I was told "DON'T RIDE THE LIFT (or 'elevador') ON THE RIGHT' because it keeps getting stuck. In fact the contractor I was working with got stuck in it a couple of days before. It was turned off and a sticker covered the call button - "STOP - LIFT IS UNDER MAINTENANCE". It's soon to also be modernised. Everyone was to ONLY use the newly opened lift on the left instead.
The thing is, it's on my bucket list to get PROPERLY stuck in a lift. So the next day the sticker was still covering the call button, but the lift was SWITCHED BACK ON for some reason. PERFECT CHANCE, but no matter how many times I rode it, IT DIDN'T BREAK DOWN FOR ME :/
However, once the engineers were on lunch break, it gave me an opportunity to explore the unlocked motor room!
I have some complicated projects that I'm editing, which means that usually you don't see an upload from me...! So last night I edited this video in JUST 3 HOURS! That's a record time for me, as usually it takes 3 weeks or 3 months! (in my 'spare time' of course, not that I have much with everything else that's going on)
Admittedly, not one of my best videos, but whilst I'm editing the other larger projects, I thought I'd upload this one to give you something to watch!
Also notice the BELTS (left lift) replacing CABLES (right lift).
And don't you think that the new lift motor look like an OLD FASHIONED PHOTOGRAPHY CAMERA!?
COMING SOON:
1) HARRIHEALEY02
The return of HARRIHEALEY02! Harri started his channel even before me, in 2007. He had some excellent content, and we met up many times and found some really old lifts. Harri was known for somehow getting lifts stuck! Unfortunately, in about 2014 he accidentally deleted his account when he thought he was logged into a different account and, although he was still there, his account was renamed. Well, I've kept in contact with him for years and years now, we met up and did some filming!

2) 1960s SCHINDLER LIFT
Me and Harri were given a whole afternoon of unrestricted filming of an old Schindler lift. We record 64GB worth of video. 5 CAMERA ANGLES. Man... this is a mamouth editing task! Sample at end of video.
3) VINTAGE HOTEL LIFT
Sample at end of video!

THE MRMATTANDMRCHAY CHANNEL, established 2009:
I'm passionate about uploading quality and interesting videos for YOU, my audience.
What is my channel about? "Old lift machinery made interesting", old air-raid sirens, prehistoric alarm equipment - things that I find fascinating and I hope you will too. If "I" don't find it interesting - IT DOESN'T GET UPLOADED!
I always spend a lot of time editing my videos with animations, video in-sync with music and voice overs to make them this way. I'm also a perfectionist!
My moto - "Quality NOT Quantity" - spending a month editing a video is not a rarity!
But without you, I'm nothing here. Thank you so much for watching.
...mrmattandmrchay is me (Matt) and my son Chay.

08:48, excellent startup sound.

A very nice video that shows an example of a new winch and an old one next to it. Although I do not appreciate the gearless winches, Schindler has at least made the effort to put it back in the machine room and I find it better than having it in shaft, I repeat it is a beautiful video.

Welcome to Portugal, Matt! :-)

Filmed in Portugal, I suspect. However, never seen such a botch job in my life. The Schindler lifts are crap, especially those with controllers from Rekoba. I've seen one such lift controller activating both up and down contactors at the same time! Bang! And the other lift sharing the same room exceeding the travel limit as well.

about the bucket list: I already managed to get myself stuck. That was when I received the inspection report for our lift, stating that the weight blocks on the cabin roof must be either removed or fixed. So I thought, let's have a look at these things. I opened the hatch in the cabin, sneaked through it and in fact saw those weight blocks. Bad idea, however, as the hatch as a security switch, which locks all lift functions, including opening the cabin doors. And that switch does not reset itself, after you close the hatch. For a moment, I considered climbing onto the roof and free myself by bringing the lift into inspection mode. But I thought that I had done enough stupid things, that day, and the service needed to be called anyway to bring the lift back into normal operation. So I pressed the alarm button and in order to avoid unnecessary cost for finding the fault, I immediately confessed to the technician what I did, which was a bit awkward. So opening that hatch might be a good way to work on that bucket list of yours.

If these lifts need fixing, why didn't the building owners shut it off? Anyways, a nice motor room tour. I can't wait to see the new videos.

Another mrmattandmrchay marsterpiece! Looking forward to those future uploads! :-)

Yes! The vintage hotel lift! There is one of these in Melbourne, Australia. Sadly, non-operational. 😬 The "newer" one that was installed is approx. 70's vintage (I think).
-
When I was a kid, I pressed the lift call button, and a few seconds later, I heard a crash and ran!(early 90's it was at the time, probably was a 1980s or 70s hydraulic lift) No joke!!!
-
These elevators are in Portugal. The right one is a Grupnor, a portuguese brand that has quite a good number of lifts installed in Portugal.
-
Yes, the cover over the hoist belts does resemble a focusing bellows from a large format camera or an very early fold out medium format camera.
-
hmmm 3300 machine-room replacement it would seem, interesting the old lift lives on despite the new one being service
-
I thought the new lift motor looked like a washing machine motor!
-
i followed your channel and gave it some love.
-
That sign are in Portuguese (my country) where is this?
-
Are you ever going to come to Australia? We have some really nice old lifts here!
-
Hi I love your channel
-
Very nice of you to come to Portugal. While I was watching some of your videos yesterday I was thinking, these guys never come to my country, and just now I saw a video of you here. What building was that you're in?
-
Elevadoe means....you're in Portugal! I was there for about two months because I worked in a cruise ship and we had a route to the Madeira and Azores islands once every two weeks. I went to Lisbon at one time (only once) and got the chance to ride the famous "Waygood" Santa Justa Lift from 1905! Can't wait to see that Schindler wheel!

Touching that yellow wheel: the one pain that even god can’t stand
