Always enjoy your videos, so thanks for another! Any idea what the point is of the aluminum fencing between the shafts?

5:28 Interesting how rough-and-ready the door operators seem on these.

Nice video, as usual!

Mooie installatie, dank voor de rondleiding 👍

Interesting motor design, minimising the floor space needed, likely to fit into a smaller motor room. Plus the brake being before the worm gear, the designer wanted to be absolutely sure the brake would never be able to be overdriven, no matter the load in the car. Wonder how many poles that motor is, and the reduction of each stage of the gearbox before the worm drive.

Die beiden stehenden Motoren sind nicht oft zu sehen! Gute Aufnahmen!

Sehr schöne Otis Anlage das war wirklich noch langlebige Qualität, leider nicht mehr zu vergleichen mit einen Gen2 von Heuzutage.

Meiner meinung doch ziemlich billige Anlagen. Doch sehr schönes Bremsgerausch 😀 Die Gamma Steuerungen sind hammer. Auch typisch: Keine Ausgleichseilen oder Ketten bei diese höhe.
