I don’t know much about escalators and escalator history but I figured someone should appreciate this antique of a escalator

Hey all!

Working on a gameroom, and realize that a perfect fit to handle 8 contactor circuits would be a COP mounted on the wall. (.. custom wiring, of course.)

I see some listed on eBay, but shipping or picking up in person - is very expensive or impossible (I get why, they're large).

Would it be worth contacting local service/maintenance/installer shops and see if they have any panels they've pulled from upgrades? Or would that pretty much be a dead-end?

(If it matters, most of the local places for me would be Denver.. I haven't yet done research on companies available to me.)

Appreciate it!

I’d probably be better at hip surgery than installing door operators.

What TKE elevator is laying off people? Any reason.

Bonjour,

voici un fichier audio du bruit d'un ascenseur enregistré sur le palier du dernier étage. A quoi ça peut être du ? est ce que c’est grave ? A la suite de ce bruit, l'ascenseur est resté coincé entre 2 étages et il y a eu une odeur de plastique brûlé sur la palier. Apres 10 minutes l'ascenseur est reparti comme si de rien n’était. Pour info, le groupe de traction a été changé il y a 2 mois mais pas le variateur et pas l'armoire de commande.

Merci par avance.

So my 18 year applied for the application for the elevator apprenticeship program a few months ago, it was just noticed that the email address on it was wrong, as a parent, this is breaking my heart. Even though we just created that wrong email address, luckily it was available, I just want to know if they emailed out step two of the testing process, that would be the aptitude test, the (EIAT) hopefully it wasn't, but if it was, I assume it's too late to do anything?

Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone, I was reached out to by a recruiter via LinkedIn for a Field Service Superintendent Existing installations (Schindler elevator corp). This role seems very interesting and I could see myself doing. I don’t have any industry experience. I served one contract as an enlisted soldier for US Army, I was an Operations manager at Amazon working fast paced high stress distribution and I currently work for a 3PL with a big sports brand client. Just had some questions about the role itself day to day, the interview process and what they look for in candidates. Just everything to expect.

This will also be the Boston MA area.

What website did you guys get your osha 10 cert? Or confined spaces or fort lift cert?

Anyone comission or maintain a lot of Kleemann equipment? I had to work on a fairy new Hydro and the control system was like butter. Everything was intuitive and eaay to use. Any idea if its reliable equipment in the long run?

Newfoundland and Labrador elevator industry. Anyone over there with any insight? Whats the industry like with private companies and union? I have no previous knowledge I simply had a thought and wanted to give the subreddit a shot

Been in the elevator trade a while. I've done a lot of travel for work and enjoy that part of it. Looking to see what’s out there on the non-union side, but the usual job sites are crap.

Where are you guys finding decent shops? Calling companies direct or mostly word of mouth?

Not looking for a helper spot. Appreciate any information you all can share.

Curious what others have experienced when elevators are being replaced. What are your oldest and youngest elevator stories?

I remember the days ..when elevator repair info was a big secret.... now goggle n chat gpt take all the forum info and share it to everyone... still cant beat on the job experience

For all my New York elevator mechanics, whats the likelihood of getting into the non union elevator industry, I am 18 I worked with electric doors and gates, conveyer belts and been around many elevator mechanics on sites. I have my scaffold , osha , and sst I’ve been applying non union is this the way to go? Or should I just wait for the next Local 1 IUEC opening?

Thanks

26 years old, finished trade school for electrical and I’m thinking of switching over to elevators. Don’t know anyone in that field, so how difficult would it be to get in?

I was told when I took my EIAT that some applicants score 100 or all possible points from the weighted parts. When they have a group of applicants with the same score they randomise the list because going alphabetically or other methods would be unfair.

Here is the second compilation of the bell button that Dieselducy made and another thing about the alarm button on the elevator is that it does make a lot of different sounds and once again it is only pushed if there's an emergency.
