mrmattandmrchay Hi, again. Remember saying that I got to look in a hydraulic lift control room, Wellll, I actually got stuck in that same lift. On platforms 3&4 at Leicester (My local Stn) the doors of the lift did not close properly so the safety did not work & I was stuck there for 5 mins before the doors opened, closed & the lift actually worked. I later learnt that to stop this I had to use my hands to push the doors the last centimetre shut. Also that lift did a weird thing where the doors would close REALLY slowly if you held the open for too long. And this is only for a 10-15 year old Schindler. I thought Germany was a country of excellence. 😜
i've been into this situation plenty times in my nightmares, though i've never experienced it in real life... it's past 5am and i had this random idea to see if there are any videos like that and i was shocked to watch something terrifyingly similar to the nightmares i had since i was a kid, i mean the whole scenery is the same
haha, very interesting how people find my channel sometimes! I suppose older lifts, when they go wrong they just 'freeze' in the broken state (more entrapments). Newer lifts have logic to say 'go to next floor and open doors' and they are less scarier (possibly!)
Garson he's not a weeb, weeaboos are people who surround themselves with Japanese culture and replace words with the pronunciations in Japanese. In short: he's not a weeaboo.
+plateshutoverlock If this had happened when I was a kid, omgggggg - this would have been a big problem as I was afraid of them. But once you get to see how they work then you think "what could have caused this" and I'm intrigued! It's a funny thing to say, but I WANT to see some more faults like this and perhaps get stuck in a lift (as long as I have something to record it with!)
Last year I got stuck in an old lift in Budapest (one of those typical red ones). It was off way worse than this one, more than half a metre on the top floor I'd say. No way of going up there, we went back down to the 4th and walked up the stairs.
There is fix-it problem with this... What purpose to know this elevator needs fixtures properly and re-installed system test throughout all the level floors, no more technical faults. Why this... is elevator going wrong for loss inner door while open at between 8th and 9th floors. That is being stuck it up there near the 9th floor! How creepy this???
The elevator of my apartment building has two double doors without mechanism, cause my house is on the opposite size of the lift than the other apartments. One door is missing so when it goes down you see the walls of the shaft. And yet I don't know why but for some reason when something goes wrong the shaft's walls creep me.
ZZ9 Productions id say more useful would be to put that sign inside the elevator and on 9th floor only. So if your trying to go down and it’s stuck, you know you gotta go down stairs call it at 8 cuz you’d end up reading after waiting...and inside elevator because someone could forget/not read before going in, or not see cuz they arrive on already open door. But if your stuck in an elevator, I’m pretty sure you’ll read everything you see
Edit: best locations would be on door at floor no for noticing. Best location in elevator would be above the buttons. We always read above buttons if we’re stuck, but if it’s inside elevator on door again you might not read if your for instance, on your phone during the ride, and once inner door would open, it would be too late
Remember that lifts are just machines. It's a box that goes up and down tracks. Invented by humans to make our lives easier. I used to be scared of them too, but now I realise how they work I'm fascinated by them. The people that designed lifts before computers were around, hats off to them, as the designs they came up with were amazing. So don't be afraid of them, yes there are some horror stories, but in a world with millions of lifts there are bound to be some.
The main thing is if you get stuck in one, never try to escape on your own unless extreme emergency (that is, fire in the building, in which case the shaft quickly becomes a chimney). And even in that case, jump forward and fall as flat as you can. You'll probably break an arm, but it's better than having a good, but a bit unbalanced landing on your feet with a shaft opening behind your back (and probably no skirt on the lift -- always assume that) and nothing to hold on to in front and around. And *NEVER* attempt slow dismounting facing the lift: you *WILL* drop down the shaft and die hitting a counterweight -- that's the usual way droppers go. Always call for lift technicians. They will disable electricity, get onto the cabin and use manual cranking to lower the cabin a few centimeters below the floor, get back up and around, then open the doors, letting you to step out normally.
@@kinokii that is why the call for help button was put in an elevator to give the rider a feeling of comfort that if anything went wrong you could call someone to help
I guess its due to a loose pie plate selector plate in the motor room or maybe a slipping selector tape? Maybe a worn or missing tooth on selector tape sprocket. I once had that happen in an Otis in Spain. It stopped half way between 12 and 13 doors opened but outer door remained locked. Lift still worked when I pressed the next floor.
Bennie don't use a mechanical selector. It's a strange relay system. There seem to be 'odd' and 'even' relays that come on that latch the next relay. Not had a chance to study it properly yet . When you see the next video you'll see what I mean.
