- I'm not normally a fan of hydraulic lifts, but this lift is just superb. Custom announcements, short levelling times, and remnants of the original lift make this lift a must see if in the area! Be aware though, it's VERY busy!
This lift has been on my list to film for quite a while now - it's nice to finally be able to ✅ this one off.
Thanks for watching!

YOUR FAQ's!
Where is this lift located?
TK Maxx and Wagamama Kensington. Enter the building through the Wagamama entrance (shown clearly in the video) and the lift will be immediately on your left.
What was this lift before it was modernised?
This lift used to be a Sea Setronik installed by Crown Lifts, which was modernised by Jackson. This lift has been modernised again since then. I'm sure that the Sea Setronik was a modernisation / replacement of the original lift here, but I don't know for certain. You can see an older video of this lift on ElevatorsInRussia's channel: • BUSY 1990's Curti (mb ...
What fixtures/voice does this lift have?
Buttons: 3 different models of button are used - Dewhurst US90-15, Dewhurst US91-EN, and CEA Block 37 mf (thanks wolfdevil).
Indicators: Stentorgate MFDU30-3H
Voice: Female Stentorgate
Who is responsible for servicing this lift and repairing it when it breaks down?
Jackson are currently responsible for the maintenance of this lift.

What a epic lift. You never fail to provide us with smooth content. Loving that animation!
Mezzanine floor, TK Maxx!
Glad you liked the animation!
Thanks for watching!
I love the custom announcements and the indicator messages. Great video. Epic lift
Ground floor, TK Maxx, Wagamama! Doors opening, lift going up! Doors closing! Epic announcements indeed. I wonder how they programmed that indicator to scroll a message such as "TKMAXX - G".
Thanks for watching!
Love that instant door close :)
You always make the best content. You find lifts that would look boring but are more efficient than they look! Great video!
Thank you for your comment about the intro. The intro is actually an old intro which I've modified slightly, glad you like it!
My channel is all about finding very underrated lifts - the lifts that stand out to me as being special, but get very little attention from others on TH-cam. Hate filming EPIC lifts that there are 1000's of videos of on TH-cam.
love this! especially "first floor wagamama" and "mezzanine floor tk maxx"
If I don't find it interesting, it doesn't get uploaded! I love all of the lifts I film for my channel, and I'm glad you like this lift too!
The custom announcements have to be my favourite feature on this lift - you cannot hear these announcements anywhere else, making this lift truly unique!
Thanks for watching!
This lift is amazing, need to see it!
Glad you're also a fan!
Great video. This lift honestly needs a lot of recognition due to the fact of how this lift is set up. How interesting.
It's efficient, it has distinctive announcements, a loud voice, and remnants of the old lift still working - what's not to love?
I would of course encourage everyone to visit this epic lift - the more people know about it, the better!
Thanks for watching!
@@MichalM Yeah, I agree. Try doing a chime trick on a Schindler 3300 as a suggestion. I seen many people do it and it worked well.
@@CoolDrake910_Official The multiple chime trick? Tried that and it crashed the lift. Video coming soon.
@@MichalM Yeah, the new edition of the 3300 is easy to do the trick.
Woah! Interesting announcements! I need to visit this lift next time I go to London!
It will be well worth the visit, I can assure you! Ground floor, TK Maxx, Wagamama!
Brilliant lift, nice and efficient! This video is very nice and relaxing to watch!
Glad you liked it!
Amazing lift video!
Thanks. More videos to come!
Mulligans in worcester when it was JJB the lift was shared with Slaters
The lift was modernized by Jackson Lift Group - it says it right above the indicator.
Incorrect! I have revealed the answer, the answer is actually ACE. Jackson maintain this lift but they didn't carry out the last modernisation.
Interesting lift, and I love those announcements
You won't hear these announcements anywhere else! Unless TK Maxx and Wagamama also share a lift somewhere else?
Well worth a visit!
Thanks for watching!
Went to London on last Sunday, and unexpectedly found a lift that is way up your street :)
Oh nice! Let me know which video it is and I'll take a look.
Epic. I remember Jackson modded it once and now its been modded again.
