2000 ThyssenDover Traditional Traction Elevators at 3800 Arco Corporate Drive (Charlotte, NC)

8 months ago

Also known as Whitehall Corporate Center/Office Building 1.

This is actually a building I missed last time. Before the 500A invasion, this and a nearby building with ThyssenKrupps had these Traditional Tractions.

While the fixture choice would be better with Impulse or Dover Vandal Resistant, later Dover Traditional is not that common under the Dover Era. However, these do not run good at all and the buttons are a bit more beaten up.

FUN FACT: All elevators on the Whitehall Corporate Center Property are Tractions and all go the same speed of 350 FPM regardless of floors or brand.
