Who am I? Hi, my name is Tom, I'm a lift enthusiast based in Lancashire, UK I like any type of lift really; ancient or modern; generic or big-brand. The only type of lift you will not find me filming is Platform Lifts.

I have had an interest in lifts since 2005 (4 years old). I used to be able to design and animate lifts in PowerPoint (This was years ago, bearing in mind!) and recently have taken to coding and designing my own Lift COP (Car Operating Panels) using Arduinos and the ArduinoC language.

The fastest lift I have ridden so far is the 60s original Otis Lexan in the Blackpool Tower (Passenger Lift serving four floors). This lift goes 2m/s in 4 speed steps (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2) whilst accelerating, and then goes from 2m/s straight to 0.5m/s for levelling (No speeds in-between)

My YouTube Background I first started filming lifts in early 2016 - a 1m/s Otis Gen2 MRL in Home Sense, Preston - using a Moto G 3rd Generation (1080p video). These lift videos were uploaded to my main channel.

I only uploaded a few lift videos to that channel before I decided to create a separate channel in Late 2017. My first video for the new channel was a 0.5m/s MacPuersa MRL Lift in Booths, Poulton.

I now use a Samsung Galaxy J5 2016 to film all of my videos (Unless it's a special video, where I use my main camera - a Canon PowerShot SX530 HS Bridge Camera)

Who I respect I try to base my lift channel around the people I respect. I like creating professional standard lift videos; I'm not into acting like a 7 year old child (like some people). Here are my most respected YouTubers:
