Swing Door!! Dover Impulse Traction Elevators in Omaha, NE

(August 2023) This is a really unique and interesting set of Dover elevators at the Skinner Macaroni Lofts in Omaha, NE. I assume these elevators used to be something really vintage, but at some point Dover/O'keefe came and did some heavy work on them. One of the elevators was totally replaced and is a regular passenger. The other one still has a SWING DOOR! This is the first swing door elevator I've seen with Dover Impulse!

The regular elevator uses a ThyssenKrupp buzz while the swing door elevator uses a longer extended Otis beep.

Very unique!

I’d rather have an actual butterfinger, thank you

@@mr.z_yt The 5600 Lb Swing Door Dover sounds like an old Otis Series 1 floor passing chime on a 6 story Impulse.

[@ElevatorsInternational]

That’s a very unique set of Dover Impulse Elevators 🛗!

[@user-st1qy9cc4x]

I like the fast Dover Impulse more than the swing door it’s really slow

[@alexanderzhou9058]

Cool!

[@IanGSully]

O'Keefe is just a Dover/ThyssenKrupp Distributer. And O'Keefe is still a ThyssenKrupp Distributer to this day.

[@elevdsm]

O’Keefe is defunct now as it was consolidated into TK

[@stlelevators]

Yes I know O’Keefe was a distributer

It is interesting how swing door dovers have an interesting chime and I want to ride one sometime believe it or not

[@elevcarwashsirensandmore21]

I would ride these.

[@the.amazing.elevator.man.2004]

I live here and I didn’t know that. If you want to, I can show you some elevators at college campuses. Also, o’keefe installed a lot of the Dovers that were in the city

[@DJSpinSter2004]

That first one looks like it’s runs on a TKE TAC controller and I know it’s not. Really nice elevators, epic find.

[@matthewlindstrom8728]

Elevator 1 the regular Dover elevator 2 the swing door which is very interesting because I love going in order

You going to be in iowa?

No

[@upanddownadventures]

The interlock on the swing door elevator is very weird (mounted to the TOP of the door jamb rather than the side!). Is it retiring cam actuated like a typical swing door interlock, or some weird unconventional setup? It also looks like it may be designed for double swing doors, but in this case only 1 hole is used.

Did you came to des moines?.

[@stlelevators]

No

[@LDTV22OfficialChannel]

This one has a very strange beep

[@matthewlindstrom8728]

What is the swing door for

[@boiii3productions945]

Possibly service elevator

[@boiii3productions945]

I hate the FPC chime on the swing door elevator. I can tolerate the buzz on the other elevator but not THIS GARBAGE
