Characteristics
Endura MRL's most distincive feature is the hinged panels located in the door jamb, usually on the second level from the bottom. The lower panel conceals the controller, which would be in the machine room on a traditional hydraulic. This panel is similar to that of an Otis Gen2.
Endura MRLs level very quickly compared to other hydraulic models, especially when going down.
Endura uses Enviromax, TK's biodegradable hydraulic fluid, which consists mostly of canola oil. This fluid is better for the environment than conventional petroleum fluid.
All Endura MRLs have the "grocery beep" floor passing chime.
Endura MRL makes a "whooshing" sound when starting up, this allows it to be told apart from the standard Endura by sound.
