First elevator video of 2018! Also, thanks so much for 4,000 subscribers!
This past Friday found me driving around the Schaumburg and Roselle area, which is an area I usually only visit in the school bus with my driver, when we are doing our District 20 routes. District 20 had the day off, but I still went to work to monitor on a District 200 route in the morning. When dispatch told me they didn't need me for the rest of the day, I thought I'd drive up here, have some lunch, check out the Metra station, and film some elevators!
Of the places I pass on a daily basis in the bus, this Holiday Inn Express is one of them, and I've always wondered about the elevators.
It was very nice to walk in and see a nice ThyssenKrupp installation with Aurora fixtures, which aren't incredibly common in my area. These elevators were installed sometime in 2008, when the hotel was built, based on Google Earth historical imagery, making these probably some of the last ThyssenKrupp units to have been put in with Aurora. These are your typical hotel elevators, with 2500 LB capacities, serving 4 floors.
Overall, these are some very good-running elevators in great shape. I noted that they were very quiet. The motors can only faintly be heard in the cars, especially with the second car having the fan turned on. The only pet peeve I have is how the original button for the 3rd floor on one of the panels was replaced with a MAD Sherman-BS button. Although I love the lights and pressing action on these buttons, having one of these on here kind of takes away from the look of the panel. Great job to the hotel for keeping these elevators clean and in good-running condition.
