BUKIT MERAH
Rare THYSSEN Hydraulic Car Lift :: Jervois Jade Condominium.
This is my first time filming a Thyssen lift in Singapore and it’s a RARE hydraulic with green buttons that I’ve not seen before! In my own opinion these buttons look hella futuristic, much ahead of its time and are rather satisfying to press.
Another thing to note that the headroom for this lift is the LOWEST I’ve filmed ever on this channel! Its height clearance maxes out at 1.8 metres, I stand at 1.78 metres tall(not that Tall) and I was JUST barely able to enter the lift normally. Even though I am short off the clearance by a small 2cm, I still felt extremely claustrophobic in there! It is to note that this hydraulic lift is for cars and as we all know most cars are shorter than an average Singaporean man which is 1.71 metres so us humans aren’t really meant to use it.
⚠️ADVISORY! As its adjacent lift is undergoing modernisation works by Thyssenkrupp, this lift will soon be up for modernisation as well and that will be the end of these known green buttons. Usually I’d recommend people who are interested to come down and film this lift that’s on death row, but this is going to be different,
DO NOT VISIT this place if you don’t have a valid reason to be here, this is a condominium where people are staying in private residences, and as outsiders we shouldn’t come into this place just for the sake of the lifts as it MIGHT disturb the livelihood of the residents. Plus there are guards here which will have you declare your purpose of visit.
Only visit this place if you have a VALID REASON, such as visiting someone who happens to live there or you’re there for a work contract, such as lift maintenance, plumbing, or electrical works. as for me I was only able to do so as I have a valid reason and hence I just took a short time off to film the lift here.
TLDR: If you’re planning to go here JUST for the lifts without any valid reason, please don’t come as residents might complain.
