Express Lifts still going strong after over 70 years! 

⛔️⚠️ It’s important to mention the many dangers which are present in lift motor rooms. They are not environments for the inexperienced, and one mistake could be the last thing you do. There are exposed terminals with voltages of up to 415 volts. If you touch them, they WILL kill you. Please do not put yourself into this dangerous environment without proper authorisation. ⛔️⚠️

Shows how well built lifts/elevators were back then. Sadly in Singapore they barely even make it beyond 45 years.

Totally awesome, WAIT A MINUTE IT SAYS EXPRESS SMS LIFTS! WOW!

7:48 looks like something was powered by that selenium rectifier and removed - leaving bear ends! Nice detailed close-ups at the end of the video. Creepy looking lift though - all the glass viewing panels look horrible with the metal instead.

At 8:15 upper left you can see a horz bar that pivots on bolt, that prevents both contactors for energizing for whatever reason.

Such a cool piece of kit. The simplicity and asthmatic is amazing.

Tremendous, solid installation! Running fantasticly for over 70 years! Shame that lifts aren’t built like this anymore.

i hate how there is no window but i still love these 1st gens

Oh, heck?!!... That's scares me this elevator to find, heh... That is pretty so weird in that different elevator edge door! Hey, you becareful, what expect indeed are you doing this your job, mate... (Oh, jeez!!) 😨

Very nice and very old express lift! The single speed ones are more fun than 2 speed ones also the motor is kinda weird

Nice. For once some decently maintained express lifts. Where are these?

this looks insanely futuristic in comparison to the year it was installed. i like it a lot!

Wow these are epic where are they?

Shows they build lifts no where near the quality as they used to great video very in depth!

Excellent video, these lifts certainly have a lot of character. Did you see the recent Emails I sent you?
