THE CORBIT BUILDING LIFT IN CLINTON TOWNSHIP

Hey all, this will be a quick analysis of the lift at the Corbit Building in Clinton Township, NJ.

This lift is a 3 story, early 1980’s model OTIS Hydro 211 with Relay Controls. Upon taking a first look into this lift back in May 2019, I had some doubts about how this lift would work, so I sent it up to floor 3, listening to the motor, before it came back down to my floor. Upon entering the lift, you’re greeted with a nice wooden interior with a charming red carpet floor. The doors are metal and so is the panel. The door open and close buttons are green, while the alarm button is yellow.

How does it run?

Upon the door closing, there is a 2-second delay, as the motor kicks into gear. You’re pushed upward until you hit a speed of roughly 40 meters per minute going up (which is very fast for this building), taking only 5 seconds to reach floor 2. The button goes out as the door opens, unlike the Beaver Brook lifts where the button goes out as the lift is leveling. These do not have intelligent leveling. Rather, the door opens when the lift is perfectly in line with the floor landing. In short, words cannot describe how amazing this lift is. It has an epic motor going up, with forceful starts & leveling is pretty quick. I have no time to elaborate further, but I will be sure to visit this lift again during the winter of 2020 to write a full analysis of what makes this lift so amazing.

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...
