An update on South Quay [February 2024] 

It's pretty standardized at this point, "lift" is used for platform/small lifts that go a small distance and are a proper elevator. Elevator is used for proper elevators that go any distance, has a counterweight etc and uses regular parts. We can thank Schindler/Kone for this.

​@@professionalineverything No thanks

​@@JP_TaVeryMuch ahahaha, i see the comedic effect kicking in.

nty

@@Mr_ButterKatze if you don't like it try asking the elevator companies.

I think engines becoming more efficient is very different to motors being run at faster speeds.

As well as MRL lifts, there are other things about the quality and size of the concrete structure. 130 meters is the height where the building design changes to a high rise design. Buildings 130 meters or less have a very standard design concrete frame. Also, within the last 10 years, it seems less common that residential buildings are built between 140 and 170 meters, as it seems that if a building is going to exceed 130 meters (not including a spire and roof decorations) then they might as well build it to at least 170 meters or more (if they can get it past planning).

@@benolifts thanks

Ibigay mo na!!!

@@dobolgreensadobolb K?

In estate agent speak, a studio apartment. In plain English, a bedsit, albeit a posh one.

The luxury apartment I slept in was quite weird. Even though it was made to look ultra luxury and had loads of tech and modern features, the room layout was weird. It was a 1 bedroom apartment which had 2 bathrooms. The main combined living and dining room was large, there was a good sized bouncy (which most people don't end up using), and the bedroom was tiny. I just can't see how anyone would want their space used like this. Why 2 bathrooms.

​@@benolifts You don't want your guests using your ensuite bog. They might find things in your medecine cabinet.

BRO HE IS ENGLISH

Considering I am a lift enthusiast, I like to see over engineered lifts. I would prefer heavily used buildings, even very low rise ones, to have a motor room. If I was in government I would limit MRLs to 50 meters, which is very different to the current 130 meter limit.

This correspond To approx 18 levels am I right or am I wrong ?

@@JulesMauuary-Maetz Thats what I would limit them to. I have seen MRL lifts with 43 floors. Such as the sideman tower in Stratford.

@@benolifts I am also a lift enthusiast too. Over engineered lifts are Nice To see indeed but maybe very heavy duty Kone Monogoods or 5500s or Eurolift would be suitable for heavy duty if not medium duty application (e.g shopping center) but I am not sure 🤔. But MRLs are not as solid as MR lifts indeed. But to me even basic lifts can do the job because I very rarely film lifts... But Ive been in a couple of very crap lifts such as a GMV HomeLifty that goes 0.15 m/s at St Denis de La Réunion Rolland Garros Airport and 2 IMEM 0.15 m/s lifts at London Science Myseum. The closests lifts To where I live are 3 MX06 2nd gen EcoDiscs at a fairly small scale train station but they have a proper chassis (And are much better than TS Stannah's) ! There is also a rather cheap Sprinte Electra Vitoria hydraulic lift with DMG B5 inox buttons but the inside buttons got replaced (slap on bodge mod) with ugly and plasticky Sodimas buttons located in a theater...And Guess what ? The staff left all the secret floors unlocked and I went down To the spooky bassement ! This lift was quite wobbly and charged the hydraulic quite quick IMO (I think thats because its got a solid state starter instead of a star delta and it took about 1-2 seconds To charge the hydraulic). This lift is an addition from the late 90s or early 2000s. The worst things about it is the fact that it can only take 1 call at 1 time, it has very irritating door timer delays and the Selcom door operators made horrid sounds last time I was here. This lift has 2 doors on 90° (but no diagonal chassis as its a roped hydraulic side chassis lift ☹), it was quite Noisy and made some rubbing sounds but still a rather healthy lift (Well at least it looks) and Im not sure but it seems to have some sort of slight pre doors. This is also a 7 landing hydro and there is no voice and it was inspected just 1 day before I used it. So I have mixed opinions on this cheap and very strange lift. What do you think about my reply ?

@@benolifts and I remember the 36 floors Otis Gen2 (aka Craptis GenPoo in this case as ElevatorsInRussia would say)

Can't do them as they are actively used as a tourist attraction

I went there. The best lifts had been replaced by the time I got there. I tried for an hour to surf an express but there was constantly too many people about. I gave up in the end.

Yeah I agree with this one. I refuse to believe that the motor is the bottleneck.

@@jakewynn KONE motors ain't Chinese, just pair them up with a suitable KONE VFD for the application for 0 over current errors, the only way to know if the motor is being pushed too hard is the windings blow up.

@@professionalineverything yeah or if the windings start to fuse together which can impact the performance of the motor

​@@jakewynnonce the coating is eroded it will be a direct short. So it's either 100% or fault.
