7 Crazy Home Lift Colors

Conventional lifts are boring.

The vast majority think that stainless steel (or hairline stainless steel if you’re being fancy) is a color. In extreme cases, you will get gold or bronze finishes. Talk about a lack of originality.

However, one of the wonderful advantages of the growing home lift segment from brands such as Cibes Lift or Kalea Lifts is the amazingly wide variety of colors that they can provide. You won’t believe the following crazy colors we have delivered lifts in!


  • 1 1.     Sky Blue
  • 2 2.     Double Purple
  • 3 3.     Lime Green
  • 4 4.     The Barbie Lift
  • 5 5.     The Fireman Lift
  • 6 6.     Green Apple Lift
  • 7 7.     Gold Like the Sun


This customer wanted the lift to match his window finishes and stair design, both of which had touches of sky blue.…

How to change the wiki editor mode (Oct 2020)

This blog tells you how to change the wiki editor from VisualEditor to a different non-VE one. In case you haven't known yet, the wiki editor of Elevatorpedia has been changed to a new editor as part of Wikia's wiki migration project to the Unified Community Platform (UCP) by the Wikia staffs. The migration took place on 30 September 2020 (GMT+08:00, Central Indonesia/Singapore/Malaysia/Hong Kong time).


By the time the editor was changed, the VisualEditor, which I personally not very fond of because of how inconvenient and crap it is to use, has been enabled again as a default. However, you can change your preferred editor to a different one if you are not really convenient with the VisualEditor.


EDIT: The VisualEditor has a source editor mo…

Company infobox upgrades!

As you might know from the previous blog post, IDLift3000 started a major project to update all our company's articles from the horribly outdated and unmaintainable Template:Infobox to the more modern and sane Template:Infobox company.

I will be undertaking the major upgrade work, and will be using AutoWikiBrowser for the task. It's a powerful browser for MediaWiki that allows many of the hardest jobs of this project to be performed automatically, such as finding and replacing (or even outright removing) outdated code. Some other touch up edits might be performed too.

Of course, I would welcome anyone join our humble project. Check this page for a list you could upgrade! But I'll probably be the main driver.

Elevatorpedia Updates Report - Mid April 2020

This blog is going to talk about a few upates I am currently working on Elevatorpedia. This blog will be updated periodically; as soon as a project is completed, the title of it will be struck through.

  • 2 Wiki Navbox update
  • 3 "Elevator Company Infobox" update
  • 4 Other recent updates on this wiki (so far)
  • 5 Upcoming projects


STATUS: DONE (April 20, 2020)

The List of elevator and escalator companies page is currently being massively updated by redesigning the tables and cleaning up some things.

For the tables, since the existing "white & gray" tables looks rather plain (and boring), I've decided to redesign the tables with a new design I "borrowed" from another FANDOM wiki (not related wi…

Dual operation elevators?

Here are some elevators that might be (or have been) dual operation elevators, but it is unconfirmed if they are. If anyone knows of any other videos/photos of possible dual operation elevators, please leave a comment. I think I may have seen a few other videos/photos but not sure where.

I'm not sure if you can add videos to blog posts, for now here are the links.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3IXEzUO75s (this might be a dual operation elevator)

Hello, for the first time.

Hello my people. I'm not new to Elevatorpedia – in fact, I have been wandering here for about 2 years now. I never really used to edit anything. But then, I started gaining more knowledge about elevators. I decided it. My mission was to get the elevator enthusiasts to know about my country - Brazil. We are practically the Latin leaders in elevator production. OTIS, Schindler and thyssenkrupp all have their South and Central American headquarters here. We export a lot of elevators to Latin America. 

Only that, there was a problem. You see, on the Internet, there are tons of information on elevators from the USA, Asia, Europe... But almost none from Latin America. So, I treated to get some photos, videos, and information about my country's el…

Film elevators or travel outside your home country

Most of us love travel right? Some elevator filmers or non elevator filmers will also choose the best hotels in the city (either budget, low end, mid end or high end hotels) either with or without elevators.

