Welcome to JimLiElevators: My name is Jim and I am an elevator photographer based in central Texas. I have always loved elevators when I was a kid. Been filming since 2005. I present to you elevators that are both vintage and modern. Not only that I film elevators, but I'm also interested into trains as well. I'll occasionally upload animated elevators because I've had a lot of fun making them. So with that said, I hope you enjoy your visit to my channel.
Thanks so much for your loyal viewership. I take pride in keeping this channel clean for all ages. I am also a born Christian, so I want to keep it pleasing to Jesus as well! “For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16."
I'm also thankful to Andrew Reams (DieselDucy) who's the deepest inspiration towards me to start this channel. That said, make sure you subscribe. Thanks and have a great day! :D

Montgomery Hydraulic Elevator at Robertson Hall, University Of St. Thomas in Houston, TX.
Video Recorded on June 19, 2024: This is the only elevator I filmed on this whole entire campus as a lot of elevators aren’t so exciting and I was also on a time crunch, but I will try to visit this place a little bit more the next time I’m back here again. Installed in 1994.

Dewhurst in Texas?!? Modernized ESCO Hydraulic Elevators at 3909 Hulen Street in Fort Worth, TX.
Переглядів 1,4 тис.День тому
Video Recorded on May 21, 2024: This is a very rare find in Texas! But first thing I must point out to you is that these are NOT Delta elevators. According to the records, these used to be ESCO. Delta was more than likely based from out of Florida I think, but I’m not sure though. Anyways, never what I find an elevator with Dewhurst US89 fixtures as they are all common in Canada. Speaking of th...
Misaligned Wiring??? Older Dover Impulse Hydraulic Elevator at 17480 Dallas Parkway in Dallas, TX.

Video Recorded on May 22, 2024: This is probably one of the oldest first generation Dover Impulse elevator I have ever seen before. Not sure when Impulse was first invented, but got to be around that time-ish or something while Dover Traditional were still in production as well. Anyways, the wiring for the COP was kind of messed up. When you press the “DOOR CLOSE” button, the “2” button lights ...

Video Recorded on April 17, 2024: This is truly a surprise gem! I say that because University Of Houston barely even has any vintage elevators that are completely original, and I happen to see this particular building from the 80’s while riding the on-campus bus, so I happen to find time to make a stop here for a visit. Most of the elevators on campus have slap on fixture mods like 100% of the ...

Im still wondering what button thats from at the beginning who modernized the second floor call button
Innovation.
Very nice for a 20 story building, what did you use for this?
Paint.
Great find! I love the Westinghouse dinner bell! I've never seen a dinner bell as the floor passing chime, though!
This elevator looks exactly like an elevator I rode at University of Alaska Fairbanks.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 sooo funny !!
Weird elevator, but pretty quick hydro motor.
I love the sounds of an epic motor on an elevator like this.
I’m glad you got to film the elevators before the mod. Those elevators are pretty cool.
I really love that call station!
I hate when vintage elevators get ruined or destroyed. Modernized elevators make it more boring unless if it’s a nice mod.
Epic motors with epic chimes!
We were there back in 2018, and they moved faster than this, and especially compared to previous visits in the past in the early 2000's
The definition of Fail-Safe, it failed but It was safe
Oh I love that dinner bell 🔔
Congratulations Jim❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Massive elevator Great elevator😊
Nice video, Jim! I love the Westinghouse Dinner Bell!
I used the watch these all the time…. Time flies. I’ve made a couple of my own animations
Wow nice elevator I Love your videos!!
I knew these were Montgomery!! By looking at the doortrack & the MAC door equipment
Another Amazing A Pitched motor!! This is a nice one fs!!
I love it when the Motor Pitch on a Submersible pump is A. It makes it MORE EPIC than boring B Flat
EVERYTHING about this mod is perfect!
That motor sounds like the one at the Houston Hobby airport parking garage.
Very interesting for an elevator like this around the United States.
I’ve found a couple of elevators with Dewhurst in Ohio, shocked me both times
Good video and awesome elevator.
This is absolutely beautiful! Especially for a mod!
EPIC MOTOR
HOLY MOLY THAT MOTOR
Epic motor
1:05 The motor:😕 2:05 The shaking:👹☠👹☠👹☠
I’m so happy that you had some amazing experience with the TX30, especially that it focuses really well.
Did you just ask the staff here if you could get the elevator to yourself?
Yes I did. You can just talk to one of the staff if they can get you an elevator to yourself.
Nice. Buttons of daylight/soft light seem odd but I’ve filmed that last month I believe
I remember one day me and my best friend were filming this elevator we had a lot of trouble getting that first floor button to work. We had to press and hold that button down pretty tightly to get it to work. I’m afraid button replacements for that will be pretty hard to find
That 1 button is non ADA compliant...... That is way beyond glitched
Motor sounds like Elmwood, very nice lift.
This thing seems to have a problem pressing 1. I've always wondered why when I press the door close, button 2 would light up. This thing is interesting
Im better the key card reader being on the main floors than inside the elevator. Because if i stay somewhere else. Then I can elevators from the top as i film them if I stay in a different hotel
Nice video
The top panel of that elevator is mismatched, the indicator was supposed to be on top and the Dover logo and capacity sign was supposed to be on bottom.
Nice A pitched motor!
I really love love this motor. When was this elevator installed in
Ooh 2003 I’m sorry the voice is not necessary except for traction elevators then it’s okay to have the floor speaker. Usually on hydraulic elevators having the voice speaker is not necessary
This elevator is amazing no words to describe how much I love love it 😍 too bad it’s rare though
That STARTUP tho!
That glitch really caught me off guard. This elevator could use some TLC.
messed up for an older Dover traditional
Why is the title so confusing?
