The elevator got stuck! 1986 Thorvald Sætre trion elevators with unrealiable modern controllers

2018-03-17 1

A routine safety-stop test causes the right elevator to get stuck below the top floor during repositioning. I managed to escape myself by opening the door lock manually as it was within reach from inside the elevator car. After that i rode the left elevator normally without any safety-stop tests as i just couldnt take the risk of both elevators to get stuck. This little hospital only has these two elevators.\r

Dont ever do cheap modernizations on old elevators - this sort of unreliability is what you will get.\r
\r
These elevators are located at Horten Legevakt (on-duty doctors). Its not really a hospital, more like a little local medical centre.\r
\r
The floor plan at 06:50 in the video shows a third elevator in the upper right corner - a small passenger elevator. I searched for it but found nothing. I think it has been removed many years ago.\r
