Amazingly, the shop staff have posted sings on this elevator basically saying you may use it, but have to follow some rules (close doors after usage, stay away from shaft walls, etc.). There are glass panels in the cab and the shaft, which is odd for a freight elevator. Going up, this elevator is rather noisy and stops with a loud bump.

Capacity: 2000kg / ~4410lbs / 26 people
