Daniel Cook shares footage of a working paternoster lift. This type of elevator operates on a continuous loop with multiple open compartments that move slowly in a vertical circuit. Common in mid-20th century Europe, paternosters are now rare due to modern safety regulations. #liftdoc | Lift Doc

The Paternoster elevator doesn’t have buttons, doors, or even a stop function. It runs on a continuous loop of open compartments that you enter and exit while it’s moving. Designed in the late 1800s, it was once seen as the future of vertical transport. Today, only a few remain in operation—standing as moving monuments to engineering history. #liftdoc 🎥 @lohmannfelix #Elevator #BlueCollar #FYP #ElevatorMechanicLife #ElevatorTechnician #Lift #Elevators #ElevatorMechanic #Otis #Kone #TKElevator #

Take a look at the last remaining non-stop elevators, the paternoster elevator. The paternoster elevator, which works on a circuit and never stops moving, is rarely seen these days. The invention of the paternoster dated to the 19th century in the UK when it was thought to can deliver more people without as a long of a wait. But they could also be very dangerous if they don't have an emergency shut off triggered by an obstruction. Now only a handful still operate in Central and Eastern Europe. I