I go in ALOT of elevators but I'm really scared of them. Once I went in an elevator with my family and it was smoothly going up until it jurked and would not miss. We pressed the floor we were heading to and it worked. Also, on this one cruise ship I have been on they have like 3 elevators on each side for the recreation areas, these elevators are the BEST. I don't know why but they were super smooth and always worked perfectly. Since the casing was completely glass, I decided to have a look how it worked. From what I saw, they were not weight nor wheel driven elevators. If anyone is an an elevator mechanic please explain to me what it could have been, and why they were so smooth.
If you didn't see any cable or weight system then perhaps this is a hydraulic lift with a 'ram' underneath it. But these normally have a starting up shunt as the pump drives oil into the piston. So not sure which design of lift yours were. As a kid I was terrified of elevators and even when I was about 6 years old I would almost beg my parents to allow me to go up the stairs rather than get in a lift that looked like a coffin! (this was in the late 70s/80s)
On scenic elevators as they are known the counterweight can be run in its own separate shaft. This can be any distance away from the main hoistway and the lift is roping system is arranged accordingly with the use of divertor pulleys. Also the trailing cables run in open trunking on the static side to prevent SWAY due to the rolling of the ship. Most modern cruiseship elevators are top of the range models and every consideration is given to passenger comfort rather than speed. They run on larger cross-section guide rails that have been machined to a much smoother finish than say a lift in a council block of flats. Also roller guide shoes are used to enhance the ride and do away with the need to lubricate the guide-rails. A bit like the difference in riding in a rolls-royce to a ford fiesta, they both get you there but the roller is more comfortable.
most lifts have what you call a door zone to stop the car doors opening if the lift isnt level, its simply a 6 inch length of magnet and sensor that pulls a coil in on the panel that closes the contact to allow the feed to go to the door circuit, if the lifts out of range the contact stays open and the doors will stay shut.
Back in old day's 1980's when i worked for express lifts they brough out a floor leveling computer to stop this sort of thing happening, dont they use that technology today ?
Leveling circuits are giving a false signal, or the safety to prevent the elevator from hitting the roof set too far down. Can't get stuck from this failure mode cause you just have to go to a different floor, but on a bad day you may not be able to get to 9th floor at all. (barring using stairs, which is for sissies :D ) edit: almost certainly the leveling contacts are bad, cause the elevator stopped too high at 6:10 as is clearly shown. Not to mention meat sensors on the door basically don't exist.
I have today. The main focus is not to panic. If the doors get jammed, press another button and the elevator will take you up and the doors will open properly for you to get out. Or just press an alarm button and wait until someone comes. Just remain calm at all times, even if it's scary
Reminds me of a service lift from a Tesco I worked in back in 2000... Once someone came down with a pallet of sugar, and when we opened the door, at shop level, they were about 3 feet into the ground! Had to pass the sugar bags up one by one :)
I find lifts a little bit scary but I use them anyway :/ But I think it's a good Idea to use the stairs unless there is a mother with a baby in the buggy , you are a disabled person or you're too old.
when I went on a school trip to Malaga we stayed in accommodation run by nuns (so I guess a convent?) and the part we were staying in had an old lift that was really creaky and when it reached its floor it sort of slowed then jolted. EVERY TIME. And it terrified me
Trizocbs 100% Bennie! I suppose when Bennie buttons became unavailable then they found the Express buttons fitted. See new video that I've just uploaded.
Amazing videos you make! Might be a video from 9, almost 10 years ago. I would want to know if i could use the sounds from this video as i am making this exact lift in a game.. Might be a weird comment.
What I would hate about this is the top floor call button had no lights in it so you couldnt tell if the elevator/lift was on its way up or serving other calls
It’s common for Bennie lifts to have the vandal resistant Express buttons fitted as replacements. It’s just due to the fact that the Express ones are far more commonly available (in the past at least), and conveniently they fit in a Bennie COP!
there is not much clearance between the car door and hall door that it bumps the car door cam every time it passed through it and at the same time opens the safety circuit so elevator shuts down. Needs to be re-aligned.
building is still here. lift went a few months after this was filmed. i used to live on the estate years ago and all but one block ended up being modernised(forgot to add the HS2 demolished blocks never had their lifts modernised(. Went on a lil nostalgia visit there recently aswell
mrmattandmrchay right when it moves down it relieves instantly. It also happens when your on and the doors are still open. Once you get on and the doors are still open it will do that too
Jonathan Cantliff Hiya Jonathan (same spelling as my middle name - interesting info for you...NOT!). I've updated the description now, or go here for part 2: th-cam.com/video/e7EtHqRkgiU/w-d-xo.html
@@KXY5 That's right. Back in the 70s, accessibility wasn't considered very important. So now the old lifts are required to have the buttons lowered. :-)
When you have to hurry for the toilet in your room to make a real liquid poop and you can't no longer hold it back, suddenly the elevator don't reached your floor!
