Text Summary of Clinton Township Lift Galore: August 2021

1. Concourse at Beaver Brook 

These lifts are very nice OTIS Series 1 glass hydros from the 80s with digital floor indicators on 211 LVM microprocessor controllers. These are goats. They break down often but they do have their quirks to them, e.g. intelligent leveling, jolty startups & speedy accelerated positioning systems. They are very fast for their rise & what they are as they travel around 135' per minute despite only going a few floors. 3.7 stars on the GC Lift Character Report. 

2. Independence Building 

Dover Impulse lift from the 80s with sticky buttons. This lift has a mirror front & travels a speed of 135' per minute just like the other one. 4.1 stars on the GC Lift Character Report due to its semi loud motor, jolty leveling & very quick startup & smooth stopping. This is the first non OTIS or GAL lift I found in Clinton Township. 

3. Corbit Building 

OTIS Series 1 from the 80s, but this time on a relay logic controller with analog floor indicator in green. This lift is epic & awesome as it vibrates & has a loud motor going up & has a suction sound from the pump going down. The door is quite clunky. 3.5 stars on the GC Lift Character Report. 

4. Quincy Building 

Nearly the same lift as the Corbit building but has only 2 floors & runs slightly differently. It doesn't jolt but starts up very smoothly going up, has a quieter motor, darker cab & higher pitched chimes. This lift is slower going up than it is going down which is the opposite from the Corbit building but still has the same analog floor indicator. It bounces quite a bit before dropping down when going down. 4.1 stars on the GC Lift Character Report.