Yes it was first modernised by Jackson! I will update the description now. Thanks.
Description updated!
Great Video & The Announcements In the Lifts Is Really Nice & I’m Definitely Gonna Put this On My List To Visit.
Thanks! These announcements are unique to this lift so it's well worth visiting if you're in the area.
@@MichalM Definitely If I’m Near I’ll Pay it a Visit. Also I’m Going Bradford Is there Like any Lifts there that u think I should pay a vid
@@TheLiftEnthusiastsChannel Not sure sorry.
@@MichalM Np Bro It’s Fine It’s Just Because Bradford kinda crap so Just Wondering But it’s fine bro
Interestingly, in Australia it seems very much the norm, rather than the exception, for generic voice modules to offer custom announcements. Both the majors (ECD and Pixel Technologies) offer it, with interesting results as the ECD voice actress' voice has gotten deeper with time, making the brand new custom voices sound odd compared to her original, higher pitch direction voices. Even more starkly, the Pixel Technologies ones use voice modules originally seen in Singapore but with a different, Australian-accented VA, and her custom voices also sound very different from the original's lower quality, different accent direction voices.
The buttons on the outside of the lift on the TK Maxx side are Dewhurst US90-15.
Correct, as mentioned at 5:05.
I filmed some epic lifts in London. Including some older Rubaxes.
Excellent! Where are these Rubaxes? Have they been uploaded to TH-cam before? If not, when will you be uploading your video?
EPIQUE. I like that Custom Stentorgate voice announcements. And my guess is Jackson must have modernized this lift.
I love custom announcements too, makes the lift they're programmed to unique! Thanks for watching!
Very nice
Glad you enjoyed this lift as much as I did! Thanks for watching!
The "Setronik" buttons are CEA x block 37, CEA are an italian company.
Is there a chart, table or document outlining the various buttons that are made by CEA? If not, do you where can I find the model numbers for various lift components?
Thanks for watching!
@@MichalM cealift.it/categoria_prodotti/pulsanti/ These are all the buttons they make, click on one of them and it takes you to a page where you can download the catalogue, for that specific button.
@@wolfdevil9771 Ah thanks. That's something I shall enjoy reading in due course.
@@wolfdevil9771 How fascinating! I didn't know that these buttons were still sold off the shelf. Thanks for letting me know, I have updated the description.
@@MichalM your welcome :) appears these buttons have been in production since the 90s at least.
Thanks for inspiring me again! Next time Ill be revisiting the lifts I did last time, plus this one! Even the Brunswick Centre ones to. You inspire me to the most epic lifts and I really thank you for it. How did you get to the Brunswick Centre? When I go Im planning to get off at Russell Square station because its a 2 minute walk from the Brunswick Centre. Epic video as always mate!
I'm very glad that I have inspired you (and hopefully others) to film this lift. This is a very busy lift at the weekend, so it's well worth visiting on a weekday, avoiding lunch, if possible.
The Brunswick Centre is indeed only a short walk from Russell Square Station, however it is within walking distance from many other stations.
Btw, I think you might recognise the lift in my recent community post - video coming soon!
Thanks once again for your support.
Wow at txmaxx and wagamama
Kensington.
Ill be filming this lift when I next go to london
Be sure to go early in the morning - if you go at any other time, including late evening, it will be most people's dinner time - therefore Wagamama will probably be busy.
@@MichalM Thank, when we next go there i will make sure
Your 700th subbed :)
Thanks!
I filmed a ADO Gen2 at merry hill the one that replaced the round miconic
Which Gen 2 is that? The one outside M&S?
@@MichalM yes
@@LiftEnthusiast2020OFFTOPIC I didn't notice that it had ADO, oof!
Hi Michal, this is a bit off topic but as I was reading your “about” page on your channel I noticed a mistake. It says “100’000” views, instead of “100,000” views. Nice video! I think stannah modernisation.
The US90-15 is from the first mod and the US91-EN is from the second mod iirc. This is definitely on my to film list!
I would imagine so, yes. Not sure why they only replaced some buttons, though! Glad to hear you like it, definitely worth visiting!
