(R1) ThyssenKrupp Evolution MRL [Passenger Lifts] @ Sunway Velocity Hotel****, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur

This is a last post which concludes the lifts within Sunway Velocity area.

This place is a 16-story, 4-star hotel that is directly connected to Sunway Velocity Mall and its other surrounding areas. The hotel had a total of 351 rooms located on levels 6 - 15, where the top floor 16 had an outdoor swimming pool and fitness centre. The hotel can be accessed through the ground and fifth floors of the mall. The ground floor had a reception lobby and level 5 had an express café called Kaffeinate (which was now closed).

The hotel had a total of six lifts consisting of four passenger and two service lifts all supplied by ThyssenKrupp. They serve the ground-floor lobby, mall access on level 5 and hotel levels (6 - 16), where two of them (cars No. H-L1 and H-L2) serve the basement carpark on levels B2 and B3, but did not serve B1 as it is a mall floor or service area. They belonged to Evolution and had the exact same fixtures as the mall ones, but their cab walls are mixed with wave-texture on the sides and orange-coloured cladding on the rear. Levels 6 and above are restricted without a keycard.

They ran at a speed of 2.5 m/s, which was decently fast serving 13 floors (15 if including basement carpark) with their travel height being 20 floors or 81 meters (17 if not including basement carpark), although the accel- and deceleration was smooth but quite slow, being at 0.35 m/s². The ride quality was excellent at the same time, but with less shakings at all.

The two service lifts, where one unit serves the hotel floors and level B1 (which is the loading bay), and the fire lift serving all floors including the mall floors (1 - 4), but these were not visited due to the risk of getting caught.
