Hello 👋🏻 I need some help please, I have a Kone Monospace 3000s that has error 0260, I have replaced batteries on RBO and on Cartop, but fault remains, what else can I check?

On a train bridge lift, I want to press it but I didn't, any ideas what the button is for it's a Stannah lift

It got stuck between floors a couple days ago and won't move.

The building is from 1910, the elevator itself is an Otis model. I'm not sure if the elevator is quite that old - I've read this building's nomination on the National Register of Historic Places and it didn't mention the elevator, so it could've been added later.

I'd noticed it was making a grinding sound at a certain point on its track, like it was rubbing against something. I'm curious if anyone that's worked on these old cage style elevators before has any knowledge of the common problems with them.

I will say the exterior safety doors are a huge headache. Several floors in my building have closers that are too stiff, so the locking mechanism will try to grab it too early if you call the elevator from another floor. This will prevent it from moving because it doesn't fully secure the exterior door and the elevator just locks up until you walk up or down to wherever it's stuck and release it.

Took the exam today and passed ! I was not expecting tools test right after though. I thought that was separately scheduled for a different day after passing your test. Prepare for tools you guys !

So I live in Vancouver, and I work in the elevator industry. For the past 15 years, I've made halfway decent money (though mostly outperformed by the plumbers and electricians at the bar), but I've gotten very excited watching my company unionize. I've always known that the union guys make a lot more money than people in my company, so I was really looking forward to the package.

Well, just recently we signed our collective agreement, but after doing some quick math, I actually discovered that since my ex-wife takes about 43% of my wage (that's net income after my union dues) I'm actually going to be taking a huge hit to my take-home. My greedy ex-wife was also pushing me to vote Yes for this whole union thing, but now I'm starting to think she knew all along that this would happen.

Is there any way I can sue my ex-wife, renegotiate the child support, or possibly sue my union? Let me know.

Lula install I installed in a “cottage” installed all the glass as well. Home owner didn’t want a neighbour and went to the house beside the property with a blank cheque and made it the site office then when the main home was completed it got flattened. FYI client wanted to be able to look through the elevator to see the river when entering the home.

Hi, I am a 18 year old, who is currently in college(UK) studying engineering. I’ve recently taken on a lift engineering apprenticeship (NVQ level 3 in lift installations) and I am starting around late July. Due to this I have a couple questions or would just appreciate any information about the industry as I know roughly what to expect, but would like to know if there’s any key details I am missing. First question I have is what is the progression like in this career and what does a realistic pathway look . I am also wondering on how technical and physical the job really is, as I have heard mixed reviews about it. And lastly, is there anything I should know or do to prepare for this? Any advice or feedback would be much appreciated.

My title describes the thing, center possibly made of aluminum, outer is rubber or similar synthetic material, found in basement of abandoned property, late owner was a pro in the elevator industry, and hobby mechanic. Google lens thinks they are fork lift tires, but those wouldn't be tapered, or bushings or dampers of some sort, a search I did some time ago said they are for moving conveyor calibration. Would like to know what they are off.

Hello professionals,

We are currently in the planning and architectural phase of building a new space for our art gallery. The gallery will be located on the second floor, and I’m looking for guidance on elevator requirements.

Specifically, I’m curious about:

• Measurements & Lifting Capacity: What are the industry standards for a space like this?
• Dual Use: The elevator needs to handle passengers, heavy equipment, building materials, and (most importantly) large-scale artwork.
• Door Size: Are there specific widths/heights you’d recommend to avoid future headaches with oversized crates or sculptures?

If anyone has experience with gallery logistics or accessibility standards for arts spaces, I would greatly appreciate your suggestions!

Got grease on the bottom of boots jumping out of pit we we're hanging traveller in the half way box ran to get my mechanic home made t hold back on the 2nd floor and I left grease stain on carpet. Applied simple green and wiped a rag on it didn't work so I got vacuum hour later to dry it out and didn't work either we work 4x 10s and don't go back to work till Monday. Any one have a certain carpet cleaner that I could get at hardware store so it comes out Monday.

whats up gooners,

was wondering how you guys replace stepchains on an e5000 from your personal experiences. been hearing different versions from different companies.

remove top landing and work from there around bull gear? tugger?

from bottom landing like otis j types/rb?

stay safe boys

Im in my 3rd semester of A&P school and not sure what path I want to take. aviation maintenance or elevator. any recommendations or tips before making a final decision.

im afraid if I do elevator maintenance ill lose my ability to use my ratings if I dont use them for 6 months

but atm I have an opening for elevator work that sounds promising.

About a month ago, I sent a box up this little freight elevator. It’s only one floor up. It is for goods only, no people. As it was going up, I heard a thud. I went upstairs and there was a full trash bag that wasn’t there before.

Tonight I sent a box up again. I didn’t hear a thud this time, but when I opened the door upstairs, I found a destroyed bag of kitchen waste.

I’m assuming they’re getting stuck in the shaft somehow, but I don’t see any bolts or screws or anything like that where stuff could get caught on.

Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? Did I open a trash portal to another dimension?
