Fully Complete Mod! SmartRise Hydraulic Elevators at Sugar Land Medical Building in Sugar Land, TX.

Video Recorded on January 27, 2022: Well guys, guess what? I finally got around getting a fully annual take on both these elevators in their fully completed form at this particular local facility I used to have a doctors appointment in when I was young after years of waiting and requests that I’ve received in the past year! As you remember back in 2018, I did a before-during-after modernization video (especially on the Dover, traditional elevator, since I was able to retrieve parts from there). But now, here’s a take on both elevators after the modernization project was officially complete, which was completed I believe four or five years ago since, but I hadn’t had a chance to revisit this place until now, as I totally forgot about it as well. Coincidentally, I happen to upload this a year ago from today after I filmed this! But in the meantime, these elevators used to have a separate call station apart from each other as they were installed at a different time. Since modernization, it now has a single call station that is connected to both elevator cars, which means that they are now on the same controller in other words. It’s quite unfortunate these got modernized as I really love the brass look better when these were still original as it matches well with the building itself. You can also tell they have even added a voice announcement on both of the elevator cars. Lastly, to say, I’m also glad that I was able to retrieve the parts from the Dover elevator in which I do wish I could’ve gotten the Westinghouse parts, but they have already been scrapped by the time I first discovered these elevators on the chopping block back in summer of 2018. But I hope you guys enjoy this fully updated video of these particular elevators in their full completion, and hopefully I was able to fill your request!

Right Elevator: Install in 1981.

Left Elevator: Installed in 1983.

Both elevators completely modernized in 2018.

Hey Jim, really enjoyed the premiere earlier tonight! The completion of this extensive elevator modernization after 4 years came out great! I really like the cab designs, voice, the light up green and red sensors, new external chimes, and the epic motors too! I’m going to miss the former 1981 Westinghouse, especially the 1983 Dover elevator too. But I’m glad you were able to retrieve the parts from the Dover, with the Smartrise elevator company, during their process in modernization in 2018! Great video as always too man!

I remember this two elevator Westinghouse Dover. Jim I love your videos!

I still can't believe they modernized them completely. I remember your first full HD take and how you reacted to the Westy already being modded. I'd say, the mod is not that bad in general, at least there's no more rumbling issues like the Westy had before the mod. Heck, the mod doesn't look that great at the same imo, I'm glad you got the parts for the Dover.

wuu huu I was waiting so long for the smartrise video😊I am an elevator enthusiast too😊😊😊😊😊

[Photoelectric_Elevators]

That's cool that it got the talking version of the Janus sensors. They're neat

You have finally returned to the 15200 Sugar Land building, where the elevators were modded in 2018. What a big change!

I never ridden in a SmartRise elevator before and yes I do remember these elevators back in 2018 I bet those elevators were installed in 2018

[RobloxElevatorsAndMoreYT]

I’m happy you filmed these again good job

[Whosthisguy]

back to your childhood elevator huh? nice

[southwest]

I miss it. I remember that last 2018 video.

[evochick]

i like the westinghouse and the dover elevator

[Nasiens]

I know that the mod looks boring and generic from what the elevators used to be, but I actually like the Epic Motor from the elevator that used to be a Dover.
Still remember watching your videos when both elevator where original, and during the modding process (Dover Traditional and Westinghouse AE).

[EvergreenElevators]

pretty nice mod, but I am a bit disappointed with the removal of the brass... the conventional stainless steel doesn't fit as nicely as the brass once did. I do like the mod itself personally. the voice announcements sound a little weird though

[DavFirealarmsandelevators]

I thought they were gonna be Schindler 6400 Elevators. Seems like they are SmartRise Elevators.

[EEverything]

I see they've redone the metalwork on the Dover's door frames, interesting they didn't do that during the mod

[Paladin]

The Dover elevator mod is kinda nice, while the Westinghouse elevator mod is okay I guess. But I'm glad you were able to save the parts from the old Dover. I like them better when they were original, and that moter in the modded Dover elevator sounds a lot better than I expected.

You uploaded this on my Brother's bday!
