Montgomery Hydraulic Elevators at SJC Terminal A in San Jose, CA

(Filmed 5/27/25) Finally, an out-of-state upload! This is at the San Jose Mineta International Airport, in San Jose, California (too long of a name to fit in the title, so the airport code SJC is used here instead). There are two terminals here; this set of elevators is at Terminal A, which opened in 1990. The vast majority of airlines serving SJC use this terminal. Though I'm calling this a "set" of elevators here, there's actually one elevator on each side of the security checkpoint (they're both before the checkpoint), going from the check-in counters up to the security checkpoint and to a restricted-access 3rd floor. I believe Montgomery originally installed these, and they likely had Innovation Security buttons prior to them getting modernized by some third-party company. Interesting how the button panels are on different sides of the door for each of these two elevators. © 2026 Hidden Elevator Adventures. All Rights Reserved.
