are not flimsy. Much better than the China Fujitecs we have of today. The only slight improvement that is needed for these elevators is faster leveling (maybe pre-leveling doors if possible)
Both of the elevators have a special autocall function back to the 1st floor, such that if they are not in use (and are both above the first floor), one of them will simply get called down to the first floor, but will not open its doors if no one has pressed the call button there.
Took about 10 minutes for me to get a successful take of Lift B being autocalled back to the first floor. (The lifts are rather busy here)

Fun fact: When the fujitec lift car was delivered to Marsiling Drive in 2003, it was painted orange with a banner that has Japanese words on it, they had to demolish the old motor room on the roof, cut open the lift shaft from the top, remove the old lift and used a crane to hoist the new lift car up and insert it down into the shaft

interesting

[@chookwangzhee1889]

For which block? Evidence?

[@hotmixer2010]

@@chookwangzhee1889 I've been living in Marsiling for years, the lifts were all installed at the same time in 2003, there's no TH-cam, Facebook, Twitter back then

The ones at Block 642 Punggol Fujitec has the interesting design cabin inside the lift but it uses the Fujitec Door Frame.

[@poteyatocheapp6978]

Because that one is Meadows not Eastdale

Idk what's up with TH-cam... My TPY video also couldn't process correctly yesterday
But I rmb there's a certain Estate in Taman Jurong that has Fujitecs with this kind of window pattern but built much later

Why does lift b does not have door chime

[@chookwangzhee1889]

Checked property guru, seems like this straight line pattern was already there at the beginning, not a modification of the diamond

[@tswub]

The straight line pattern was there all along from the beginning of operation.

[@jkchow4116]

Is this for IFE door pattern

[@tswub]

Yes IFE used the same straight-line metal pattern for its door window securers.

[@YaoboyProd2K15]

IFE frame, fujitec buttons.

[@tswub]

These metal frames were used long before IFE existed lol

[@sgtrainstransportation]

[@tswub]

You mean (Mitsubishi Singapore) MSG elevators? The kind that horribly replaced all the old Fujitecs under Bishan-Toa Payoh town council
Yes the Fujitecs here do look like MSGs from afar tbh
