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.

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...
