Every Dover/Thyssenkrupp Impulse Hydraulic Elevator at FurnitureLand South (Jamestown, NC)

That's right, all 5 Impulses in one video. It would be tedious to do seperate videos for all of these.

Let's start with the TK one. It's the largest of the 5 Impulses, also the newest as it was put in around 2003. It's in great shape for a Hybrid Service/Passenger Cab!

The next two are almost about the same. The 1st one is the oldest, being put in around 1987. It has a Slap On Style Panel and an Overhead (and dead) indicator. The 2nd one is about the same, but with one more floor and a few years newer.

The last two are from 1998 and are probably the worst running ones of the 5, especially the 1st one. I think some fixing up will definitely improve them.

Enjoy this very Impulsive video.

FUN FACT: On that day, I filmed a total of 22 Fucking Impulses out of the over 40 I've seen, counting these 5. END MY SUFFERING.
