UNIQUE Otis Traction Passenger & Service Elevators at The Holiday Inn Riverview, Charleston, SC
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Filmed March 2019.
At first glance, you may think these are just your typical boring modded Otises. Yeah, they were modded, and it's unfortunate cause according to SC Records, these were the ONLY Haughtons EVER installed in South Carolina!!! That said the mod and elevators as a whole are pretty unique for a number of reasons....
For one, Notice the Concave VR Series 3 button used for the Restaurant in addition to the other Series 2 buttons on the right elevator!!! I've NEVER seen that before, and the elevator next to it has a STRANGE, Quiet " Electronic Clicky" Floor Passing Chime!!!!
Also, even though this is a Series 2 mod, the Indicators in the lobby are Series 1, and also, notice how the 2 passengers are HOSPITAL SIZED, and have 2 speed doors while the Service Elevator has center opening doors and a regular sized cab!!!! Very strange!!! Typically it's the other way around!!
And as for the service elevator, it has the VERY RARE Red Digital Series 1 indicator you don't typically see everyday, and it has the VERY RARE Surface Mounted Series 1 Hall Stations as well as the Regular Series 1 COP typically used on Hydros even though it's Traction, and the original indicator is still inside, although it no longer works!!!!
Otherwise, these are relatively basic, but these were still pretty cool and have NUMEROUS Unique Features both listed above and in the video that prevented them from being "boring" or your typical Otis mod!!!! That said, of course I wish these were original!!!!
Also, the views up top are VERY NICE, and I do certainly hope you liked my photos I got up top as well as my street photos of Charleston that are shown at the end of the video!!!!
That all being said, enjoy a VERY UNIQUELY done mod job by Otis on what were the ONLY Haughtons ever installed in South Carolina!!!
Installed: 1971 (Haughton L Series)
Modernized: Circa 1990s or 2000s (Otis Elevonic 411M Mod with New Motors & Controllers and New Door equipment, and Series 2 fixtures on the Passenger Elevators, and Newer Series 1 on the Service Elevator. Cab was left original in service elevator but redone in passengers. Doors left as is)

My 6yo loves your videos!
WOW, that's actually really rare. And on the service elevator, that red digital indicator is actually quite rare. Awesome video btw.
All three cars are fine. Glad you put the still shots in at the end.
Beautiful elevators

Thank you!
VR Series 3 Concave is so rare that I don't even know of an elevator that uses it as the primary buttons. There probably is one and I just haven't looked, but you get the point. The clicking on the other elevator is probably a broken Otis beeper, and the service elevator looks like the inside of an old shower.

LOL regarding the comment about the service elevator!!! And regarding the other elevator, yeah, that's what I was thinking too. It sounds interesting though. And yeah, i wish more Series 3 was around and yeah, I wonder the same thing about the VR Series 3 buttons
I’m terrified of being trapped in elevators. Would you say this elevator is safe?
Very nice
Concave Series 3 Luxury VR What the Heck
I like the passenger elevators 2 speed door configuration and with the pictures on the doors and I like the service elevator because of the brick square wall and red indicator on the Series 1 that was a mod.
Nice
I wish they were still Haughton
Remember right the service elevator with permission
WOO HOO
I highly doubt Series 3 VR even exists if none have ever been found. Probably just a spare Otis 2000 VR button that they found lying around so they put it in there.
Cool!

On a set of 3 elevators, I prefer Left & Middle. On a set of 2 elevators, I prefer Left.

Todd Staub part of my Autism is that I like Left better than Right, but that’s okay. Having Autism is fun!!
The tile on the service looks weird. It’s possible that there were more Haughtons, but may have been re-branded on records when modded or replaced, even though most of the time SC shows the installer as the brand. But I’m sure the number of Haughtons in SC were in the single-digits.

Now looking on records changing it from active to all, it looks like there’s 1 more @ 171 Ashley Ave. in Charleston, & it also appears there used to be Haughton escalators @ the Uptons Dept. Store in Greenville.

Yeah, SC only shows the installer and nothing regarding any mods done which as a result, knowing how SC records are, I'm seriously thinking these were the only Haughtons that were ever installed in SC

It appears there’s also a Haughton @ MUSC Children’s Health, although that may be staff only, & even if it is, it may have been modded anyway, as Otis has been modding a lot of stuff there lately.