Thanks for watching!
@@MichalM always end up rewatching this video in particular!
I have some bad news which I’ve posted to my community page. My next video however will feature a slight bit of Picture in Picture!
Visited here yesterday although I couldnt do it for long since I had to get to my hotel at 4:30 PM and it was like 20 minutes or so from High St Kensington but I rode the lift and its lights are a bit darker
Glad you got to this lift in the end. Hope you enjoyed riding it!
Update on Woking: if you are gonna visit the mall in woking go to sainsburys THERE IS A VERY OLD LIFT THERE! I think it’s an original evans or express. But I think u need permission to ride it due to it being a staff lift.
I would never go into a staff only lift without permission. If I'm ever there, I'll take a look at it from the outside, but I'm definitely not touching it. It's a staff only lift for a reason, and I'm not going to start behaving like other pathetic individuals in this community (who think they can do whatever they want) any time soon!
@@MichalM yes I know Michal, but if u ask for permission then maybe who knows…. I swear I’m not like one of those pathetic people who think they can do what they want. I’m not forcing you, I’m just asking that u can ask for permission to ride it or touch button
@@DudeLuqYL Oh absolutely, if it's worth it then I'll ask a member of staff. Hopefully they'll say yes to taking a look inside. Is it a dumb waiter?
@@MichalM I’m sorry, what do you mean by, “dumb waiter”
@@DudeLuqYL A dumb waiter is a goods lift which is not designed to carry passengers. They are typically very small (cupboard size) and are operated from the landings.
4:23 Oh god I hate those awful craneflies
Anyways, that lift is amazing, I need to film it. Great video
Well done for noticing! I'm not sure where it went after I'd opened the doors - I'm usually scared of them but I didn't notice it at all when I got back in to the lift.
Film it!
Thanks for watching!
Ahhh, hints the lift is modernised from the call buttons at M. Does it have ADO?
Yes that is correct. More modernisation information can always be found in the description. This is a very efficient lift but it doesn't have ADO.
Insert your answers to the question at 2:52 here!
EDIT: The answer to this question has been revealed! See my Schindler chime video for the answer!
I believe it was Guideline but IDK
Stannah? Idk it’s worth having a guess
I feel Ace.
I also think possibly a modded Stannah or SEA Seatronik 1?
Maybe Jackson modernised them
I like stentorgate
Me too!
How are you able to become part of TJM Lifts? It just makes me wonder since 3 people own the channel. I would like to become part, thats all Im saying.
All enquiries about my second channel can be addressed in the comments section on my second channel. Please direct your comment there. Thanks.
@@MichalM Morgan saying this. I have although you have not responded to any of my comments. Everyone apart from mine, not complaining. I have already made a comment on it although you werent replying so I asked here instead.
@@helenjones4888 Oh sorry, I'll have to have a look. Thanks for letting me know.
Have you ever otis ourope 2001 lift favorite of mine
?
@@MichalM he means have you ever rode a Otis Europa 2001?
@@Class777 Sorry, I didn't understand what they were saying to me. I've been in the one in House of Fraser in Solihull - it's a Europa, and I think it's the "2001" edition.
@@MichalM He's an Ime Crewe troll account, don't bother
Hi, please could you tell me the year that the 5603 otis lift was made - Capacity 21
Firstly, you created a TH-cam account today so that you could comment on this video, to ask me this question?
Secondly, I am happy to answer this question, however I'm not sure what 5603 means. Is there a video of this lift I can refer to on TH-cam? If not, please capture a video of the lift in question.
@@MichalM thank you so much for your reply. It is the lift from tkmaxx Torquay
@@user-qe9qj1eu1h That's not an OTIS lift? The age of the lift is not known. We know that it's been around for a long time, but we're not sure if it's original to the shopping centre. If it is, you can find the shopping centre's opening date / year on the internet, or you can find it in my video of the main lifts at Fleet Walk. I think I mentioned the opening date in the video.
Thank you very much for your help

A fantastic one too! Lifts like these are hard to come by, especially ones with custom announcements!
Thanks for watching!
