@aeronmelon This is in a building in a factory in Belgium. The elevator is from 2001, and I believe that's when the building was build. I don't really know why they chose to do this. The right door does lead directly outside on the ground floor. That can be handy for bring in materials. The other floors have the door go directly in the big warehouse room. The left wall would have the stairwell behind it. Going directly from outside to warehouse floor does sound like a plausible explanation.
... the yellow guardrails ... didn't need to be yellow, did they? Stainless steel, at least in parts of the shaft that's gonna get rubbed hard ... would bring down maintenance and improve looks.
Dammit I was on this elevator last month, it was fast and smooth and really well balanced. Like, you barely noticed when it started moving. Wasn't janky in the slightest. The thing was so well maintained I wanted to call the shop and put in a customer appreciation note or something, but now I can't remember where (approx. 750 miles away) it was. I also kind of wanted them to service some of our elevators out here because they're shit.
~~Uh... Aren't most elevators covered in 90° angles? Secondly, most freight/business elevators have two sides that open, often on opposite sides of the chamber. ~~
Third question, and maybe I should've led with this: how fucking high are you?'Cause, I'm baked as fuuuck 🤣🤷🏼♂️
I've seen a lot of pass through doors on opposite sides, this is the first I've seen doors front and adjacent. I'd say it's mildly interesting and I'm unfortunately sober

Eh, sometimes they can be a real letdown.

Isn't this pretty normal for a freight elevator?
metallic_substance@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 356d
Yes, very. I work in manufacturing and this is commonplace in so many places

Is this inJapan? I see this a lot in Japan. Especially at train stations that weren’t originally designed for elevators.

@Evil_Shrubbery
But how else will gamers know that they can climb up the guardrail?
Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club · 2 pts · 356d
Very true, too many ppl would get stuck.
I assume if I stay still for a while there is a visible hint pointing to one of the climbable guardrails?

@abovearth @mildlyinteresting I've ssen one in a metro in Japan, I do not remember wether it was Tokyo, Kyoto or Osaka

And here I thought the elevators with door on opposite sides of each other that I've seen at hospitals were unique.
Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 356d
Although, judging from the picture, they seem to be NOT at a 90° angle.
Would personally classify this as "mildly infuriating" ;-)
TheMinister@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 356d
I think that’s the wide angle lens causing a distortion, they do look like they’re at 90°
Look at the weird dimensions of the light above

l think you are right... Damn fisheye effect!

Pretty high, yep 🤪

I'm fine thanks

I'm thinking that seeing this was so unexpected that you not only assumed it was two pictures, but also read the description wrong.
This is one picture, and the elevator doesn't "have 90 degree corners in it" it has the doors on two walls perpendicular to each other.
