These are the passenger elevators at the parking garage at Ikea in Essen. They are not in the best shape optically, but run well and fast. As the outer doors are opaque, you cannot see the drive system. Judging by the delayed start and pump noise before going up, they are obviously hydraulic. As demonstrated in the video, the two elevators run on separate controllers. For two freight elevators and more on the parking garage itself, go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXBUXI_ajes.
