1980s Fujitec service lift in Hong Kong

Location: Fairmont House, 8 Cotton Tree Drive, Central, Hong Kong Ironically, the service lift is in a much better condition than the passenger lifts. Unlike the main ones, this one uses fixtures that look a lot more standard and is a lot slower. Its very slow for the number of floors it serves, and was constantly getting used by deliverymen. For the speed of this lift, the developers could've opted for Royal Superdyne instead, so I have no idea why they went with the more expensive DC-driven model. This is one of the tallest lifts I've seen with such an indicator, but unfortunately this probably only has a few years left in service, as upgrading plans for the lifts are being discussed.
