EPIC non-OEM Thyssenkrupp hydraulic scenic elevators at the Uniqlo 5th Ave Flagship in NYC

(📹 5/24/2025) I'm back from my posting hiatus!

These are one of the two banks (the only one I filmed tho) of absolutely epic scenic Thyssenkrupp elevators at the Uniqlo store on Fifth Avenue in NYC. They have Innovation fixtures and epic Sematic door equipment. They are completely scenic, except to the Fifth Avenue side where there are mannequins on display. These have fantastic dry power motors. The door equipment is off the charts. I love the exposed clutches on these, and you get to see them move!

Please note that I may still have random posting hiatuses here and there. My mental health matters more than my channel IMO. I will try to post 1-2 videos daily.
