RARE Mitsubishi Hydraulic Elevator - Dubai Airport Terminal 1, Dubai, AE (Area 4)

An American Mitsubishi elevator! No, this is not in the United States btw, apparently Dubai Airport (DXB) has several American Mitsubishi elevators which are extremely rare in Asia, and this is one of them.

It looks just like the ones in the U.S., with ADA compliant style fixtures, a call cancel button (which will only work on fireman's control) and in-car lanterns (don't work sadly) on the door jambs. Not sure whether this was imported from North America or the Inazawa Works factory in Japan. Ride was a bit rough though as it would always make a "big bump" upon stopping on the top floor, but other than that this is still a really nice elevator. The only difference here compared to the ones in North America, is that the capacity is listed in kilogram rather than pound (lbs). Definitely not your ordinary Mitsubishi here in Asia, so it's worth the take! Glad I filmed this one before I flew back home.

Didn't go down all the way to G due to lack of time, and this elevator is always busy.
