[R1] OTIS Cargo 2000 Elevators | Westquay, Southampton, UK (Podium Car Park)

While the main glass elevators and the ones in the multi storey car park across the street have been modernized by KONE, these elevators which serve the podium car park underneath the shopping mall are surprisingly still original. They are still unchanged since I first filmed these back in October 2023, and I don't know how long they will last here. These aren't regular OTIS 2000 but Cargo 2000, which is basically a freight elevator variant of the OTIS 2000 series with more robust car design, much simpler car interior and vandal resistant buttons. And I realized that these are actually hydraulic (possibly twin post with chains), with the machine room located on level 0 for some reason (see photos at the end of the video). 📝 Quick elevator review ➕️ Pros: • Runs very well • Robust looking elevators • Disabled friendly ➖️ Cons: • Broken interior floor indicators on one of the cars ℹ️ Info • Brand: OTIS • Model: Cargo 2000 • Manufacturer: OTIS • Installed by: OTIS plc • Maintained by: KONE plc • Type: Hydraulic • Usage: Passenger • Capacity: 26 Persons / 2000 kg • Floors served: -1, 0, 1, 2 (4 floors) • Year installed: 1999 • Fixtures: OTIS 2000 • Control type: Microprocessor • Number of elevator car(s): 2 • History: Original 📍 Westquay 🌐 Southampton, United Kingdom (UK) 🏢 Shopping center 📷 Samsung Galaxy A53 5G 🗓 11 September 2025 ©️ 2025 IDL3K ⚠️ Reusing or reuploading any of my content is PROHIBITED without my permission!
