12.29 UPDATE TO THE RANKING SYSTEM

The ranking system is getting a new name, and Charlotte has been dethroned

The “former” Charlotte Carolina Ranking System received a new name over the past couple of months. It is now called the Chattanooga Tennessee Ranking System. In addition, the city of Charlotte has been dropped down to fifth place on the ranking system, with New Jersey being the third state instead of the second.

Here are the first 25 cities on the Chattanooga Tennesee Ranking System:

  1. Chattanooga
  2. Nashville
  3. Gatlinburg
  4. Knoxville
  5. Charlotte
  6. Asheville
  7. Raleigh
  8. Greensboro
  9. Atlantic City
  10. Secaucus Town
  11. Liz City
  12. Union Township
  13. Rutherford City
  14. Edison Township
  15. Lyndhurst Township
  16. Woodbridge Township
  17. Millburn/Shorthills Township
  18. Freehold Township
  19. Manalapan Township
  20. Howell Township
  21. Morris Township
  22. Bridgewater Township
  23. Clinton Township
  24. Greenville
  25. Columbia

In addition, Oklahoma City, Salt Lake City, Detroit, Portland and Staten Island have been added to the system upon watching more good lift videos from those cities. I have been intrigued by the majority of lift videos I have seen from these five cities. In addition, I am content with every lift I had ever been on while on Staten Island, which is why it has been crowned 76th place, one place behind the town of Greenburgh in New York. Honolulu, upon discovering that the city has a bountyful of awesome OTIS, Schindler and KONE lifts to film through video-inspired research, has earned a placement of 61 on the Chattanooga Tennessee Ranking System.

During the process of revision, I have decided to directly compare the character of the lifts from four potentially superior Tennessee cities to Charlotte, and each city in Tennessee consistently revealed better results. Charlotte has therefore been knocked down to fifth place, and Chattanooga has been awarded the crown.

New Jersey is the state with the most amount of cities, towns and townships, numbering a whopping 15 areas (3 cities, 1 town, 11 townships).

Starting June 2019, if I have my driver’s license and car, I will begin filming lifts regularly within the states of New Jersey and / or Pennsylvania to discover more cities, towns and townships which have good lifts.

I am signing off now, and will be back on January 1st 2019 to discuss lift filming plans until I get my driver’s license and car.

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...
