KEAN UNIVERSITY HIGH SPEED LIFT GALORE
Premiere Time: 11:00 PM November 25
First Lift
Technical Specifications:
This is a very nice lift for a generic & goes 1.5 meters per second (300 F.P.M) making it very fast for its height of only 6b floors. It also behaves differently from some generic lifts as it does not slow down right away when the screen changes to the desired floor. Aside from the way it runs it is just a basic standard Generic that you would see in any modern building that chooses a third-party lift. It has EPCO buttons & was installed in 2010 when the building was built.
Second Lift
Technical Specifications:
Right around the time the Schindler 5500 MRL came out in the USA, Kean University constructed the new building at the edge of campus right next to the main Union Township NJTransit station on the Raritan Rail. The University decided to go with 400AE installs in lieu of 5500 installs and these lifts were installed in 2014 when the building was built. The main lifts in this video have the Schindler 5500 voice (I assume it was an upgrade), HT Premium fixtures & go 1.78 meters per second (350 F.P.M). This lift accelerates so smoothly you can’t tell you’re flying up & down the building at 1.78 m/s. It is amazing & runs almost exactly like a 5500 anyway.
Third Lift
Technical Specifications:
These are my favorite modern lifts on campus because they have so much character to them. Built in September 2016, these lifts boast a high speed of 1.78 m/s just like its sister building across campus. They also serve 6 floors just like the other 2 lifts in film & have Newer Series 2 fixtures on a Gen2 MRL system. These are the least reliable of the 3 as they’ve broken down twice while I was on campus before the pandemic started while the 400AE’s & high speed generics broke down 0 times. The way these accelerate, decelerate & run make them super fun to ride. This whole building brings back Borgata vibes from my trips to Atlantic City in July 2017 & February 2018.
