Otis Traction Elevators at Piedmont Hospital South Parking | Tokyo
Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
This is what they used to look like: http://www2.isye.gatech.edu/~jjb/misc/elevators/images/south-parking-piedmont-hospital.jpg There elevators were originally made by Schindler, but were recently modernized by Otis, who retained the brainlessness of marking floors by colors, but at least improved the layout of the panel. This is certainly a unique elevator, especially with the weird sounding motor.

What Series is the OTIS Elevator? I heard the motor.
-
Here's a better idea. "Ground floor. Yellow level. Going down."
-
Wow. This is the first elevator i've seen where the position indicator doesn't give you an idea of how high up you are.
-
whats white??
-
@dea41396returns I brought up the possibility of it being a Gen2, but did not actually say it's a Gen2.
-
@revo8778 well you're calling it a gen2
-
@dea41396returns Excuse me, but this WAS IN FACT a Schindler.
-
there ya go with your brand/type ASSumptions again...
-
Might be a Gen2. They may have ripped out all of the Schindler stuff.
-
The sound and Display is out of sync. This elevator is weird too.
-
I remember the old Rike's/Lazarus parking garage in Downtown Dayton OH also using colors to designate its levels. It used the old-style indicators. It was torn down summer 2002 and replaced with a low-rise garage for the new Schuster Arts Center.

The elevator is very interesting
-
I was hoping someone could get a video of these. These (mindlessly structured) elevators were made famous by a feature on an elevator panel page, which you have noted. God knows what Schindler was thinking for the originals and OTIS seems to have cleaned up the concept, despite it being completely bizarre. They were really determined to use this colored scheme because they actually took away the classic floor indicator and left their marquee indicator they normally offer as optional. Weird!!

P-L-A-S-E another retake from this parking garage elevators!!!
-
Green level = level 7? Black level = level 6? Red level = hospital 5th floor? Tan level = hospital 4th floor? Purple level = hospital 3rd floor? Orange level = hospital 2nd floor ("BR" at north parking)? Blue level = hospital 1st floor? *Yellow level = ground floor? Pink level = level B1? White level = level B2? Brown level = level B3?
-
the Yellow level has the ground! Brown level = level "B3"!
-
