Scary Hitachi Elevators - Gajah Mada Tower, Jakarta, ID (Shuttle)

These two elevators can be found around the corner from the food court on the 2nd floor (previously 3A) and they basically act as "shuttle elevators" between the mall and office tower lobby. While all the elevators in the shopping mall have been replaced into TKE in 2022 (saved for the lone grotty elevator in the parking garage which has been modernized by Pillar), the office tower elevators are still original, though it's only a matter of time now before they get replaced as renovation works will start soon for the tower. Also since these elevators haven't replaced yet, they still use the old floor numbering whereas the newly replaced elevators in the mall are now using the new numbering.

Sadly these elevators are not in good condition now as the right hand car, for some strange reason, would slows down and suddenly "drop" when going down, so it basically doesn't run at full speed. Same for going up but not worse, not sure what causes it to do this but it's rather scary and gives you that "death trap" feel. Certainly these are not very well maintained now especially with their age of more than 40 years old.

The lone elevator at the end of the hallway is the tower's fireman/service elevator which wasn't working sadly. Filmed with JC 95 Elevator.
