Top 5 Best Lifts at Kean University (Locations UNDISCLOSED)

 Top 5 Best Lifts at Kean University

I showcase to you the top 5 best lifts at Kean University.

4 & 5. Old Cesco & Arrow Lifts

Both of these lifts are okay lifts & there isn’t really much character or personality to them, but these are the worst lifts you can find at Kean University. Location of specific lifts within the university will not be disclosed for privacy reasons. These are generic hydros with GAL fixtures installed by Cesco and Arrow, respectively. The one on the left was installed in the 60s by a generic lift company but then later modernised in the mid-2000’s by Cesco. The one on the right was installed in the early 90s by Arrow, then got slightly modernised in the mid 2000’s just like the Cesco. Both travel at a speed of 0.5 meters per second & they both rank at 2.5 stars on General Chicago’s 6-point Lift Character Report.

3. High Speed Generic

This lift is one of my personal favorites due to the way it runs. However, it looks like a basic standard Generic but it’s only 10% of the equation. There isn’t much to say about this lift other than it is generic. It ranks 3.5 stars on the General Chicago’s Lift Character Report, within the top 5% of generic lifts in general.

2. 🔥🔥 EVEN OLDER LIFT

This ‘57 top-drive, dry-powered (possibly piston-pump) hydraulic lift was absolutely awesome. It only goes 0.18 meters per second (~35 FPM) going up & around 0.4 m/s (80 FPM) going down, but it is still a very fun lift. It has a super epic motor going up which sounds unlike any other hydraulic I’ve been on. This epic lift is also very small & is one of the few not to have broken down yet during my time on campus. It is very nice & according to the General Chicago’s Lift Character Report, ranks in at 4.3 stars making it the second best lift at the university. This is only a five minute sprint from the #1 spot.

1. 🔥🔥 VERY OLD LIFT

This ‘61 Armor, located in one of the theater buildings, is an impressive piece of heritage. Coupled with a very slight modernisation involving replacement of the buttons with new GAL buttons in the 80s & a super epic motor & ride character, this lift steals the crown with additional 2-speed leveling & exceptionally smooth & quiet door movement. It makes a lot of noise in the shaft but it just adds to the character. According to the General Chicago Lift Character Report, this lift ranks in at 4.6 stars making it EPIC & AWESOME!

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...

LIFT FILMING AGENDA UPDATE 1.25.2019 & WILL CHICAGO BE CROWNED THE NEW KING?

Chicago holds a high possibility of being crowned first place . What if I told you that Chicago has some rare and exotic lifts that you probably won’t find in many other places in the U.S.? That is an existence a lift filmer will be delighted with when they go to the city of Chicago. My four figures of reference were: WI Sirens and Elevators Elevators of Lake County CHI Elevators Windy City Elevators Because I have found so many outstanding Montgomery, Dover, SchindlerHaughton, Westinghouse and KONE lifts throughout the city of Chicago, it wouldn’t be sensible for me to write it all under one big blog post, because it would be a big waste of time for me to go into big, elaborate detail on what made each lift stand out. What I found on YouTube in terms of Chicago lifts Mitsubishi and Fujitec These lift filmers have walked around the city of Chicago filming some super nice lifts, and in the process of watching YouTube videos over the past few months, I have found that Ch...

QUICK RUNDOWN OF THE NORMAL BEHAVIOR OF A 700A

Tallest 700A’s I have been on Arguably, at 20 stories, these have been the tallest Schindler 700A’s I have EVER been on, and the first I’ve been on in a hotel. However, I have noticed some interesting characteristics of the Schindler 700A in mid to high rise applications. Epic lifts indeed To start off, these lifts had absolutely incredible acceleration, deceleration and leveling. They take off like rockets and travel at a mindblowing speed of 120 meters per minute, despite serving a travel distance of 55-60 meters. The deceleration is similar to the Schindler 700A’s at the Nordstrom store at the Mall at Short Hills, as it smoothly phases into its full deceleration mode. In terms of character, these lifts do tend to make a little bit of noise and shake on the way up and down the tower. Car 3 makes a very loud screeching noise as it accelerates towards level 17 going down, which I find to make the ride even more fun. These lifts were installed in 1993, which gives them even more 199...
