Use it like a real lift. Warning : Loud noises ! Part 2 of the description : Also, this lift has Sprinte EV (Electra Vitoria) ASP 116 logic with a solid state with soft start motor starter which is very rare for Electra Vitoria ASP 116 hydraulic logic as the motor starters are usually direct on line/solid state without soft starter or basic star delta starter for those controllers. This logic controller works reliably on this lift despite being cheap. Also, this building was raided a few weeks ago by the police as 4 apartments at floor 2 were the local Nottingham secret base of the villain network known as « The Enemies >:( ». 16 Karens, 9 Evil Owls and 3 Evil Sirens were arrested by the Nottingham police during the operation ! These villains actually kidnapped the owners of these flats to turn them into a secret base ! The kidnapped people were detained inside an abandoned building built in July 2007 until the police raided the place, arrested the 12 Karens who were there and rescued all of the kidnapped people ! This building was Hoffmann’s offices & factory Hoffmann is a very very small fictional company which made plant pots between July 2007 and January 2023. In January 2023, they went bankrupt and the building was abandoned. This building was the only building owned and used by Hoffman. The building is now being turned into a retail park. The building has 2 lifts : A 2007 Oakland roped hydro which is currently being refurbished by Orona and a big new Orona 3G MRL which is currently being installed. - The layout of this building : https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1049641068/ - Motor room door of this lift : https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1049487173/ - Refurbished 2007 Oakland hydraulic lift : https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1051369027/ - Big new Orona 3G MRL traction : https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1051622899/

Slightly modded 1993 Otis Europa 2000 lift… Technical informations : - Brand : Otis (Upgraded by Orona) - Year : 1993 (Upgraded in May 2005) - Type : Roped hydraulic single ram with motor room - Floors : 7 (-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) - Machine : Moris hydraulic pump (Replaced with a GMV T3 hydraulic pump with GMV 3010 mechanical valve) - Fixtures : Series 1 (Call buttons replaced with unknown DMG BL series with pillowed square frame + unknown DMG BL door close button added + Orona Arca 2 door jamb arrows added) - Position of the motor room : At -1 - Starter type : Star-delta (Now solid state with soft start) - Speed : 0.63 m/s (Now 1 m/s) - Phone : Unknown (Now 2010s Safeline phone) - Voice : This lift had no voice originally (Old Drucegrove voice added during the 2005 mod) - Logic : Otis (Replaced with Sprinte Electra Vitoria ASP 116 while the 2005 upgrade) - Doors : Otis (Now Fermator) - Location : 30 Hungry Duck Avenue, Nottingham, UK - More infos : This lift is located at a weird and very small council estate built in 1955. This building which is made of concrete blocks is 7 storey tall (basement included) even though it only has 18 flats in total (3 flats per floor and the only floor with no flats is of course -1, so there are 30 flats in total since 5 x 6 = 30). Also, it had no lift originally which is rather strange since this building has 7 levels. Between January and April 1993, a shaft made of red bricks has been built outside of the building, a motor room has been created in the basement and this Otis lift has been built and commissioned. This one is actually a single ram roped hydraulic which is a really odd choice for a 7 floor tall building. In February 2003, something really bad happened : A lightning destroyed the old 1955 electrical board which was already very decrepit. This also damaged the lift electrical board from 1993, the controller and pump unit. The lift was completely broken due to that and the whole building had no power. All of the residents have been temporarily relocated in some temporary bungalows until May 2005. Meanwhile, the entire building was under refurbishment : The asbestos has been completely removed, the facades have been cladded with glass wool and stainless steel, the interior has been fully renewed, including all doors, all windows, all light switches, all power sockets, all light fixtures and all of the building’s electrical, ventilation and heating equipment has been replaced. The lift has also been modded : All of the landing and car doors have been replaced with Fermator ones, all call stations have been replaced with those DMG ones with both up and down buttons including the ones at -1 and 5 which is a bit odd, a DMG door close button has been added, the cab has been repainted, some Orona arrows have been added, a Drucegrove voice was added and everything in the MR has been replaced. All of the shaft equipment is still fully original (cab, shaft lights, inspection control, hydraulic piston and shaft light switches) apart from the doors. Turns out, this mod is not a downgrade but it’s actually an improvement but there are 2 things which are a bit disappointing : 1), they used flimsy DMG buttons and 2), the hydraulic takes quite a long time to charge. But other than that, this mod is good because the speed has been increased from 0.63 m/s to 1 m/s which is a great speed for a hydraulic, it now has a door close button, the doors are fast, the levelling is very efficient for a hydraulic and it’s got epic pre-doors ! This lift is in a pretty good shape for a 7 floor tall and 30 year old side chassis hydraulic lift which still has it’s original mechanical components apart from the hydraulic pump (The previous one burnt out because a lightning hit the building’s main electrical board which has been replaced in 2005 with a new one which now has a lighting protection device). All of the DMG buttons are still original and are in good shape despite how flimsy they are. Although, this lift starts with a big bump when going up and makes a lot of rattling sounds, so it runs quite rough but other than that, it’s in a really good condition despite being a 30 year old hydro lift which serves 7 floors. Also, the lift car is still mostly original (Apart from the painting and doors which have been replaced. Also, the door close button, arrows and phone have been added later). Plus, a sticker which says « This lift has been upgraded by Orona in May 2005 » was put on the COP once the mod was complete ! Part 2 of the description is in « Instructions ».
