The NEW  

Filmed with ‪@t3224.elevators_nz‬ and WaygoodOtis.
The day has finally come - the first two new #bluelifts are online. I'm sure many people will be sad to see the end of the old OTIS lifts - and despite what I said in the video, that does also include myself. These lifts have been featured on this channel since its inception, and have been a fan favorite for many years, and for the last 3 years I have been lucky enough to actually be working in this very building!
Replacement was always going to happen here - with cars C1 and C2 out of action for many years, and C3 and C4 constantly prone to faults, the upgrade was also a case of "when" not "if". Old lifts such as these are more prone to failure, due to the aging parts - and these days parts are expensive and harder to source. Plus finding technicians with in-depth knowledge of how old lift technology works is also a challenge.
Let's hope that the new lifts serve the hospital well for many years to come!