You're lucky you get a place that will modernize the elevator...my building has been using one that seems to have come from the mid 50s with no intention of actually changing the cab/wires. Currently it's stopping way below the floor (depending on the amount of people) can be 5-13 inches below the floor when its going down and when the elevator is going up it stop above the floor. Literally had a dream last night that i got in the elevator, began to go up and then something snapped and i crashed in the basement >.< feel like its a deathtrap in the making. We all make so many complaints, it sucks that they fall on deaf ears...would hate for someone having a bad accident in it before theyre taken seriously
+mrmattandmrchay oh hi, no. I'm in Brooklyn. I was able to look at the front elevator and the floor grate says "staley" idk if that's an elevator manufacturer or not yet.
+Yosemite AJ oh that does seem scary. But twice a month inspection sounds good ^_^. My elevator isn't that old. I think it's from the late 60s or 70s. It's out again since this past weekend, no clue when it will be "fixed".
mydarlinglana--In California a state inspector must check all elevators and if it passes it gets some kind of inspection certificate or sticker put in the elevator car. This and making sure nobody dies or becomes permanently disabled from lack of medical care are just two of the advantages of living in a "socialist blue state."
I once saw an old Otis freight car fail to level almost as bad. It was a regular occurrence. They must have had to adjust it a lot. Every elevator in that building has now been modernized, but I miss the old ones a bit...
Very true and also a shame they modernized the old lifts...But, there is an old Dover hydro-lift in the building where I am currently doing construction work at. I believe it's 100% relay controlled. There is a 1979 issued operating permit taped to the control unit. They kept all the permits until 2003 and then I'm guessing the building may have been vacant.
Sometimes I have elevator nightmares about situations like this. I worked on some really old ones in some really old buildings around new york and new jersey that felt like they were haunted. Haven't rode one in years now.
I had a dream where the elevator stopped between floors, then started to fill with smoke. I was scared ____less. That's when I became all too aware of my own mortality.
This must be the more expensive system where it can hold multiple calls in its logic because you pressed ground and basement at the same time and it registered both floors
Is very creepy for this elevator isn't! What supposed be elevator fixtures with new ones investor door and fix-it inner door lock properly. Now is... This is lack of inner door connection like a riddle noise door or damage connection inner door. What purpose to know this is elevator to ride it updated properly you know. But this... up to the ninth floor, then stopped between eighth floor and ninth floor. There is a problem with this elevator inner door was broken! That's no good fixtures isn't.
the sound that elevator makes gives a creepy vibe.

The main thing is if you get stuck in one, never try to escape on your own unless extreme emergency (that is, fire in the building, in which case the shaft quickly becomes a chimney). And even in that case, jump forward and fall as flat as you can. You'll probably break an arm, but it's better than having a good, but a bit unbalanced landing on your feet with a shaft opening behind your back (and probably no skirt on the lift -- always assume that) and nothing to hold on to in front and around.

Hi Matt,
Did you do the part 2 of this video?
I'm curious about the machine room.
there is not much clearance between the car door and hall door that it bumps the car door cam every time it passed through it and at the same time opens the safety circuit so elevator shuts down. Needs to be re-aligned.
Is this lift located in a tower block?

Not very well, the building was demolished about 3-4 years ago to make way for the HS2 railway just north of Kings Cross.

LOL reminded me of the lift at Grace brothers in "are you being served?". stopping 3 feet off the landing 😀 and making grinding and clunking sounds
Wow Ive never seen that happen before where it stops below the floor like that because the ones up where I live are newer and level in sequence
There’s a lift at my dads work that moves down about a inch when you step into it
Sounds like a hydraulic. Extra weight pushes the hydraulic ram down, most "re-level" a few seconds later if that happens
mrmattandmrchay it’s a 1980-1990s Dover. It makes some strange noises
mrmattandmrchay right when it moves down it relieves instantly. It also happens when your on and the doors are still open. Once you get on and the doors are still open it will do that too

Jonathan Cantliff Hiya Jonathan (same spelling as my middle name - interesting info for you...NOT!). I've updated the description now, or go here for part 2: th-cam.com/video/e7EtHqRkgiU/w-d-xo.html
mrmattandmrchay Aha, thanks!
Just to continue the convo, my middle name is Martin
Jonathan Cantliff Yeah, well I'm not sure just how to continue this subject..! LOL
Me neither
DONT TRY THIS
Does it still exist
Still better than getting stuck between floors on a 6 month elevator.
The longest ive hand a elevator stop under landing is like 1 inch
Why are the buttons so high on these old elevators?
I’m not entirely sure. My guess would be that it stops children from using the lift in their own.
@@Lift.Tracker Maybe, but it would also stop people in wheelchair to use the elevator...
