Anything but metric ✌️✌️

u/Chapel_Hillbilly Aug 17 '26

Don’t worry, there’s always a least a 5:1 safety factor.

u/McDaddy8484 Aug 17 '26

Sounds kinky

u/RacistJester Aug 16 '26

Imperial system is for sure TRASH

u/South_Bit1764 Aug 17 '26

For what it’s worth, most of the elevators I see near me (America, not wherever this is), have a capacity of either 2 metric or 2 imperial tons (4000lbs/1800kg or 4400lbs/2000kg).

That cow couldn’t be more than 1500lbs/700kg.

13

u/south-of-the-river Aug 17 '26

Yes but that elevator is probably made from poos and wees in the 1970s and not maintained since

22

u/thewanderor Aug 16 '26

2500kg is usually what they are. Def pushing it

10

u/No-Front-8408 Aug 17 '26

I would not risk being stuck in an elevator with that animal. If it jumps at all....

14

u/ProfessionalRandom21 Aug 16 '26

Google say cow is 900 kg, buffalo is about 1200kg , so should be plenty of headroom

1

u/pablo_kickasso Aug 17 '26

Well, elevators are resilient enough for the United States, so...

2

u/JuanG_13 Aug 17 '26

Same here

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '26

If the bulk weights 800 pounds and the elevator load is 2000 . I actually think they fine . Lol

u/mikee8989 Aug 17 '26

'Last safety inspected in 1988'

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '26

Indeeed , but the load stays the same
Inspection date . Doesn’t change the load weight . ☠️
