Lift filming plans for December 2018

Regarding plans for filming lifts throughout Christmas week 2018, plans for filming lifts in Secaucus have been discussed for the morning of December 22. These plans were made ONLY BECAUSE December 26 is around the corner & I want to get some fresh lift footage from Secaucus in time for my three-year anniversary of lift filming. Had December 26 not been my anniversary, I would not have made plans to go lift filming on December 22. If I go to Secaucus on December 22, then these are the hotels I hope to film lifts at:

  • Residence Inn by Marriott Secaucus Meadowlands
  • Holiday Inn Secaucus Meadowlands
  • Empire Meadowlands Hotel
  • Hyatt Place Secaucus Meadowlands
  • Hampton Inn Secaucus Meadowlands
  • Possibly the Meadowlands Plaza Hotel

Comparison to A.C.

Because of how A.C. went back in August 2018, I will expect the quality of this trip to be of a similar level, but I will always hope it goes even BETTER than the first trip to Atlantic City which took place back in July of 2017. I will monitor the quality of the trip throughout. If it turns out to be better than the first trip to Atlantic City, I will consider Atlantic City for my birthday trip. If it goes as well as a TYPICAL trip throughout the “now renamed” Chattanooga Tennessee Ranking System, then I will save Atlantic City for when I get my license & car.

Future lift filming plans in Secaucus & birthday lift filming plans

As for future plans for lift filming in the town of Secaucus, this will be the 6th and final time I film lifts in the town of Secaucus until I get my driver’s license & car, unless on my 18th birthday the Embassy Suites hotel in the township of Berkeley Heights is not open to the public. In this case, I will hope to film lifts at the Bridgewater Marriott, or another hotel that I do not know the identity of the lifts. Bucket list for lift filming in buildings with unknown lifts:

  • Courtyard Basking Ridge
  • Courtyard Somerset
  • Bridgewater Marriott
  • Hampton Inn Flemington
  • Ingersoll Road office building in Clinton Township
  • Clinton First Aid & Rescue squad in Clinton Town
  • Office buildings in Clinton Town (including Unity Bank)
  • Hilton Short Hills
  • Embassy Suites Parsippany
  • Embassy Suites Berkeley Heights
  • Courtyard Newark Downtown (KONE HORNRT DISC)
  • Courtyard Lebanon in Clinton Township/Lebanon Boro

Other possible lift filming plans in December 2018

I could film a lift on December 14, in Clinton Township, but it is not guaranteed.

I am signing out, and I will be back next Friday (December 7) to discuss other plans for lift filming in Bridgewater and Clinton Townships during the month of April 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...