@@KXY5 That's right. Back in the 70s, accessibility wasn't considered very important. So now the old lifts are required to have the buttons lowered. :-)
I would never have known that was the button to call the lift...
What would even cause the lift to do that only some of the time?
What does the top button do
Alarm,
Do you know if this has been modded?
Unfortunately, yes, about 3-4 years ago now. There were other blocks that were already being updated when I filmed this one.
That elavator looks creepy ,
When you have to hurry for the toilet in your room to make a real liquid poop and you can't no longer hold it back, suddenly the elevator don't reached your floor!
Is this lift modernized by elite
Getting stuck in a lift is my worst nightmare
Fish
Why are the buttons so high
+Ham549 Best guess: to keep kids from using the lift. That's the only serious explanation I could think of.
I Love This Video.
I would have screamed the place down if I was in that lift. Wait I wouldn't go in a lift anyway.... XD
>>There seem to be 'odd' and 'even' relays that come on that latch the next relay.
A similar system is used in mid-1980s KONE lifts.
If you ever get stuck and there’s no emergency button because it’s old than just use your phone to call the fire department
4:15 explain. it is normal
So classic Bennie lifts don't exist anymore?
They do exist still, but they are very rare. The one in this video is replaced now.
@@Lift.Tracker Seems fair, as of 2020 they would be around 40 years old. I don't think I would trust an elevator that old.
0:03 nice intro you earned a like
70's-80's elevator
Was Something Jamming The Elevator?
Why do you keep taking the eleavatkr
It's because, my channel is mainly about old elevators (or lifts as we call them in the uk) :)
You're lucky you get a place that will modernize the elevator...my building has been using one that seems to have come from the mid 50s with no intention of actually changing the cab/wires. Currently it's stopping way below the floor (depending on the amount of people) can be 5-13 inches below the floor when its going down and when the elevator is going up it stop above the floor. Literally had a dream last night that i got in the elevator, began to go up and then something snapped and i crashed in the basement >.< feel like its a deathtrap in the making. We all make so many complaints, it sucks that they fall on deaf ears...would hate for someone having a bad accident in it before theyre taken seriously
+mydarlinglana Now that WOULD be a lift I'd like to film :) I take it you are not in the UK?
+mrmattandmrchay oh hi, no. I'm in Brooklyn. I was able to look at the front elevator and the floor grate says "staley" idk if that's an elevator manufacturer or not yet.
+Yosemite AJ oh that does seem scary. But twice a month inspection sounds good ^_^. My elevator isn't that old. I think it's from the late 60s or 70s. It's out again since this past weekend, no clue when it will be "fixed".
mydarlinglana--In California a state inspector must check all elevators and if it passes it gets some kind of inspection certificate or sticker put in the elevator car. This and making sure nobody dies or becomes permanently disabled from lack of medical care are just two of the advantages of living in a "socialist blue state."
What happened this Elevator
The word elevator makes me wanna cry i hate them bc of those reasons bc my mom always asks im like what if u was to get stuck but cant get out
1:42 that also happened in a 1984 kone in the country where I live
I have been in a lift that over shot the top floor by 6 inches. Both doors opened though.
I once saw an old Otis freight car fail to level almost as bad. It was a regular occurrence. They must have had to adjust it a lot. Every elevator in that building has now been modernized, but I miss the old ones a bit...
+2010jcarp2 Aww that's a shame. Old lifts have characters, even when they fail to level - it's part of their character :)
Very true and also a shame they modernized the old lifts...But, there is an old Dover hydro-lift in the building where I am currently doing construction work at. I believe it's 100% relay controlled. There is a 1979 issued operating permit taped to the control unit. They kept all the permits until 2003 and then I'm guessing the building may have been vacant.
Sometimes I have elevator nightmares about situations like this. I worked on some really old ones in some really old buildings around new york and new jersey that felt like they were haunted. Haven't rode one in years now.
I had a dream where the elevator stopped between floors, then started to fill with smoke. I was scared ____less. That's when I became all too aware of my own mortality.
This must be the more expensive system where it can hold multiple calls in its logic because you pressed ground and basement at the same time and it registered both floors
Is very creepy for this elevator isn't! What supposed be elevator fixtures with new ones investor door and fix-it inner door lock properly. Now is... This is lack of inner door connection like a riddle noise door or damage connection inner door. What purpose to know this is elevator to ride it updated properly you know. But this... up to the ninth floor, then stopped between eighth floor and ninth floor. There is a problem with this elevator inner door was broken! That's no good fixtures isn't.
Peter Deutscher I wouldn't even ride a lift that looked like that
u must record every time you go in a lift just to see if anything goes wrong lol
***** change your cancer unoriginal combacks m8
***** that's the life living in Britain - u make anything funny.
The fixtures font looks similar to Schindler`s M-Series font
