That Rumbling Noise Was Epic

A library in my childhood town had a ThyssenKrupp Impulse that has a motor SO LOUD, the staff tried their best to try and reduce as many rides as possible! It wasn’t low on oil or anything, but it was a TERRIBLE type of motor as it vibrates the entire building and makes the lights flicker when it starts going up. The elevator itself was in pretty decent condition tho

Now that it's 2 years later, how is this elevator holding up? And when it was low on fluid (in a rather misbehaving manner), did you by any chance report this elevator problem to anyone, so they could have it replaced?

I have not ridden it since I moved onto another school. They did fix it in the end, so my guess is it's running like normal.

Not bone dry as the pump doesn’t take in the oil from the bottom, but I bet the impeller would be splashing oil *EVERYWHERE!*