Less elevator filming (since January 2018 till future notice)

For those who notice that since January 2018 (after my Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai trip), I'm less elevator filming due to out of places. Some place that I go due to I have events at that place such as RTC Tunjong and few others. Some elevators are from others and some I make a retake. Sometimes, I re-uploaded some my old elevator videos which is from CKS Channel (my old channel, where I abandoned for more than 3 years).

If you notice since November 2017 till June 2018, I didn't make any ElevaMix (Elevator Music Video) for some reasons due to busy and also, render is quite slow due to using intergrated graphics (Intel HD graphics). On July 2018, I make ElevaMix again to test how fast its rendering when I'm changing the settings somew…

New title format for all elevator fixtures guide page.

With this blog, I have announced the new title format for all existing elevator fixtures guide pages in this wiki. This means that all of these pages will have their old title changed with the new format. The reason why I'm doing this is because I feel that the new title format sounds more suitable than the old one.


Below here is a comparison of the old title format with the new format.


  • 1 Old title format
  • 2 New title format
    • 2.1 What to note:
    • 2.2 Updates


This is the old title format which is still being used in some pages.

The future of my YouTube channel

Before anything else I have to say this: If you live in a country where most people have unique names, NEVER reveal your real name online unless required or until you turn 27, as when you grow up and apply for a job, your name might be searched, and anything about your name may cause other candidates to be selected instead of you. However, if you live in United States, it maybe fine to do so, as many Americans share the same first and last names.

  1. The videos might pose a security/privacy issue, or made people think that I am committing a crime.
  2. The videos and/or my act of filming could get me in trouble despite photography is allowed.
  3. The buildings don't allow photography, despite being totally far away from that hotel.

Advise to all elevator filmers

I am writing this to inform you about entering and wandering around buildings, no matter if you are filming the elevators there or not.

On the afternoon of May 12, I was walking around a hotel and was recognized by some security guards. I was then told not to ever, ever visit that hotel again unless I have a legitimate reason to be there, such as visiting someone, or else I will get arrested for trespassing. Due to that, I deleted my elevator videos filmed there. Thank you.

Elevator filming guide in Bangkok V2

If you want to film elevators in one of the world's tourist destination...

If you want to find some nice elevators, which often mixed Japanese, Korean and Western brands and fixtures...

You come to right place!

Bangkok is a large city which can find many awesome elevators, despite older buildings which has less floors may not have elevators. (But filming escalators is OK right?)

Traffic jam may be troublesome, but public transportations can help you.

In the future it will be more convenient to go throughout city, not only Bangkok but also Greater Bangkok (Nonthaburi, Pathumthani, Samut Prakarn, Nakhon Pathom and Samut Sakhon) as well.

This guide can help you film elevators better.

How to do research

Here are some of my tips on doing research.

1. Elevator company websites

Visiting elevator company websites can be good to find out what are that company's current elevator models, and their specifications.

2. Internet Archive Wayback Machine

On archive.org, there is a very helpful resource called the WayBack Machine. It allows you to visit archived versions of websites from the past, sometimes as early as 1996. This is mainly useful for visiting archived version of elevator company websites, and seeing what products they made back then. You can also search for particular websites (good for finding websites of defunct elevator companies).

3. Elevator catalogs

If you either get an elevator catalog, or find scans of one online on a website such as…

Comeback on my old elevator channel!

Hello all! So, my plan is to become active once again on my elevator channel, uploading videos once a week at the minimum (if all goes according to plan). Just letting you all know in case you want to come on over to my channel and give me a little support! Hopefully this doesn't count as self-promotion or advertising, but here's the link to My Channel. My goal is to try to have new videos uploaded by the end of next month (hopefull everything will line up and fall into place by then). I've just had so much going on over the past year that I really had to slack off on the uploading, but I'm going to try and make time to keep the quality content coming this time!

I recommended you rent a car because Langkawi is very lack of public transport. I have ever take a Proton Saga mid 80's car which costs RM40/day. If you prefer international car, it begins RM120…

Unexpected filming elevator date

Sometime, I planned to film elevator (eg: I planned to film an elevator at KB Mall this 1 July) but failed to do so.

Sometime, I am not planned to film that elevator (eg: I found Otis elevator nearby but I never film that before), I approach to an elevator, take out the phone and start filming without saying in here and on my Facebook.
