Eastern’s gone: Kleemann (fmr Eastern) MRL Traction elevator at 636 George Street, Sydney CBD NSW

Recorded on May 26, 2024
While the LOP on the ground floor (or maybe any other floor) has a huge panel on it, that would mean it's an obvious replacement; this used to be an Eastern Hydraulic lift which I've never got around filming until now, where it's a Chinese-spec Kleemann and not the regular LiSA/Genius20-specced ones. I'm interested these are actually quite different to their main counterpart as they do have the Asian chimes (which has also been used on a set of 2 normal Kleemanns here, at HOTA Gallery QLD. Elevators from South East Queensland has filmed them, you can click here to see the video:    • Nice 2020 KLEEMANN Atlas Gigas MRL Tr...  ) and the typical Chinese accented English voice instead of the common KLAU here. This does use STEP just like the regular ones here too. Quite a big difference if you really see it, has a much more bigger indicator obviously. Not a bad replacement for some lifts like these, but my first time riding a China-based one as I've used so many of the LiSA spec ones here. This place is also just restaurants so... I did get seen quite a few times but it doesn't matter. ‪@Samuelselevatorchannel‬ has also filmed this before being replaced, so thanks to him for getting it before the replacement.
