2005 Kone KSS 370 Hydraulic Elevator at 403 Gilead Road (Huntersville, NC)

This was a place I wanted to see for the building, not so much for the elevators. It is a 4 Story Office Building in the middle of nowhere near the lake. It's a few years old and some parts aren't finished being constructed, like the 2nd floor is still a construction zone.

This building houses 2 Gen2's. I don't really care for these in general, but these ones were REALLY smooth riders. I took one for a spin and then tried the other one before getting interrupted after going up, so I only got to film it just go up only. Ehh, whatever. I kinda like these for newer Gen2's.

FUN FACT: These are Belt Driven, which might explain the smoothness of the ride quality.
