1995 Soretex (Thyssen) elevators in poor conditions

Описание: This building has been built in 1994-1995, and is the main building in this large clinic. There are 4 elevators, two bed lifts, one passenger lift and one staff lift. Originally installed by Soretex (a subsidiary of Thyssen), one of the bed lifts has been replaced in 2022 - I didn't bother to film it -, the other one is still running.

The passenger lift is in very poor condition, calls are not registered unless you press the button many times, some buttons simply do not work, and the door open button has been removed. The elevator has been switched off only a few days after I have filmed this video. I guess it will be modernized or replaced, which I understand in this case.

The other buildings in this hospital feature Otis Gen2s, and an original Schindler R-Series with a manual gate :
