Schindler 330A HT Standard Lift Criticism

It is argued within the lift filming community that the Schindler 330A is one of the most boring modern lifts on the market to film. Well, in response to a lot of roasting of the Schindler HT & 330A hydraulic lift product by a slew of lift photographers, I have created this book post as an adverse reaction to that claim & here I am going to give you examples which contrast to the beliefs of the US Lift filming community.

They have NO character!

This is absolutely NOT TRUE! The Schindler 330A may look boring because it’s a standard lift you see in every day low rise buildings nowadays, but there are very interesting hidden elements within the 330A lift that any ordinary lift photographer wouldn’t be willing to pay attention to, including:

Squeaky doors
Instantaneous acceleration, deceleration & mild plop leveling
Loud motors
Runaway floor indicators

And quite frankly, while I was filming the Schindler 330A HT lift you see in the header picture, those were only a few of the hidden characterful elements I was able to pay attention to while filming.

A basic form of Schindler HT PREMIUM 330A hydraulic would rank at a 10 / 15 on the lift criticism chart:

CHARACTER: 12 / 15
STYLE: 6 / 15
CLASS: 13 / 15
FINAL SCORE: 10 / 15

This is the score of a typical publicly accessible lift in Charlotte North Carolina. Some Schindler 330A lifts may have a character score ranging from 6 to 10, while others 13 to 14. As far as how it runs, I am pretty impressed with what I have noticed when filming this Schindler HT Premium 330A lift & I’m glad I had the opportunity to film this. The worst lift at the Tropicana hotel in Atlantic City is also a Schindler HT VR 330A lift.

Why Schindler & KONE make the best traction lifts

Over the past 2 & a half years of filming lifts at different buildings all over the Eastern Seaboard, I have managed to film a handful of OTIS, Schindler, ThyssenKrupp & KONE traction lifts. Here is my assumption: Schindler & KONE make the best traction & MRL traction lifts of any of the 4 major lift brands. Of course, this could be based on personal bias, but it doesn’t go without knowledge that Schindler lifts, are in fact, more efficient time-based than let’s say, ThyssenKrupp lifts. Here are some things that I really love about Schindler & KONE traction lifts. Their fast acceleration / leveling It is no surprise that Schindler & KONE have some of the fastest average accelerating rates of any major lift brand. This is because Schindler & KONE have a perfect reference-tackle system, which is almost unbeatable by standards of other lift brands. One thing I have noticed when riding Schindler lifts is even at low speeds (200-400 FPM), you head feels like...

THE OTIS IN ANAHEIM

Before writing this report, let me quickly give you some background on the lifts and escalators that I have seen during my time at DisneyLand in Anaheim, California with my family. Brief Overview While I was at DisneyLand in Anaheim, I have encountered four sets of very tall MontgomeryKONE escalators, a set of two very fast MontgomeryKONE traction units (partially outdoor as the first landing had a rear door that opened on the outside of the building), this OTIS hydro here that I managed to ride and film & another OTIS hydro that I didn’t get to ride nor film. These lifts, regardless, were still very awesome lifts, but for now, I will be going into a description of this amazing lift. What made this lift so amazing? This particular lift is so amazing because it’s a full-blown commercial hydraulic lift installed fully outdoors , which is rather unusual for an outdoor lift. This alone made it amazing. Upon first glance, it looks like a pretty standard lift that you would typical...
