LOUD MOTOR! Original 1980s soviet traction elevators @ Krišjāņa Valdemāra iela 38, Riga, Latvia

on ИВ-12 Vacuum Luminescent indicator, brand of elevator: KMZ.

In Russia

I would of freaked out when it hit the first floor.

Digital indicators are rly cool on those

I guess, they're KMZ or Samarkand
Also, that motor is not original.

So creepy

The motor on the right hand elevator sounds like a motorboat.

Very loud!😆

The motor sounds like a lawn mower

Great video :).


I love this clasic loud door closing sound.

Those are just awesome!

Very slimming those elevators, how fit-it you in with this, hmm?!... Quite nice to find.

Soviet Quality

These lifts are everywhere in Latvia, you can find them in any apartment block from the 80s

Is this overhead traction?

EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Made By soviet :

Two things the USSR was good at - making a national anthem, making elevators.

Manufacturer: MoELZ
Capacity: 500 kg.

Loud just like a hydraulic elevator lol

Finally you went to Latvia because i'm from latvia

KMZ ? 😯😮😨

No room for husky passengers lol

Wtf...why does it stop so roughly?

When the elevator run sounds like a blender when it slow sounds like a tractor

Soviet elevator

Death Trap

it's russian elevators

Oh cool elevator like a stack of sound 👍

Check out "Elevator Engineer's workdays" He services elevators like these. You wouldn't believe the poor state of some of them 😬

As a former Soviet citizen myself, I always rememberer these elevator as fit as many people as you can in the elevator and my face was always squished into the door.

Hang on, are those relay lifts, because there's two of them but one call button, which means that there may be some very weird Soviet relay lift chooser.

fucking scary! would love to see the motor room as well bro!

Awesome elevators

Та это уже 90-е
интересные пороги шахты...

First Soviet elevators with MOSFETs control. Unfortunately control center had too much bugs, so manufacturer discontinued them quickly and replaced with logic gates.

Fucking powerful motor

1986 Lifts with a motor that sounds like a drill!

Russia is a shit country

that can be low in oil !

Sounds like that motor might have bad bearings

Soviet elevators were and are the best! Built by Iljushin airplane works and manufactured to the very highest standards, these machines have an eternal life!

Epic motor!!!!!!!!!!!
