DECEMBER 2018: LIFT FILMING PLANS

In December 2018, I do not have much of any plans to film lifts outside of Clinton/Bridgewater Townships. However, because December 26 will be my 3 year anniversary since I started filming lifts, I will choose to film a lift locally in Clinton Township. 

As for December 15, I was originally supposed to go to Secaucus AND Elizabeth. I am still fishy on going to these two cities/towns after what went down in Atlantic City this past August, but I will be more motivated to go to Secaucus & / or Elizabeth specifically for my 3-year anniversary. I will go only to film a COUPLE LIFTS to premiere on December 26. Plus, I have my driving permit, so I will more than likely be driving. If I go to Secaucus, I definitely want to film the Embassy Suites lifts & the Residence Inn which has OTIS Gen2 lifts at least. As for Elizabeth, I hope to film the 7 story Impulse hydro & / or the 8-story KONE HORNRTDISC lifts.

As for Christmas break, I highly doubt we’re going to Hartford (at this point, I could care much less about going anyway). However, if I do go to Hartford, I want to film at least TWO LIFTS to premiere for 12.26.2018 at 11:00 AM & 11:00 PM. 

I am signing off & will be back on NEXT Friday at 5:15 PM to discuss my lift filming plans for February 2019.

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...

A QUICK ANALYSIS OF EACH OF THE LIFTS AT BRIDGEWATER MALL IN BRIDGEWATER TOWNSHIP

I do not have much time to elaborate on every single detail of the lifts at the Bridgewater Mall in Bridgewater Township, so I will try to narrow down my analyses as quick as possible. I have no time to include pictures as visuals either, so you’ll just have to refer to the attached YouTube video below. The Mall itself Bridgewater Commons Mall is a mall from the early 1980’s that has gone through quite a few renovations and expansions over the years. Inside the mall, the original anchors are Macy’s and Bloomingdales, which both have Westinghouse lifts, still fully original to the 1980’s construction project. The carpark was added in during the 1990’s and features the first lift I filmed which was the Dover glass hydraulic. Inside the mall, there is a food court on the third floor with three sets of escalators throughout the main part of the mall, with three more sets inside the multi-level stores (Bloomingdales, Macy’s, and Lord & Taylor). The majority of the escalators are Schin...

Paramus Lift Galore: June 2022

Written on behalf of the Rising Salamander Academy Lift Galore Date: June 17 Lift Galore Time: 5:00 PM EST It's been a long time since I've last filmed lifts in person, a whole whopping half a year to be exact. I'm excited to be back, but not for long, since I have to finish up my time at Kean University & focus on graduating on time. But for the mean time, let's enjoy our summer recess, film the best lifts we can film & make the most of it! Westinghouse Lift Where: Macy's, Garden State Plaza Time Filmed: 10:10 AM (June 10) Grade: B+ Speed to Height Ratio: 8.1:1 (Fast) Landings Served: 3 The first lift of this lift galore is a 1950's Westinghouse lift which was later modernised by a generic company between the 1980's & early 2000's with EPCO Flushline fixtures on the outside, EPCO Circleline fixtures on the inside. This lift has a speed to height ratio of 8.1:1 which makes it fast for the application & number of landings. This lift is loc...
