Although the top part of the shaft allows for views of the machinery, the cab of this elevator is entirely enclosed. The elevator uses an EcoDisc motor, which is painted grey rather than green. The rear door opens on floor "-1", as demonstrated in the video. On the control panel below the floor indicator, there are some unused buttons for unknown reasons.
