Overview
Otis 2000 was a series of European Otis elevator models for low to mid rise buildings in Europe, introduced in 1993. Mainly sold in Europe, it was also available to other regions around the world including Asia. It has been known that this series was produced in Germany and Spain.
In Indonesia, this is a very rare series as Citas Otis had only installed very few units in the late 1990s.
Characteristics
- Otis 2000 elevators have a very distinctive design. The car station has two vertical lights on the sides and the ceiling is curved without lights.
- Arrival chime is a distinctive high pitched electronic sound.
