The climate of Covid and its impact on my lift filming plans

As you may all know, the Coronavirus Pandemic has gotten completely out of hand for the majority of the states in the United States and as a result, I am sorry to say that I am going to have to postpone my lift filming plans past September.

What does this mean for the rest of the summer 2020?

This means that I will not be filming lifts for the rest of summer 2020.

What about the Atlantic City trip?

I will not be going to Atlantic City in August 2020. Even if we end up going to Atlantic City in August 2020, more than likely I won’t be filming many, if any lifts, and any footage I do get of the lifts will be completely botched up due to social distancing standards requiring me to allow for other passengers to ride the lifts, therefore filming lifts will be impractical should I go on a trip to Atlantic City this summer. I am setting the expectation in advance that I won’t be filming much if any lifts in Atlantic City if I go.

What about Secaucus?

The Secaucus trip scheduled for July 11 is now canceled. I am sorry for this inconvenience but this has to be done to avoid the spread and contact of Coronavirus COVID.

What about those four lift filming plans for Kean & Short Hills?

Those are postponed until March 2021. More info soon.

When is the next update?

Hopefully soon. Ciao.

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...

Found the source of the problems with my PC

I am proud to finally tell y’all that I believe I have found a definite source of the problems I have been experiencing with my Windows PC over the past few days. It was because of a faulty Windows 10 preview update which was affecting the Windows 10 Recovery Environment. Luckily, I have found a trustworthy program (free of malware) which I could use to debug errors in my PC at any time, minor or major. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s happened when I tried to fix windows PC’s in the past. I am still taking  every precaution possible to further decrease the chance of my Windows PC breaking down or crashing. As a matter of fact, my PC almost crashed  this morning , but luckily, I was able to hard-restart the PC to get it working again by holding the power button down for 15-20 seconds. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s h...

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...
