HD Retake of the amazing scenic HIGHdraulic elevator at the W Hotel in Buckhead Atlanta, Georgia. This elevator connects the street with Whiskey Blue, a bar located on top of the hotel. To the best of my knowledge, this is currently the tallest hydraulic elevator in the world, although the scenic elevator at the former El Dorado hotel in San Diego holds the all-time record. Unfortunately, that elevator was dismantled in the early 90′s. Copyright 2010 Elevation Productions Links: www.starwoodhotels.com www.gerberbars.com www.tripadvisor.com

12 stories? that is not a HIGHdraulic, that is a SKYdraulic
Check out my channel(Pokemonelevator), I have a vid Of a Minnesota elevator machine room
A traction would still have been more expensive.
I recently heard that this hotel now has keycard readers for their elevators. it makes me wonder if this one got a key card reader. I might visit atlanta this summer and I would love to get a take of this one.
How could a Hydraulic elevator be able to travel up 12 floors. Its takes an entire minute or 2 for the elevator to travel to the top. I thought Hydraulic elevators can only go up 50ft max. Don’t know how a hydraulic ram can be able to extend and support the elevator from 100ft high?
What’s on the 4th floor?
Yep, although the parts were supplied my Minnesota Elevator.
12 story HIGHDRAULIC? INSTALLED BY KONE? IN 2008? SERIOUSLY!
Wow, still awesome to this day. I knew this was probably a KONE. Also, did you try to film the hotel portion of that Mansion on Peachtree?
Nah, the reason is that traction was too expensive for them and this elevator carries 10,000 pounds a distance of 13 floors!
I have no clue – it would have probably been cheaper to build a traction simply because this elevator definitely was built on special order.
Best elevator EVER!
@ThePcTrickster That’s just cathode. It’s not malfunctioning. It’s like a CRT Monitor.
Because it’s AWESOME!
I dont get it. Why build a highdraulic elevator like that.
Nice music, would appreciate it if anyone could identify the title of it.
It’s right there.
@WashingtonElevators It’s a rooftop bar.
@lonerman270 nice view. yes that elevator is cool. that couch is unusual for an elevator. what’s on 4?
how tall is this?
well there’s Schindler freight elevators labeled Minnesota
They use non-proprietary equipment from GAL and MCE, which means that it is neither.
Being that it was manufactured by MEI, it is most likely made up of non-proprietary equipment from GAL and MCE.
Wow, that’s just awesome, probably not good for the environment though.
Also hasn’t the sofa vanished?
